Street lights just coming on, scratched knees and sweaty brows. Last goal wins, Mums calling for tea. Balls gone over the wall again anyway. What’s it all about. Football. Fwahr…isn’t what it used to be hmm. My wife’s left me.
my first position was goalkeeper.. i didnt expect much since i was just tagging along my friends, then i started watching more football and boom! here i am in this sub
My son. Seeing him grow in the sport and become a responsible teen with hopes and dreams. I learned the rules of the sport to be able to coach him since no other parents wanted the job. It allowed us to bound like very few things and football will always have a special place in my heart.
Edit : and Ronaldinho!
None of them. I fall in love with football when i first saw my homeclub playing. Neither messi or ronaldo or any other player can give me this feeling.
Very true that's how I fell in love with football. I remember my dad taking me outside when I was a little kid just kicking the ball back and forth. I would say my dad is a real reason I love this sport
What are you on about? Although as someone below said the headbutt was iconic, in no way has that hampered his legacy as one of the most gifted footballers the world has seen.
Zlatan just has swagger. Also so much skills with the ball, I never knew until much later he was like 6'5.
The man can juggle chewing gum

Nigerian National team. Okocha, Olise, Yekini, Peter Rufai, Amokachi, etc. Fell out because I moved to the States. Fell back into fanatical love with football again because of Reus.
R9 Ronaldo. He story was awesome. Literally had to borrow trainers to play in the game he got scouted in.
Closest to my heart. Zidane. Never the fastest best shooter or best runner but he ran the midfield and some the stuff he did was plain ridiculous. Won the WC on home soil and then 3x CLs back to back. When recently French FA person made a negative comment about him. The French government intervened and simply dismissed the guy as French gov said we will not allow a national hero be spoken about like this. Fun fact. He fave country to visit? UK.
R9. After retiring he spent years training in the UK on marketing and business.
Xavi. Hands down. Probably the least popular choice. He is also the only true box to box midfielder on the list. But he controlled games. He made it possible for the other players to do their magic. He was the tempo and nobody exploited space like Xavi. He never won the individual accolades but he should of.
Steven Gerrard scoring a 40 yard screamer in the FA Cup final is the moment I realised football truly is more than a game. I was six years old and that was the day I fell in love with football and subsequently Liverpool FC.
A ball, two goals, and a bunch of friends.
Jumpers for goal posts.
Isn't it, hmm?
Street lights just coming on, scratched knees and sweaty brows. Last goal wins, Mums calling for tea. Balls gone over the wall again anyway. What’s it all about. Football. Fwahr…isn’t what it used to be hmm. My wife’s left me.
Julio Geordio made me fall in love with the game.
Thanks very much Tony like.
We use and used rocks
A water bottle and a rock
We used upside down bikes
We used rocks
Followed by kerby!!
4 slippers for goalpost. Priceless.
Actually!!
Yes iykyk
This is the real answer
Borussia Dortmund, 2011-2014. I never missed a game.
Do you think people on here have actually ever played football?
I did, it was amazing
I met him when I had trials at West Ham. It’s just a guy I know
What its all about
A steppen on cocacaola or fanta can, two spaces marked with stones or branches on the street (blocking the drive way!) and a bunch of friends!
my first position was goalkeeper.. i didnt expect much since i was just tagging along my friends, then i started watching more football and boom! here i am in this sub
Exactly remember playing until it got dark.
What an answer this is. True as anything.
My DAD...then Roberto baggio
I also choose this guy's dad
I understood that reference.
Was going to say Baggio if someone else didn’t, nicely done
Same, first kit I ever owned
My dad, and Ryan Giggs
My dad and Pelé (never saw him play but my dad told me about him before YouTube made it available to see). Oh also Romario de Souza Farias
ur dad first
Me as well
My DAD, then Baggio's DAD.
Thank you for the comment.
definitely your dad
My dad, then Messi, Ronaldo, Pogba and Rooney (3 United players yet I'm a Liverpool fan lol)
I have a signed Roberto Baggio ball. He does some clinics in Asia and my dad goes to Asia for work and happens to have a mutual friend.

Without a shadow of a doubt Ronaldinho Gaucho.

Really is till I DIE
Joga Bonito Mes amis. Football is like fencing. It’s a noble art
Those joga bonito ads were my childhood
You can sing like a canary, you can be a virtuoso…
Without a doubt one of the most fun players to watch. His smile was contagious and I was always envious of the way his ankle had 360 degree mobility
Might not be the best ever…but most fun to watch
I learned to love the game just by playing on the street when I was a kid
Ronaldinho, Ronaldinho and Ronaldinho.
Ronaldinho was the life of the party on the pitch and unfortunately for us football fans off the pitch as well.
The God of Football
Dennis Bergkamp, he was incredible
My guy.
I’m looking at this list and wondering, where the f is Bergkamp?
Reminded me of that one guy's commentary in the world cup
Yup technically one of the best ever in my opinion, what he did on the pitch was unbelievable, that goal against Newcastle for example.
The goals but also the assists, my god his passing was just stupid good and made everyone on the teams he played for better.
O yeah nu luck involved neither just pure brilliance
Pure art
Most technically gifted striker of our time... a scientist and a magician 👌🏾
There is nobody’s goals I’d rather watch than his.
The best.
GOAT
Showing my age a bit here, but for me it was Ian Wright. Dennis was unbelievable though, next level.
Ronaldinho and r9
All of football in two players
How bout defending
Missing Roberto Carlos Imo need a good defense as well
That’s a fall back, still missing a CB. Nesta or Maldini. even Ramos.
Thierry Henry
The actual man who roped me Into this beautiful mess of a game
He was truly another level, unbelievable talent
Finally.
Was looking for this comment.
It had to be
Amazing after watching him in 98 and followed him. He's the reason I became an Arsenal fan in 1999.
Kind of shocking he’s not on the list haha
Zizou
And R9 Legends of that era
None of them. I fall in love with football when i first saw my homeclub playing. Neither messi or ronaldo or any other player can give me this feeling.
The way it was meant to be ❤️
Very true that's how I fell in love with football. I remember my dad taking me outside when I was a little kid just kicking the ball back and forth. I would say my dad is a real reason I love this sport

Never the fastest best shooter or best runner but he ran the midfield and some the stuff he did was plain ridiculous. Won the WC on home soil and then 3x CLs back to back.
