Most graceful player you've seen play
Comments

When he wasn’t kicking people, Graham Souness could glide with the best of them. Gerrard too was pretty graceful. Tommy Burns and Paul McStay when I was a boy were easy on the eye too0
-
AC Milian had a few:
Pirlo
and before him Demetrio Albertini
and before him Carlo Ancelotti1 -
David Gower.2

Fair play mate for being able to name a couple of Gooners. I'm too one eyed to be able to say any Palace or Millwall players. Mind you I only had to consider Geoff Thomas and Terry Hurlock and they were fairly easy to rule out in terms of grace.JohnBoyUK said:Graceful? hmmm let me see.
Spurs...(in no particular order)
Hoddle
Ginola
Modric
Berbatov
Elsewhere...(in no particular order)
Bergkamp
Pirlo
Zidane
Henry
Iniesta1 -
Neil Heaney1

I think Terry Hurlock should join him on the list.No.1 in South London said:Brian Kilcline
He oozed charm and grace especially when he had his hands around an opposition player's throat.2 -

From the past I'd agree with Brooking, Hoddle and Moore and add Colin Bell.
More up to date, Cristiano Ronaldo seems to occupy his own personal space, visiting the mere mortals only to bang the ball into the net. A lot.

Brian Tocknell way back in the 60ies followed by Eddie Firmani as a close second!

For Charlton Eddie Firmani, as a footballer Martin Peters.0

His real name was Fat Ronaldo.ValleyGary said:Ronaldo Luís Nazário de Lima1 -
There have been loads, but a blast from the past who was sometimes balletic yet deadly was Eddie Firmani.2

when he first played for Brazil he was called Ronaldinho as there was another Ronaldo in the team.Dazzler21 said:

Thought of Henry when I saw thread title.
I remember him at the Valley one time covering the 18yard box in what appeared like 2 fluid steps.
Very special player.1 -

Can't dispute that for 1 minute last night!CharltonByBlood said:Naby Sarr1 -
Very underrated rated player if that makes sense. Was phenomenal in the 90s. Real shame about France 98 finalValleyGary said:0 -
Maybe. But he would be in most peoples top 5/10 of all time - and probably top 3 for out and out strikers. He is certainly the best striker I have ever seen.RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

After his knee exploded playing for Inter, a specialist told him he’d never play again. He came back and won the Golden Boot. The bloke is the greatest player to ever put on a pair of boots (although his stats through injuries suggest otherwise compared to Messi etc).RodneyCharltonTrotta said:

Would put Maradona above him but definitely up there. Also absolutely loved Van Basten...another superb striker whose knee injuries hindered him.ValleyGary said:
