A key player for the Ajax and Netherlands teams of the 70s and later Barcelona, Neeskens is another guy who fits my mold of hard-working and well-rounded. He was a fierce tackler who could press high up the pitch as well as join the attack.
dammit. neeskens WAS my list. fantastic player.
If Buffon had gone before my last pick I was going to take Cannavaro and Nesta as a pair at the turn too.
Not really sure what to say other than that he was a pretty player to watch. Not often you hear that said about a CB. It's a shame he was injured before the 2006 final, though he was an integral part of the team. I always thought he was one of the best at reading the game from central defense, and his athleticism and ball skills were always superb for the position. He was always good for a timely interception. Despite cutting his international career short and retiring after 2006, I always found it telling that the Italian coaches begged him to come back for the 2008 Euros and 2010 Cup. They could've used him. He was an ageless wonder, still featuring regularly for Milan well into his mid-30s. Class player all around.
His wife isn't pretty, or talented enough? http://www.matices.com/img/articles/calz0515_4.jpgSteve Tasker said:
I'm told there were forwards playing the sport before 2000ad.
Seriously... who would you pick in terms of quick and skilled players that share the ball? I'm sure I've missed some, but I wasn't interested in a traditional center forward type.
a couple jump to mind immediately, more would if I start looking around. not going to share until after the draft is done. serious drafter businesstm.
