Well, on the right you have to rate Stanley Matthews on the short list. Gento rates high on the left. Garrincha , probably the best of all, really. Jairzinho played out on the wing so you have to throw him into the mix.

I loved watching Bruno Conti-a classic winger.

Today... guys like Robben, Giggs, Duff and Nedved (although not a trad. winger thats where he starts) need to be mentioned on the left...

On the right, players like Beckham, Figo, Deisler fit the bill.

Type "Jinky Johnstone" into a search engine and meet one of the best right wingers of all time IMO.

Coincidentally enough there is a thread about him on the scotland board at the mo with video evidence.
