We had probably our best ever Player of the Year Dance last week. You elected Dennis Wise as Player of the Year. Dennis accepted his award mimicking Vialli, whereupon Zola shouted 'Speak English', Dennis switched to his normal Cockney voice only for Zola to shout 'You're still not speaking English'.

Ken Bates

The best player I ever played against is Thierry Henry. He was something else; i've played against Rooney and Ronaldo and players like that but i think he was the best player ever to play in the Premier League

Jamie Carragher

When people ask me the best player I played with, I always say Dennis Bergkamp. He just had so much class.

Robert Pires

I have played against (Michel) Platini, (Diego) Maradona, (Johan) Cruyff and played with George Best — a lot of big names, but none of them has been able to do what Messi does. Two years ago I said that the best player I played against was Maradona and the best player I have played with was Bestie. But I can now say I have never seen a player as good as Messi. He’s in a league of his own.

John Terry

I think the greatest player I've ever played against was Magic Johnson. Next, was Larry Bird. Then, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

John Salley

Nadal's the best player in history on [clay], and he is one of the best-ever players that played this game.

Novak Djokovic

Magic Johnson is the best player who plays on the ground, and Michael Jordan is the best player who plays in the air.

John Paxson

This Guy (Messi) is the Best Player in the World, no doubt about that. I think we're always nervous about calling people who are currently playing, who are young at 23, to say he's the Best Player ever. But we shouldn't be. We should admit what we are seeing in front of our eyes. This is a special talent, who may be is the Best Player ever been seen.

Gary Neville

Steven Gerrard is the best player I've ever played with.

Luis Suarez

Maradona was absolutely the best player I ever played with.

Mario Kempes

The best player I have ever played with? That's Ronaldo, il Fenomeno.

Kaka

I expect myself to be the best player I can be. I really believe I can be one of the best who's ever played. That's how hard I work. That's going to be my mindset no matter where I am or what I'm doing.
