    Plenty of you have offered up your top ten, what about this. I mean a player that you simply enjoyed watching, that entertained you, ideally that brought something a wee bit different to the game. I know we all loved watching Henke but I am looking for something different. I'm not after great names that have won everything but players that were a bit different.

    I'll start with one

    Faustino Asprilla

    Crazy, unpredictable, tried things that nobody else would have thought of

    I've always been keen to find out his goals/games ratio against Rangers. He scored a lot.

    Di Canio was great. Naka's great to watch as well.

    gd one RT! what a player! some of the goals hes scored, chips etc dear lord.

    Amoroso for me, south america player of the year in 96 or 97 I think, was touted to be amazing - injuries held him back though, played for udinese, parma and then dortmund.

    what a player, I used to watch him on saturday mornings on football italia - back when the serie A was kinda enjoyable. Loved that show.

    I also loved watching crespo in his parma days.
