I'd say that for a player to be considered World Class they have to be at least a certainty to make the subs bench of a World X1 team, so obv quite a few named itt don't fit that criteria.

It's a shame that Sir Alex doesn't see fit to give credit to players he's falling out with that obv do fall into this category, never knew him and Schmeichel had  fallen out ? He would surely be a lock for the whole football world, definite Goat contender for GKs so that's nonsense.

Of the four he did name is Ryan Giggs World Class ? By my above definition that is. He's obv a great player, and what he's achieved is insane, but I'm not sure he would ever have made the team, if you think yes then when would he have got on the bench of a World X1, no way he's ever starting that's for sure. The other three are for me as well as him with the silly name above and Roy Keane also.

So we're only having 2 world class keepers per generation?

Not per generation no, hypothetically Schmeichel could make the '94 team but doesn't make the '97 team as there was two better goalkeepers than him that year, he was still World Class in '94 though.

PS 9 subs btw Tongue

Surely at Utd,
1. Schmeichel
2. Keane
3. Scholes
4. Giggs
5. Ronaldo.



In their prime all would have got into a World X1 (or at the very least bench) - and Vidic and Van Niistelrooy must have been close.

I'd argue that Cantona probably would not despite being a personal favourite of mine.

Rooney can gtfo - vastly over-rated imo and not in the same league as the 7 names I've mentioned above.

All purely my humble opinion of course.

For Arsenal:
1. Viera
2. Bergkamp
3. Henry

Were sensational in their prime and were definitely 'world class' by any definition of the word.
