Prefer Cruyff myself (not Jordi) took Holland from a second rate footballing nation to the best team on the planet, and then there was 3 times Euro winners Ajax.

A great, great shout. I think Holland were all part timers when he started at Ajax in the 60's.
I was heart-broken when they lost against Germany in 1974.

He'd be 2nd on my list ahead of Pele, as he changed the way the game was played.

And then there was Puskas, way before my time but I have seen some clips, he looked brilliant and then Garincha , I met him when I was a young lad, lovely guy and a great player, I was quite upset when he died in poverty.

You met Garincha.

Wow - how come?

He's only 24, so I doubt he's peaked. A very objectionable young man, but an incredibly good player.

Fergie's only selling him because the lad wants out. He might use the cash to brings in Ribery as a replacement: good, but not as good as tippy toes.

I reckon Man U could struggle a bit next season.

I disagree, i think it is another master stroke by fergie, he isn't the player he was last season. I think his departure will remove the shackles from rooney who is a much better player in my opinion and we will see the team get stronger. If i was fergie i would offer £80 million for messi, a more head strong player in my opinion and someone who would realise how lucky he was playing for manchester united, ronaldo will be the forgotten star.

Thanks for the links

So you choose Bob Paisly who won 5 titles abroad, very commendable
Sir Alex has won 6

Sir Alex has won : -

Winners
World Club Cup 2008
Champions Leage 2008
Champions Leage 1999
Intercontinental Cup 1999
Super Cup 1991
Super Cup 1984

Runners Up
Champions League 2009
Super Cup 2008
Super Cup 1999

I am not doubting that Bob Paisley achieved a great amount of tropheys in a short period. Part of that will do with a time and a place.
However you cannot deny that Sir Alex has won more tropheys abroad.

as they say at Lotto central, you've got to be in it to win it and Sir Alex has won more.

The "Super Cup"??? Whoop-di-do.

If you were comparing domestic success would you count charity shields?

They are still tropheys and a record of achievement

If your comparing domestic success, why count the League Cup

Oops, I missed out the Cup Winners Cup he won in 1983 and in 1991, so he has won 8 tropheys abroad

There was someone on the boards claiming that Liverpool won the World club championship in 1986 (I think) it was some no mark tourney for all the English teams that had been kicked out of Europe
