It pains me that Dwight Yorke was forced to change his natural game when he went to England. Had he gone Italy or anywhere else allyuh woulda see dribbler.
That boy was sickkkk !!!!

Sombody talk bout turning up a man on the line with no space......I see Dwight do that to a Trintoc man in Shaw Park down bu the corner flag, when we was still going school....notice I didn't use no school boy opposition as a reference.

...AND HE WOULDNA SEEN NO TREBLE

Actually I belive that he would have reached super stardom earlier in his life.

I eh know about best in history, but any of allyuh ever see Gio Kinkladze? Talk about dribble & simply have man backing. I use to watch Man City just to watch he.

Pele, Garrincha and Best have to get credit for being so much better than defenders at the time. But yuh also have to consider how primitive defending was back then.

In Ronaldo's time defending had evolved and become much smarter than in the 60s and 70s.
This man went to Serie A when it was known for having great defending, and utterly destroyed them.

Nobody better than Ronaldo, none.

Yeah, the fatman had some real skills. I eh know why he seems to have become the forgotten man amidst all the Messi hype, although Messi is ah boss in his own right.

Speaking of fatman, he looking fitter these days (sorry to have gone off topic a bit)

This thread too haphazard. Lehwe establish criteria.

I'll start.

To be eligible, the player must have exhibited the ability to dribble multiple players arising from the same continuous movement (whether consecutively, sequentially, simultaneously, repeatedly etc.) No one-one dribble will be accepted.

Why? Because the mano a mano 1 v 1, is par fuh de course in football. Yeah, occasionally we'll see some exceptional 1 v 1 work, buh when yuh consider that excellent dribblers attract multiple markers, I think iz time to separate the men from the boys.

Ronaldo = in by that criterion. George Best = in by that criterion. Who else? Produce yuh video evidence.

Criterion #3:

The dribbling must be appropriate? effective? achieve something? something so
