Whenever someone asks about favourite footballer of all time it is quite natural that most of the person go for stikers. Because it is a strikers game and defender seldom gets praise that they deserve. But my favourite footballer is Paolo maldini and i am missing him in this world cup. I know people talk about Pele and maradona, but for me he is better than both. he was like a rock of gibraltor in front of post.and when time comes he is brilliant in scoring goal as well. Since i was child from small age when my dad introduced me to sports i have been hearing about him. He is a kind of person who is never in any controversy. he is a kind of role model every kid can emulate. apart from being superb footballer he si a good human being. When you see a person like maradona taking drugs and setting bad examples to kid paolo maldini always played game with ture spirit. I wil always miss him in the field. TRUE LEGEND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHO IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE FOOTBALLER.
