Care re-opened due to poster continually moving goalposts.

Also your theory would make LeBoeuf a better player than George Best, Marco van Basten and Lionel Messi.
answer me this question then, name me a true and I mean true world class player who has never won the games major honours as in International level, or Leagues or European Cups on more than one occasion, I dont mean very good players like Gerrard or Shearer I mean true world class players like Matthaeus, Zidane or Van Basten and Gullit, a player is defined by what he wins in the game, greatness is measured in success.

George Best he won the european cup in 68 but it was downhill from then on. But talent wise some put him up with Pele.

Best was the closest you could probably come to it, he was regarded up there with Pele, never seen him unfortunately. think you need to win the games biggest honours and not just win them but make a major contribution to them winning in order to be regarded as true world class tho, Gazza and Le Tissier would of qualified if they played for United instead of Spurs and Southampton respectively.

Again your opinion on what constitutes a World Class player is just that: Your opinion.

If we were to start debating who were truly world class players and who were not we would be here all night.

The fact that Frank LeBoeuf has a World Cup Winners Medal and that Djimi Traore has a Champions League Winners medal disproves your theory.

Neither are seen as some of the games greats and they have won the games very top honours.

Gazza was a wasted talent and LeTissier seemed happy with being a big fish in a small pool.

One lacked discipline, the other lacked ambition.

Very good players but not greats of the game.

similar to Gerrard he wasted his career at his boyhood club when his talent deserved a bigger better club which would of provided him with the games major honours, Shearer went the same way, both very good players who will remain legends at there hometown clubs.

Yet again another post lacking in facts and based solely on your opinion. The only major honour Steven Gerrard hasn't won with his home town club is the Premier League. If you are going to try and wind people up at least chose a topic where you may have a fighting chance.

Major honours won:

Gascoigne: F.A.Cup

Shearer: Premier League

LeTissier: None

Gerrard: FA Cup (2): 2000–01, 2005–06
League Cup (3): 2000–01, 2002–03, 2011–12
FA Community Shield (2): 2001, 2006
UEFA Champions League (1): 2004–05
UEFA Cup (1): 2000–01
UEFA Super Cup (2): 2001, 2005:

He adds to much more to the team. Comparing him to Emile Heskey is embarrassing and silly.
your right is a bit embarrassing and Silly comparing them

Suarez one league Cup

Heskey two League Cups, one U.E.F.A Cup, one F.A.Cup and One Super Cup...

How many 'player of the tournament' awards did Emile get in continental cup competitions for his country?
