    Is this not conradicting your earlier post of different types of players etc... Claude doesn't score goals, thats not what he is there for. Lets not forget also that Petit had a bigger game on a much bigger stage than Gerrard ever had. Are you forgetting his display in the 98 WC final?

    The fact is that people tend to remember attacking players more fondly than defensive ones and those that do go ahead and score get the credit rather than a great display from a defender that kept a clean sheet etc... Claude Mak has been pure brilliant for Madrid, Chelsea and France and will go down as a legend so even putting either name in there really shows a distinct lack of respect or memory for that matter.
    It is in a way when you quote only part of my post like you did.

    I have a huge respect and admiration for the likes of Makelele and Petit, and any player of that ilk, however, when we look back twenty years down the line it will be the likes of Gerrard etc that will be the ones highlighted as the greats because of the glory associated with them due to the goals in high pressure games that they scored.

    I didn't say I agree with that or not, I'm just telling it like it is, and has been with players of the past. Only a handful of say defensive midfielders have ever gone down as "greats", even though often they are as important as any other player on the pitch.
