If I was to put together a Team based on who I've seen it would probably be the below (In regards to Lewandowski I saw him play against England for Poland when we made qualification for the 2014 World Cup).
I've included Richard Rufus in there because I do think he was a class Centre-Back who would have done great things had he not been a Charlton player, and Campbell because I remember whenever we played Arsenal at the Valley was just this brick that couldnt be moved
Peter Schmeichel Gary Neville .. Richard Rufus .. Sol Campbell .. Ashley Cole David Beckham .. Paul Scholes .. Patrick Vieira ... Cristiano Ronaldo Robert Lewandowski ... Thierry Henry
If we are talking about players that we have watched at any ground, then I'd say that a match I was at that had Zinedine Zidane, (original before he was fat) Ronaldo, Romario, Roberto Baggio, and Paolo Maldini, offers a very hard decision for me to make.
Regarding players I've seen against us at the Valley, then Christiano Ronaldo.
Best player I've seen playing for us is Paolo di Canio. Beautiful technique and vision.
Georgie Best (my all time football hero), Bobby Moore, when they played for Fulham, Rodney March played as well.
Agree Bobby Moore. I remember he had our Eddie Firmani in his pocket in that cup game 63/64. Did not even get his shorts dirty. Not many defenders kept Eddie quiet.
Duncan Edwards Wilf Mannion Len Shacklton George Best Denis Law Bobby Moore Henry Bergkamp Zola
Now THAT'S a list! No Billy Wright, Starinnaddick?
I too saw Moore, Best and Marsh play for Fulham. Also Rumenigge and Matthaus for West Germany. And players like Keegan, Rush, Hoddle, Lineker, Robson, Gascoigne, Shilton etc
Went to The Football League vs The Rest of the World at Wembley 1987.
Maradona took the absolute piss and was roundly booed after the recent hand of God.
Some unbelievable players in their prime playing that day Lineker, Robson, Platini, Shilton, Brady, Beardsley, waddle, berthold, josimar, stojkovic..and Steve Ogrizovic.
It was the first proper game I ever went to so was proper lucky. It somewhat skewed my expectations though and the next game I went to was a Charlton one bringing me crashing back down to reality.
In more recent times Bergkamp, Di Canio, Giggs, Ronaldo, Junhinio, Zola and Henry were all pretty special. And Jonathan Spector.
Barnes for Liverpool in my first Charlton game was great too.
