I used to watch Beckham and Andrea Pirlo. Players like that, they had a fantastic right foot on them; everyone knows that.
I think the more common players who have been around for a while - Joe Root, Alastair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad - those guys I know of, they're fantastic players.
At Barcelona, I was exposed to talent. You had Ronaldinho, who was a marvel to watch. Deco is skilful and talented. Then there are players like Xavi, a good and hardworking man who gave his all. Iniesta is another. Then the name of Messi will come up in that list.
... there are a lot of shredders in country music - Redd Volkaert, Brent Mason, Dan Huff .. and guys like that
But to be fair, Arsenal are a quality side. They're not where they are by chance - they are not top of the league and unbeaten because they are a bad team.
I've got guys in my band that have been there for about 35 years. They're great players, and we still enjoy doing the music.
Technical players make the game easy. They have a view of the pitch different from other players. They put the last pass for the strikers. They are the players that lose two or three balls in a year.
The great all-rounders were not considered part-timers in one particular department. They could turn games at any stage and on any surface.
You walk in our locker room and you see Pau Gasol, you see Andrew Bynum, you see Kobe, you see Ron Artest ... we have so many players that can play.
Players such as Gianluigi Buffon, Andrea Pirlo and Mirko Vucinic are all world-class.
I just think there are so many more good, talented players.
If a player is trying to intimidate a skilled player on your team, what do we want? We want our skilled players playing, so we shouldn't be doing that.
I look up to many great players - principally attackers. The two Ronaldos, Romario and Rivaldo all play well.
Messi and Ronaldo are the toughest. But I would also place Eden Hazard of Chelsea, Neymar of Barcelona, and Karim Benzema of Real Madrid on the list.
There are a lot of good players all over the world.
If you have John Terry, Frank Lampard on the pitch, they've seen everything in football. And it gives you a good feeling because they know what to do.
There aren't many who can take good free-kicks.
I had some very good players and some wonderful young players hitting the scene. Rio Ferdinand, Paul Scholes, David Beckham, Michael Owen - we had something tangible to work with and move forward.
That was liquid football
The competition is tough at the international level. There are very good players.
There are some players I always watched, various players who I knew hit the ball well.
World Class players can lay down the toughest hands and play any two cards at any time without fear. Their reads are impeccable.
This is really a new NHL and it's built on speed and young guys.
In football, there are so many great football players like Eden Hazard, Roberto Lewandowski and Neymar.
