So if you could have .......

[Numquam Moribimur]

So if you could have Dinner with any 5 Footballers dead or alive who would they be and why ?

1 Sir Matt Busby- bc i am sure he has some great stories about his teams
2 OGS- He's my fav footballer of all time and to spend time with him would just be a honor
3 Cantona - BC who would not want to spend time with the King
4 Keano- would want to find out the real reason why he left UNITED
5Robbie Smackhead Fowler- Would spend about 1.2 seconds pretending that i liked him then i would fly across the table and kick the living ******** out of him:D

Good idea for a thread :)

(in no particular order)

* Cantona - for obvious reasons
* Pele - a hero of mine
* Maradona - I think "Dinner with Diego" has a Hollywood ring to it
* Keane - I have so many questions...
* Beckham - I'd love to hear the details of what it's like to play on the two best teams in history, being a pop star, and the details on his exit from MU

[johno]

Great thread idea...

Russel Latapy - my first football hero.
Ruud van Nistelrooy - on of my fav. players
2OLEGEND - an inspiration...
Paolo Maldini - Living legend
Keane - Living legend

[StrikerCW]

King Eric.
Keano.
Pelé.
Best. (got to be some interesting stories)
Eusebio. (everyone has heard of the man, but who really knows what hes really about?????)

[Motterman]

1. Best
2. Charlton
3. Law
4. Busby
5. Edwards

Give them 1 night together as they were in their prime, and just watch them talk/interact and work out differences, talk football, swap stories, etc.

[MtP07]

1. 20LEGEND
2. Keano
3. Bestie
4. Wazza
5. Vieira - I would love to cuss him like a dog just like Keano and watch him run away.

5. Vieira - I would love to cuss him like a dog just like Keano and watch him run away.Invisible rep for that lol

[jayro75]

Gazza ( Gascoigne)- Talk about an interesting dinner convo..
Maradona- See above plus you know you're going to eat well with that ex blimp.
Bestie- Hopefully I could shag his leftovers..:cool:
Becks- I could pull some wicked ass by association :D
Mourinho- Don't know if he counts but it would get me in range to bash him over the head with a botlle of Port for being such a smug twat..

[SirManchester]

1. Beckenbauer - he's the kaiser of football, the amalgam of class and intelligence rolled into one
2. Cantona - My first football idol and the reason for supporting United, also an inspiration to my game, I could talk philosphy with him and I could paint with him too.
3. George Best - he can probably hook me up with a couple Miss Worlds
4. Beckham - also one of the players I began supporting United and I actually learned a lot about playing the game by watching him.
5. Del Piero/Zidane - two other players I grew up admiring and that inspired me.

[Vermont Red]

1. Rio
2. Rooney
3. Rossi
4. Ronaldo
5. Ruud

The axis for the EPL championship team 2006-07.

You've gotta be kidding me man

[prymetyme]

Cantona, Keano, Rooney, SAF (if he counts) and probably someone like Henry or Vierra so I could beat the shite out of them

[gazza]

1) Pele
2) Maradona
3) Roberto Baggio
4) George Best
5) David Beckham

Partiers and rock stars, and of course 2 of the worst penalty misses ever.

Strange, but true. There was just no room for Fletcher.

[SirManchester]

Strange, but true. There was just no room for Fletcher.

I'm stunned that you didn't include the likes of Carragher and Gerrard or Effenberg, Basler, Mattheus, or Klinsman.

[Rakim_22]

Well mine would have to be:
Kluivert- grew up idolizing him
Dwight Yorke- hes from Trinidad :cool:
Edgar Davids- the definition of playing with heart
van Nistelrooy- the flying Dutchman himself
Rooney- the next best thing

[billyireland]

George Best
Eric Cantona
Gary Kelly
Roy Keane
Patrick Viera, for the 'pin the knuckles on the scumbag' competition to be taken between drinks.
