    Re: manutd best 5 players!~

    Erm.. picking only five is very difficult.. lots of players would be left out.. I'd have to pick 20 to feel like nobody's being left out.. well, I'll give it a shot. I'll pick them based on who I liked best, not just their skills. Giggs Charlton Best Cantona Schmeichel I'm a goalie, so I can't, and won't, leave Schmeichel out. Very inspiring for me! well.. I do feel some got left out :(
    He's won it 11 times
    He's won it 11 times
    That boy Giggsy he's won it 11 times

    Hi garcia.utd. !

    Howzzit !

    I live far away from England and I got interested in English, Scottish and World Football since the early sixties. Not to say I wasn't interested in Eire, Northern Ireland and Wales ! -- No ! -- I was, but there wasn't much that one could listen to, watch on tv or read in newspapers and magazines about those countries. If anyone would talk about Northern Ireland it was mostly because of George Best. John Charles, Mel Charles and Ivor Allchurch would be most talked about from the Welsh sides, but they weren't Manchester United players.

    As much as I've seen George Best in action in many matches, I must admit, just like many million worldwide supporters, I've seen all those matches on television.The same for Denis Law, Bobby Charlton and the others.

    Other than the 55 000 Old Trafford regulars of the 60s' and a handful of others, not many can boast having seen them live in action, except when they played in European or World competitions and going on tour during the holiday break.

    However, if you're big enough you may travel/fly 12 000 kms to go and watch your favourite player in action and that of course if ,you can afford it. But then at that time I was too small and even if I could afford it (which I couldn't) , I wouldn't have been allowed to make such a long trip on my own. 

    I would have preferred to watch the trio of BEST LAW CHARLTON  in action rather than the trio of GIGGS CANTONA RONALDO, as much as I rate Giggs very highly (No reference to which positions/time they played).

    I would have loved to see George Best LIVE in action. Yes !

    Cheers!

    Re: manutd best 5 players!~

     Heres my top 5 playsrs and im going by the impact they had at this club

    1) Eric Cantona - the man was just a genius the leader of the youngsters that were coming through at that time and in my opinion he was the man behind all our early success in the 90s the man practually won those premier league titles for us.

    2) Ryan Giggs - he just keeps on getting better and better like good wine.Many people wrote him off but how he rammed those words back down those peoples mouths still playing to the highest standered and playing consistently.Also the quality service the loyaity that he has given us for all these wonderful years the perfect role model.

    3) Paul Scholes - the same as Giggs again the perfect role model  you never hear a bad world about him like Giggs and is a perfect example of how to live a life as a footballer a true pro.

    4) Roy Keane - our captain fantastic  and our most successful one aswell.Nothing ever got past Keane and his commitment desire will to win was what made him the player he is and he should no shite eirther a true captain.

    5)Peter Schmeichel - the guy as just a beast between the posts nothing got past him and having a world class keeper in goal certainly helps he saved us many points throughout the whole season with is amazing saves is pressence etc i bet he scared the opposition to death when they were one on one with him.In my opinion the greatest keeper of all time.

    I know i have missed out on the likes of Beckham Ronaldo etc but to me these are the best 5 players since i first started supporting Manchester United the best club ever in the history of football.

    I carnt pick the likes of Best Charlton Law Edwards etc as i wasnt alive when they were playing but they are still legends im just going by the players that i think made what we are since ive been alive and first started supporting them.

    My best Manchester United players !

    In position No.1 - GEORGE BEST: For me there can be no better than best. Had it not been for George Best I don't think I would ever have got interested in football the way I have and that from the early sixties. I've watched him play, and I've watched many others,even during the sixties seventies, eigthies nineties and present, but nobody has amazed me the way George Best has. I'm not only talking about Manchester United players but players from all over the world. GENIUS - MAGICIAN - WIZARD.

    From No. 2 to No. 5 - Anybody  from these four: Denis Law, Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Peter Schemeichel.

    Again there can be no better than BEST !

    Re: manutd best 5 players!~

    In no particular order 

    Roy Keane -  With his dedication,leadership quality and never give up attitude he surely is the greatest captain ever... "Never will we see anyone like him in future"

    Peter Schmichael - Certain players demand respect, but Peter Schmeichel was immense. People acclaim Cantona winning united the double in the 95/96 season. WRONG, it was a series of stunning clean sheets by Schmeichel that won United the league. Don't get me wrong, Cantona is a demi god, but Schmeichel was the ultimate player for United proving time and time again that he would lay down and die for the club !

    Duncan Edwards - He died after the Munich crash so the world never got to see him. But Bobby Charlton has always described him as the best player he's ever played with. He's also been described as Roy Keane, Steven Gerrard and Paul Gascoigne rolled into one

    Gary Neville - Like Keano, he embodies the spirit of United

    Geroge Best - "So many great players to choose from. But if he is good enough for Pelé, he is good enough for me.
