That's the half way stage, the big guns to come in the second half.

Time for a break. Back soon.

there can be no top 5 without Johan Cruyff in it. He was a wonder player

No Ruud Gullitt. I'm stunned. Stunned. Keegan was a better player than Gullitt. I have no words.

European championship with Holland, three European cups with Milan./ And he was probably the most high profile member of that team. He's got to be on anyone list.

Keegan is better than Gullit in no world that exists.

Ruud had a couple or three years at the top, but World Cup 90 he did nothing, then left Milan for Sampdoria. He was never the best player in the World, not when the likes of Maradona, Matthaus and Van Basten were around.

I did consider him, but he didn't make the cut.

He had more than a couple of years at the top. This was at the time when Berlusconi was President of Milan and the turnover of players was ridiculous. Do you remember they bought Jean Pierre Papin and he was European top scorer when they bought him and then they didnt play him. There was much speculation that Milan were buying players just so other teams couldnt get them. That Milan team was a dominant a team as I've ever seen and Gullit was a big part of that dominance. I'd even go as for as to possibly include Roberto Donadoni if I was to make a list like this cuz he too was incredible in that team.

I was a big fan of that team. Can you tell.
