I saw Zidane play for Rael Madrid in a friendly against Beckhams L A Galaxy. He stood out amongst a group of all stars.
In a competitive top flight match I’d have to say Liam Brady,
Best West Ham player was Trevor Brooking, although I always enjoyed watching Billy Bonds.
who stood out to you on the terraces.

The players who impressed me the most seeing them live were Roy McFarland for Derby, Willie Carr for Coventry and Pop Robson for Newcastle.
Obviously I was over the moon when Pop joined us.

Zico.
i had the pleasure of trying to mark him.
I wasn't that good!
Seriously, you lucky bugger, my all time favourite foreign player. Was just something about the way he played, especially in that Brazil team of 82, they were just set up to entertain.
Was lucky enough to see Martin Peters in my first ever game, although he was playing for Norwich at Carrow Road in a 2-2 draw against us back in either 76 or 77. For pure skill, I can't really seperate Sir Trev and Alan Dev, and for endeavor and the total all round player it would be Bonzo.
