These so called graceful players are usually the slow but highly skilled players. They do lots of flicks etc but do not run much at defenders. If they were faster they wouldn't look as graceful. Zidane, Bergkamp and Riquelme are one these so called graceful players but only because they are slow, they can't just bomb past defenders like Maradona, Ronaldo etc. Grace means different things to different people. In my humble opinion, Dennis Bergkamp, Gianfranco Zola, Zinedine Zidane, Fernando Redondo are some of the most graceful players in the last thirty years. :geek:
Matt Le Tissier. Man was an utter genius with a football at his feet. Completely unfit, ugly as chuff but an utter genius.
From your description of graceful he doesnt seem to fit, or maybe he does? ; but i'd say Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Defianatley Haji Van Honijonk. He played in the Dutch League for 30 years, he scored 572 Goals in the league. Did I mention the Bottom Dutch league.
