Something to take our minds off from constantly refreshing football sites/forums awaiting the latest transfer gossip.
I know these sort of threads have been done to death but instead of talking about the best striker in the history of the game, let's talk about the best striker WE HAVE SEEN (whether live or on tele) graced the beautiful game.
For e.g. some people are gonna mention Pele but in actual fact, they have never, if not hardly, seen him in action except for a few youtube clips, which are hardly sufficient to make a fair analysis/comment. Unless, of course, you were old enough to really have seen him play, then please do share your views on him cos we younger ones would love to know how you saw him play the game.
Anyway, you get my point.
And if possible, explain why you think he/they are the best.
The best strikers I've ever seen are in the following order :-
1) El Phenomenon...the one and only R9. Still by far, the best I've ever seen. He really was out of this world. There wasn't any goal that he couldn't score. One-on-ones, tap-ins, headers, left foot, right foot, 30 yard screamers, free kicks, everything else !
2) Van Basten
3) Romario....king of one-on-ones....rarely missed them
4) King Kenny
5) George Weah
6) Henry
7) Dennis Bergkamp - not really a striker, more of a forward but he did things with the ball (in his position) that I've still not seen anyone emulate yet
8) Jean Pierre-Papin...i remembered he would be the first striker I'd buy/choose during those early football manager games or any fantasy team
I want to put the fake Ronaldo because even though i dislike him, he deserves his place, but he already has enough attention so I'll discard him. Plus he's not really a striker.
