A few of the best players I have ever seen live.

Enzo Maresca.

Messi, xavi, iniesta, Zidane, Matheus, Ronaldo (both the fat and thin one) Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Rooney, Zlatan, Owen, Buffon (winning a wc), Baggio, Vialli.

Managing teams Maradona (2010 wc), Cruyff (winning barca's first European Cup) , Ferguson and I think Dalglish when he cameback and wasted £35m on Andy Carroll.

The only one of this lot I recall seeing live was Gary Owen

Anyone who thought Maresca was crap is a simpleton.

I said Maresca in jest. A lot of Albion fans cream themselves over him, when in fact he was an average player with a catchy name who played in a poor side. Didn't pull up any trees in his future career and was loaned out quite a bit. Not in the same class as Koumas, who in my opinion was the most naturally gifted Albion player since Laurie Cunningham.

But another way of looking at him was his value. Knocked on the door for a trial and we sold him for £4.2m
which paid for the team rebuild that got us our ist playoffs and then our ist promotion.

The money we got for Kilbane also contributed to that.

Quite right Des.......Maresca wasn’t even in the same class as Richard Sneekes.

You don’t get to be Ajax’s youngest first team player of all time without being quality.
