    For me it has got to be Eric cantona closely followed by peter schmeichel and raul! cantona was good but not in the same league as zidane, ronaldinho, henry, ronaldo, kaka, le tissier etc. schmeichel was also good but very overrated for instance his massive frame some what made up for his pool positioning but not completely and he would get lobbed every 3 games! and raul has a good goal scoring record but not one like shearer.

    I guess this is all because with a massive fan base u get massive hype! What do u think? [​IMG]

    His goal record puts Henry's to shame, so as a striker anyone under Shevchenko's goal talley is also 'overrated'... logically that would be correct, no? Thought not. [​IMG]

    He was amazing for AC of course i'm just saying this season he hasn't performed to what everyone knows he can. The only example of him playing well For Chelsea was on monday when he scored that amazing goal. apart from poking in the odd goal what else has he done for the blues?

    Schmeichel was the best keeper of our generation IMO to call him Overated just because he let in a few silly goals is ridiculous

    What he said about Raul and Shearer means his debate is null and void. Thats like saying every striker is overrated. If he actually watched Football then maybe he would see how great Raul, Big Pete and Cantona where.

    Pele... This guy scored deflected goals and people say "Pele was the best" but Maradona ripped 6 or 7 England players apart and scored and carried Napoli himself and people still say Pele was better and rate him 2nd best ever or 3rd.
