Captain Marvel’s toughest opponents

MICHEL PLATINI

Top, top player. He could dribble, had great vision and was fantastic at playing a ball with one touch. Was as good as anyone on free-kicks.

DIEGO MARADONA

He was the best player in the world. His low centre of gravity enabled him to dribble past you at ease and he was so quick over the first five yards.

PAUL GASCOIGNE

Had incredible talent and great quality of pass. Had a clever knack of being able to push off your chest like a springboard, then he’d speed away from you.

GRAEME SOUNESS

Read the game brilliantly and was an excellent passer from deep. Could be nasty but we always had a fair contest and he scored some spectacular goals.

ZICO

Unbelievable talent who you just couldn’t get the ball off. I marked

Zico (below) for England v Brazil and his close skill was incredible. Similar to Platini.

MARCO TARDELLI

Great box-to-box midfielder, fantastic stamina and could score goals. A tough tackler too.

KEVIN KEEGAN

Worked incredibly hard to become European Footballer of the Year. Brave, tough to tackle and constantly on the move, never stayed in a straight line.
