Who were that players that made you vibrate with their magic abilities and playstyle?
In my opinion Ronaldinho, Riquelme and Okocha had a special magic. They are the ones that made me smile while watching them playing. Always unexpected and fun to watch.
(If you have some unknown gem player to show please share a highlights video. I don’t care if they didn’t have the most brilliant career, I’m in for the fun)

Berbatov, Di Canio, La Tissiere
I only know from where I grew up in Australia, but EVERYONE and I mean everyone loved Ronaldinho. If you had a shirt it would be a Barca Ronaldinho one.
I really miss him. What a pure magician. Unexpected and brilliant
James Milner
Zidane for sure.
Messi, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Neymar
We had to many of those threads recently.
Gonna give a less known name from the obvious ones.
One of my favourite players of all time, luc nilis. Only scored beautiful goals for anderlecht and psv before his career got cut short at Aston villa with a horrific injury what a shame.
Ronaldo from Brazil said he was one of the best players he ever played with.
Just youtube his name and enjoy.
Never heard of him indeed. I’m gonna check it
Ronaldinho, Dennis Bergkamp, Zlatan and of course Messi
Juan Román Riquelme
Ronaldinho. His dribbling, skills, and passing was incredible. He deserves the nickname, “O Bruxo,” or The Wizard.
Guti by far
Thierry Henry
Payet at west ham
Though we rarely got to see international football on tv back in the late 80s early 90s… must probably say some of those players from what then was then Yugoslavia. Dragan Stojkovic had crazy skils. Though he didn’t get the same career as others of that generation (Procineski, Savicevic, Pancev etc), think he had the best skils of them all.
Found this videoof his skills… just look how he dribles Ruud Gullit… one the best players and biggest star in AC Milan in the world at that time… just falling to the ground…
I had never heard of him before but after watching this video all I can say is “wow”
CR7 made me fall in love with the game. Absolute beast - speed, power, agility, trickery, touch, weight of pass, technique, leap. He was amazing to watch.
Wayne Rooney was another one. There is no type of goal he couldn’t score - lob shot, chip shot, instep, outside foot, tap-ins, bangers, volleys, overhead kicks, headers. On top of all that, he could switch play like the best of them, he had a fantastic long pass. And that raw aggression matched with his strength made him incredibly formidable.
Showing my United bias here, but if you mention the word magic, then for me, these 2 especially are the ones who made me feel this way watching them week in week out.
