Most impressive bit if skill

There’s been some great displays of skill over the years from various players, Ronaldinho was one player that was off the charts.
Here’s a clip of some magic by Ronaldinho.

Five minutes of Oscar Bobb
Take your pick.
I particularly like the pass at about the 3 minute mark that took out about four players - the bloke's got immense talent.

Di Canio V Wimbledon but I also recall him a similar one against Derby at Upton park around the same time.
Seeing Stuart Slater tear Martin Known apart in the fa cup quarter final also sticks in the mind as does some of the stuff Payet did.

Di Canio’s goal v Wimbledon is easily the best goal I’ve witnessed in person. Payet also did some amazing things.
Non-West Ham, that Ronaldinho goal v Chelsea when he poked it through an ete of a needle with no back lift was a WTF moment. Being against the rent boys made it even better.

I can remember a game against Tottenham when Johnny Byrne hit a long crossfield ball to Peter Brabrook. Unfortunately it was slightly behind him but he managed to catch it on the volley with his heel and flip it over his head and follow it along the wing and cross it to another West Ham player. It didn't result in a goal but it was a spectacular piece of skill.

There are so many to choose from by the likes of Maradona (greatest ever player), Pele, Zidane, Ronaldinho, Cruyff, Bergkamp etc. And from "our" lot we have a wealth of stuff by Di Canio, Payet, Brooking etc.
But, while it's not my favourite bit of skill, this at 1.10 mins into this link has always stuck in my mind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftu3OFoSAVs
It's Michael Laudrup completely mesmerising a defender to the point where he doesn't even touch the ball in order to go past him. It's "just" a body feint and the defender goes in completely the wrong direction. At no point during the move does Laudrup even touch the ball.
The look of utter humiliation and despair on the defender's face - he just looks to the skies and gives up the chase - is superb. That's how you "own" an opponent.

Two Goals Di Canio scored, the Wimbledon one obviously and the one he scored at Stamford bridge 2002 . He received the ball from a Schemmel throw in flicked it up on his right foot to his left and smacked it past Cudicini. The keeper is still looking for the ball to this day I think.

Patsy Holland juggling the ball down the entire length of wing at Upton Park, 1970s, can't remember who we were playing.

Maradona warming up.
Lineker mentions what the camera didn't pick up was a part where he was booting the ball up in the air as hard as he could over and over without having to move, something he has never seen before or since

Some of payet's skills were pretty impressive. That goal against Middlesbrough being notable. Dicanio obviously.
But I'd like to mention that bit of skill from kudus v arsenal in the cup where he controlled that 50 yard pass.on a backheel before scoring. I didnt even clock it was on the backheel till I saw thr highlights on the train home

Skill is also about the stakes on the occasion - that Tevez goal at Old Trafford in the Great Escape season for example.
