Tooj Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Now as our players are all seemingly lambasted for their first touches being that of a pass etc It got me thinking, who would you say since "The Sky Era" what player has had the greatest touch in this country, no comparison to this fella I feel. http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9656/bergkampleicester1997bt4.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Just about to say Bergkamp, the way he could bring the ball down was top class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 ignoring all other aspects of his game by the time he came to us, i thought kluivert had a fantastic first touch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Think the best have already been mentioned. But I'm wondering whether David Beckham should get an honourable mention as well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Probably Bergkamp, that brilliant goal he scored down at Filbert Street was a good example of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Zola had a decent first touch as well irrc. After thinking through this a bit it's funny how everyone that comes to mind is not British Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergkamp for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bergkamp is the first thing I thought when I saw this thread. That goal against Argentina in the 98 World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Matt le Tissier springs to mind. If only he'd been able to run as well..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bergkamp is the first thing I thought when I saw this thread. That goal against Argentina in the 98 World Cup. One of my favourite goals, the mna oozed class, probably the best technical player ive ever seen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edd Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Now as our players are all seemingly lambasted for their first touches being that of a pass etc Viduka's first touch isn't bad but when the only passes he receives are up around his neck it's difficult for him to prove it (*) (*) Before anyone else says it, I appreciate not every pass is up around his neck. Many sail 4 feet over his head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bryan Roy used to have a fantastic first touch. Shame he was so poor at everything else. Got to be Bergkamp, no arguments there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
