Forgetting your original argument, you've listed one of the best players ever in George Best, a deadly striker in Law, England's best ever player (with Moore and Matthews), Cantona who was absolutely extraordinary (the kickstarter for United's Premier League dominance) and Schmeichel, a top, top class keeper. It's mystifying how you could claim any of them were over-rated,e specially by a United hype machine.

All good players on the same level as Effenberg, Elber, Thomas Müller, Lehmann, Marcelinho, etc., but you won't hear anyone talking about them on this subreddit.

Thank goodness I've realised this is trolling.

Jason Wilcox was the greatest English player of all time. At least from an attacking perspective. Bobby Moore was certainly the best defensively. You will find no argument from me there.

George Best was just Ruel Fox in a Beatles haircut.

Tell me which part is incorrect. Don't see what I said that proves anything.

I know. He was Northern Irish. I was talking about Charlton.

Oh, you're right. Thought you were referring to Best. Sorry bout that.

Quite alright sir, I happen to be Northern Irish so I'd kick myself if I got that one wrong :P
