Current Legendary Footballers

Which footballers currently playing will be remembered as iconic players? Players you can easily see a 'football's greatest' programme on sky sports dedicated to?

There are very obvious ones such as Messi, Ronaldo, Rooney, Iniesta, Buffon, Zlatan, etc... but are there some who you think have the potential as well?

Neymar stands out to me as a legendary player in the making, with his Brazil caps and goals set to break records

I think Sergio Ramos when his career is over will also be remembered as a legendary defender considering his career altogether, although I'm sure some will disagree

Opinions?

Depends what u mean by black players aswell, ronaldinho, neymar and most black brazilian players are praised for their skill and technique not any physical attributes(especially in ronnys case lol)

No Yaya's best attributes are not his burst and power, plenty of players have that, his best attributes are his gifted technical ability as a passer and dribbler

you must be watching the wrong player. Yaya ran past players similar to how rooney did.

And his passing at times is woeful mate. Can be great don't get me wrong but sometimes woeful.

You seem to fall under some sort of assumption that the ability to run past players is purely down to his physicality. How many big players like him can do that? Barely any, and the reason is they lack his close control

Agreed about race, you can literally play a drinking game watching AFCON and consuming every time a commentator mentions how 'powerful' a player is.

Tbh Yaya was the perfect package, bar workrate he had it all, and his workrate was also hugely underrated.

Not saying he doesn't have close control but I've also seen the ball run away from him a lot and him get away with things due to his size.

U seem to be assuming that because I'm saying he has some physical attributes I don't rate him at all technically

Iniesta and Xavi without a doubt.

Significant players in the greatest club side I've ever seen as well as a history-making Spain squad. Both got trophy hauls to envy.

Luka Modric - two CL titles, one of which is the decimal, and hopefully a La Liga title to add this season
