1. Zinedine Zidane - greatest footballer ever and a hero to France's immigrant masses.

2. Shahbaz Ahmed - greatest field hockey player ever

3. Thierry Henry - another brave son of France and brilliant centre-forward


Hon mentions: Diego Maradona, Murali, Michel Platini, Lionel Messi, Riquelme, Florent Malouda

3. Sam Mitchell.

Mateja Kezman a very, very close competitor for 3rd.

1. Eric Cantona (surprised no ones said him yet. Deserves a mention purely for kicking scummy palace fans)

2. Michael Schumacher

3. Mike Atherton

1. Zinedine Zidane - greatest footballer ever

Nah.

Anyway, for me: Cantona, Schmeichel, Roy Keane.

1 - Wayne Corden, best footballer ever
2 - Nick Heidfeld, tipped him to be bigger than Raikkonen in the Sauber days, hasn't quite worked out.
3 - Allan Donald, just gun as.

 

[Shaggy Alfresco]

1. Brian Lara
2. Robbie Keane
3. Jens Lehmann (and then I woke up)

 

[Sanz]

2. Shahbaz Ahmed - greatest field hockey player ever

With all due respect to Shahbaz Ahmad and his skills, He isn't the greatest Field Hockey Player ever. I would have agreed with you if had said Shahbaz was the greatest you saw in action.

Greatest Field Hockey Player ever was a guy named Major DhyanChand and by quite a distance.
