Rarely gets mentioned I think as one of the true greats of the modern era but his record is simply phenomenal. He overtook Di Stefano by scoring his 308th and 309th goal last night.
What a goalscorer.

Chris Dickson or maybe Izale Mcleod?
Rooney was signed from Everton. Del Piero too (not from Everton obviously, but someplace - Padova or Treviso I think)
Didn't we have the chance but Dowie and Andrew Mills decided to buy Traore and Amdy Faye instead?
Raul has always been overrated. He is a good player, but nothing like a 'great' player. He had the fortune to play in a Real team that, for six or seven years, surrounded him with the greatest amount of talent ever assembled on a football pitch - an rotated these players as they fell out of their prime. The reason he's scored all the goals he has is because he was the one player that was a constant in all that time - if any decent striker played at Real for ten years surrounded by all that talent he'd have scored that amount of goals as well.
There are plenty of stories about Raul and what a wanker he really is underneath all the 'good guy' image. Anyone who follows golf will be well aware of the same sort of feeling towards Phil Mickelson - his fans love him, the press rave about him, but fellow golfers and anyone who knows him personally tell a different story. The real reason Raul wasn't taken to Euro 2008 is that there are at least five integral squad members who refuse to even acknowledge his presence.
A 'great' player has to be a decent human being as well - Raul fails at this - epic fails.
