Great players

I have seen play. Off the top of my head, IamMe brought it up below so I thought I'd have a shot.
Pre Munich. Liam Whelan, Tommy Taylor, Duncan.
1960s Law, Charlton, Best.
SAF years. Robbo, Denis Irwin, Peter Schmeichel, RVP, RVN,
Scholes, Giggs, Rio, Rooney.

Not sure, Roy Keane probably , Berbatov, VDS, Evra.

I'm sure I've missed someone, but I thought those in the great list were really great.

Ronaldo, was he great for us? Maybe in his last season or two, so I'll include him.

He was here for six seasons (in his first stint) and great for three of them. Those were three of the best seasons from any PL player and all ended with a title. I'd say he was great for us.

And a CL, ballon d’or

without stretching my mighty brain (or memory) too far, and in no particular order or choice of 'side', my 11 v 11 would be:

Schmeichel

Parker
Vidic
Stam
Evra

Best
Charlton
Rooney
Giggs

RvN
Kidd


EvdS

Neville
Rio
Stiles
Irwin

Coppell
Scholes
Keane
Ronaldo

Hughes
Law


when you consider that misses out the likes of Cantona, Whiteside, Stepney, Heinze, Buchan, Sadler, Macari, Pallister, Robson, Wilkins etc., (and oodles of others) that would walk into the starting line-ups of the club's closest rivals, it can be better understood why United have been the most entertaining team of the past 55 years I've followed them - just not so much in the past 10 ....

Good list. Of course I don't agree with all, but that's the fun of it, everyone has a slightly different view.
