Jimmy Johnstone of Celtic was better than George Best of Manchester Utd.Agree or Disagree?

No as good as Jimmy Johnstone was, there was only one Best.\nEven "Pele" acknowledged this.\nBest could play with both feet.\nHe could head and tackle.\nHe was a winger but scored as many goals as a centre forward.\n\nFinally in 1967, United beat West Ham 6 v 1, away.\nThe West Ham team consisted of Moore, Hurst and Peters.\n(all 3 World Cup winners, 1 year before)

Cannavaro is noteven the best defender. Before the WC people were only talking about the John terry's n Puyols. No doubt Cannavaro is a fantastic player, a champion indeed, but seeing only the WC is not fair, Cannavaro is not the undisputed best defender however, Henry is the best forward player undisputed, with Eto'o 2nd best. People have a habit of voting for players who always win things n not see those who have been individually brilliant.Remember Henry has taken Arsenal to the UEFA finals n France to the WC finals, both teams wouldnt have reached where they reached without Henry.

It depends what you class as success. Someone like Alan Curbishley or Martin O'Neill has the power to win over fans and remain loyal, but Alex Ferguson or Paisley are clearly the big "winners". I'd have to say I'm a big fan of Bobby Robson personally. The nicest man in football.

What has the size of the crowd got to do with the quality of the football? Scottish football was in a much better state in the 70's than it is now or has been for many years. I saw Celtic play Leeds Utd in the European Cup at Hampden around 1971 and there was a crowd of around 130,000 but those teams were much better than some of the rubbish that is dished up today.

I would say at this point, only Henry is better.  Of course if you went back in time, you could find better players, but right now, Henry might be better.  And I think he is only better because he is generally more productive.  As far as on ball skills there is no one better than Ronaldhino.  And there is no one more exciting to watch in football right now.  The two links below are very fun for football fans.  One is a link to nike football site that has all the short commercials with Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Henry.  Very fun clips.  The other one is a comparison between Ronaldinho and Zidane.  Zidane just a few years ago was the equal of Ronaldinho now.  But now his skills have diminished with age, though he's still incredible.

Alex Ferguson was my boyhood hero. Aged 19 on a foggy winter day in Govan Dec '62 he took on Rangers at Ibrox, single handed..scored a hat-trick for St. Johnstone..could've had five!\nWho could forget the days of Law, Best and Charlton. Even the Scots admired and respected Bobby when he played us at Hampden. George Best, coming back after a week on the p**s, scoring six against Northhampton...Big Peter saving a penalty against Arsenal in the cup in the last minute, then Giggs running the length of the field, beating ten men to score the winner..the last minute never say die goals in injury time to lift the champions league trophy..this is the stuff legends are made of..you could not make it up!\nCannot understand why MUFC are so hated down south..maybe just envy?

NO..\n\nBUT.. \n\nHE IS A BETTER PLAYER.\n\nCURRENT WINDIES TOUR WILL PROVE HIM WEATHER HE IS BEST OR NOT.

This answer is not permanent because both teams go out every season to outdo the other. As for this season, Celtic have clearly been the better side but last season it was Rangers.

Sven Goran Eriksson is the only "best manager" for England ever. With the selection of Steve McClaren, the English FA have taken 2 steps forward, one step backward. God Save England because no Englishman ever will. Football in the late Sir Alf Ramsey's time was altogether different from now. Look at the EPL's Top 5 managers: Portuguese, Scottish, Spanish, French, Dutch. English managers are nearly-men - their footballing vision, strategy and knowhow expires after each 90-minute game. The only British capable of leading England is Sir Alex Ferguson. And he's a Braveheart... lol

Another Gerrard , Lampard debate.\nLampard has very good tackels and has more physical strength than Gerrard, he has better positioning sometimes, Gerrard has better long passes, more determination, better free-kicks and more pace, i think they will both balance, they have some different styles and characteristics, so its really hard to tell whos is better, but personaly i like Gerrard more because he is palying in a more humble team that manage to get great results without spending huge funds of money, and is being a great inspiring captain to his team

agree !!! rio ferdinand for me....he is nothing compared to his price tag and glamour...\n\ncarragher and terry is much much better than him...agger, dawson or maybe campbell are also good value for money.\n\nanother overated player for me is carrick....he is ok but no better than joey barton or nolan.

Liverpool probably the best overall.Tottenham can be great too,especially for mid-week cup/european games!\n\nof the smaller clubs portsmouth and reading very good.\n\nworst have to be old trafford considering the size of the place and the fact that Alex Ferguson has to keep moaning at his own fans for not singing enough(i've never known any other manager who has had to do that!)And perhaps the Man U fans should make up their own song instead of continually using a Tottenham song!\n\nAlso Chelsea is a terrible atmos.Wigan fans need to start getting behind there team as well,their crowds are embarrassingly small for a club that has done so well over the last couple of years!
