Player Valuation: £10m
There's always talk about rival/opposition players and the hatred, such names include Alli, Henderson, Lingard, Wilshere, Herrera, Firmino, etc but what opposition/rival players do you respect? I have drawn out some names who I respect, despite the club they are playing for.

My list is:

Mata
David Silva
Salah
De Gea
Giroud

I also had a lot of respect for Frank Lampard in his playing days. So what is your list?
 

Thierry Henry
Matt Le Tiss
Beckham
Shearer
Di Canio (after that Paul Gerrard moment)

and a few more of this era, back when i watched loads of games and rarely missed MotD (or whatever it was called on ITV).

from the dark side normally there's never anyone but i admit Alonso was a likeable player.

nowadays i honestly don't follow other teams enough to form much of an opinion.
 


Bryan Robson
Mat Le Tissier
Ryan Giggs
Carlton Palmer
Eric Cantona
Alan Shearer
Frank Lampard Jr
Terry Butcher

One of these is deliberately wrong .... Can you spot it?
 
Silva
De Bruyne
De Gea
Mata
Kane
Eriksen
Willian
In bygone days too many to mention
Kevin Moran and Paul McGrath were 2 of dozens.
Money has ruined a lot of players in the modern game.
I admire Mata for his 1% charity foundation and Drogba for all his charity work
