Where would Cantona sit on your Greatest Players of all time list?

Top 15.

Outstanding player at Old Trafford. He had this aura around him that you could see all the way from the top tier people would say. The game would be moving a million miles an hour and then the ball would move to him and BOOM.... he would slow everything down to his pace. Then he would speed it back up and play a pass that would open up a gap that nobody could see but him.

He was deadly in front of goal, skillful on the ball and arrogant to the extreme - but it was an arrogance that the younger players could hide in when they were scared. United owe him so much.

He would sit on my list right near the very top.

Below Ronaldo, Henry, Zidane, Maradona, and Pele

If he'd had more international success, he'd be very high indeed. But regardless, you can't ignore the impact he had on almost every single game he played in. He was unique and one of the most influential footballers ever. Game winner.

He was a great player kicking the supporters in the crowd, i still could not understand why the authorities did not do more as it was in the crowds that's a public safety issue, but when you have power and money i suppose you can get away with anything!

He was a great player....up there with the best, he was unique in style ... made every pass, touch, goal look so easy and effortless...

shame he retired so early ...

Not Even Close To The Top To Be Honest

Not even top 50 for me sorry not what you would want to here while he was good there were so many better then him

I wouldn't have him in the top 20 thast for sure. He'd creep in somewhere between 35-40...as there have been far too many better footballers before and during his time.

1. Pele - don't need to explain why the king sits at #1.

2. Maradona - Would be 1st but he didnt win as many WC's as Pele did. Also the drugs history...but at his peak, he remains to date the most naturaly gifted footballer ever.

3.Franz Beckenbauer - German football (soccer) player. He is credited with inventing the modern attacking sweeper position. Nicknamed “Der Kaiser,” Beckenbauer is the only man to both captain and manage World Cup-winning teams (1974 and 1990, respectively). He spent most of his career with Bayern Munich, leading the team to three European Cup championships and four national titles. He was named European Footballer of the Year in 1972 and 1976. He is generally regarded as the greatest German footballer of all time and also as one of the greatest footballers in the history of the game.

4. Johan Cruyff - Cruyff is a former Dutch football player and manager/coach. He was named European Footballer of the Year three times. In 1999, Cruyff was voted European Player of the Century in an election held by the IFFHS, and came second, behind Pelé in their World Player of the Century poll. Cruyff was known for his technical ability, speed and acceleration, but his greatest quality was vision, based on an acute sense of his team-mates’ positions as an attack unfolded. He is believed Cruyff superior to any previous player in his ability to extract the most from others.

5. Best - Wizard and Genius are just two of the words legends of his era used to describe the man nicknamed 'the fifth beatle', was part of United's famous 1968 European Cup winning team that beat a Benfica side that included Eusbio.

An international superstar, Ronaldo has been on the Brazilian national team since 1994 and was part of World Cup–winning teams in 1998 and in 2002, when he was the tournament’s top scorer

8. Michael Platini - Platini was a member of the French national team that won the 1984 European Championship, a tournament in which he was voted the best player and top goalscorer.
