Most elegant players of all time
Yesterday, I saw a video of Michel Platini & I thought, now this is how football should be played! Also to mention, the likes of Beckenbauer who made the job of defender look like a beautiful one. There was Zico, Rui Costa from the recent times.......... Which players do you think wer/are the most elegant, graceful ones the game has seen?

I'll give it 10-15 posts before this turns into the best players in the world thread.

Didn't know such a thread exists, anyway some threads do & should get repeated.
And, Platini was more elegant than Zidane.

Redondo comes to mind.
Also Le Tissier even though his slouching posture was anything but elegant.
INTER - QUE UN CLUB
Nacka's bad list:
Muntari!  (reason: lack of footballing skills)
Nike (reason: they're an evil corporation with sub-standard designers)

Cygan was elegant too. He was one of the main attractions for the neutrals with his bald head and so calm and classy way of making mistakes.
Zidane: The French Fabregas |

Seriously, my first touch is better than Zidanes, his bald spot helps him stand out though. Maybe I'll shave off a patch.

Zinedine Zidane is the most elegant player I've ever watched.

Cruyff was more elegant than Zidane, he was elegant even moving at 45mph.

Also to add, Michael Laudrup, Geroge Best & Karl-Heinz-Rumennige.
I can't believe Redondo has been mentioned so many times, but none of the above has been.

It's like I don't even want to think of anyone else, because it would just tarnish the list.
Zidane stands alone, I won't taint it by putting someone else next to him.
