Pires, Sanchez and Ljungberg were all better than Overmars.

Are you saying Pires wasn't but Sanchez and Ljungberg are?

Because Pires is better than both of them too.

Nah, maybe top 10 though.

In truth, this discussion is pretty redundant. I can't really compare one of the Invincibles to someone like Liam Brady or David O'Leary who I never got to see play, who were legends in their own right. And then you have the players who won a lot for us in the 30s who we can't really speak about in any real detailed way.

Other than a cup winners medal did kalstrom play lol
And for many here viv Anderson was one of the first attacking full backs and I think first black player to play for England (I think)

Viv Anderson was indeed the first black player to represent England.

I was not old enough to really appreciate players like Bergkamp, Seaman, and Adams, so I've only gone off of videos and stories wrt them. For me it's:

1. Henry
2. Bergkamp
3. Vieira
Ramsdale
(Turner/Hein)
White Saliba Gabriel Zinchenko
(Tomiyasu/Niles) (Timber/Holding) (Trusty/Kiwior) (Tierney/Tavares)
Odegaard(c) —- Rice
(Xhaka/Lokonga) —- (Partey/Elneny)
Havertz
(Jorginho/Vieira)
Saka Jesus Martinelli
(Pepe/Nelson) (Nketiah/Balogun) (Trossard/ESR)
