Thread: Best player to have never played in a World Cup

Well, the best is Best.



Schuster, Berbatov, Le Tissier, Brady, Rush, Kubala, Cantona, Giggs, Di Stefano, Southall- the best keeper I've ever seen apart from Schmeichel - didn't either.

I saw Bernd Schuster at Old Trafford against United in 1991. My old man took me to the away game against Atletico in Madrid and we got done by 2 late Madrid goals by Paulo Futre.

We were hopeful back at OT, but we couldn't get the ball off him.

Just put the whole MAN City team in and they'll win the lot, wait a minute!
They already have

Well the question has certainly confused Joe.

He even enjoyed his flaws off the field with booze and women!

Oh I don't think he did at the end. Ultimately it was a shame they wasted a good liver on him

Alfredo Di Stefano

not just the best to miss the world cup the best ever IMHO superior to Pele , Messi,Maradona, Mpappe may reach his standard

Given that the reason he never played in one was because he lost to Scotland, you might as well stick Colin Pates in there as well.

You've never had a player in your history who came even close to George Best.

Actually, here's one minus the trophies

Arsenal Legends
