Yeah, I like Andy J. -- even when he scored against Birmingham (the team he supported and used to play for) he didn't celebrate his goal out of respect for the fans he used to stand besides.
I have to mention Steve Bull for loyalty. And not a bad finisher either.
Dirty Martini
gets what he cant want
Yeh, I remember that. Fair play to him.

despite millwalls reputation- he's a thoroughly decent bloke
who, despite his setbacks (cancer) came back stronger and has dedicated himself tirelessly to supporting research into cancer charities

Juan Sebastion Veron – apparently he paid for loads of facilities for his childhood club in Argentina and has returned to play out his career there. He even turned down a lucrative end of career deal in the US to stay at his childhood club and help them get promoted and ended up ploughing more money back into improving facilities there.

Like a boss.
Emile Heskey... not just because he's a big teddy bear but also because he made sizable donations to Mr Lineker's leicester consortium when we were fucked.
Martin O'Neill is a really nice guy, as is Steve Claridge, and Tony Cottee, and Les Ferdinand, and Tim Flowers. They're about the only footballers I've met in person that stood out as nice. Oh, and Roberto Mancini. Sweet of him to play for Leicester.

Here for the football.
Really? What a dude! They're my number one "terrorist" organisation in the whole, entire world. God bless Marcos.

Everyone I've spoken to about him thinks Chris Powell is lovely.
Also, Eduardo? Whilst in hospital two days after possibly having his career ended he remarked "It's football, these things happen".

Presas Oleguer.....wrote a book about the anti-facist struggle and held the launch in a Barcelona squat
He then lost his boot sponsorship deal because of it (and other pro-Catalan statements in a newspaper article)."The consequences I suffer are nothing compared to what many people go through. What did sadden me, though, was that most people didn't actually read the piece. If people engaged in dialogue with intelligence and disagreed, then fine, but they didn't."
He's the opposite of the usual football stereotype. Bobbins defender mind.

He looks like David Blaine as well.
Another vote for Zanetti, plus Robbie Fowler for the dockers and Cristiano Lucarelli. I've never really bought this stuff about footballers all being arrogant, maladjusted cunts, though. Some are, some aren't, like blokes in general. A few years ago I had nothing but contempt for Rio Ferdinand, now I've nothing but admiration.

Tim Howard should make the bench.
One the one hand he does loads of charity work for kids with tourettes.
But on the other hand he's a creationist nutjob.

If Bobby moore is playing, then I think John Charles should be in, nice guy and amazing player.
For loyalty can I put forward the name of Phil Dwyer, Cardiff's record appearance holder. And great to have a pint with after, may be more than one tho!
Another vote here for the gentle giant.
The only time i've properly met a footballer was Peter Thorne (ex-Cardiff now at Bradford).
I saw him out once and made a comment about the great goal he scored on the weekend. He came straight over to say thanks and had a big long chat with him. Such a great, down-to-earth bloke. Made my month that did!
