Give Di Canio a mention for stopping a certain goal when our keeper was lain out injured, he could of scored, but fair play he did the right thing.
Have to give one Diego Armando Maradona a mention, OK, he's not exactly whiter than white, and the epitome of all that is good with football, but for pure soccer genius and leadership/motivation the guy was unparalleled in terms of ability and what he could do with a ball.
I was fortunate enough to see him play live, the 1986 World Cup final, of all places, he did not score that day, but without him, there is no way Argentina would of won the world cup with the team they had, nearly repeating it four years later, but fell just short.
Without wanting to sound too biased, but William Ralph Dean, get's a mention, a true professional, never sent off, or booked even I think, and this was in the day when defenders make todays counterparts look like Doris Day.
A true legend of the game if ever there was one.
