1.i was having a hard time thinking about the worlds greatest wings of all time, was wondering if everyone would help compile a list, and make sure and distinguish left and right(hard time of thinking of anyone on the right besides figo). 2. best wingers today
Overmars, Robben on the left, Vd Meijde, John van 't Schip, Dennis Bergkamp on the right (yes, Dennis Bergkamp started his career on the right wing for Ajax)
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. https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=105225
