There are plenty of great options: Giggs, Scholes, Baresi, Maldini, Facchetti, Puyol, etc.
For me though, the greatest is Francesco Totti. The others above played for clubs who won multiple trophies, and all won the champions league at least once. Aside from a smattering of Coppa Italias and one Scudetto, Totti didn’t win anything with Rome.
For me, it’s easier for a top player to stay at a top club, rather than be a top player like Totti and stay at a club that was rarely considered the best in Serie A. For my money, he is the greatest one-club man of all time.
Who would you choose?
What? Aside from winning the league and two Coppa Italia he won nothing? Wtf is this?
Give me a Mark Noble over those glory hunters any day of the week. 😎
Maybe because noble wasn’t too good for West Ham
He definitely was when they were in the Championship.
Thing is Mark Noble wasn’t covered by other clubs, Matt le.Tissier could have gone to any of the biggest clubs in England at one point for most of his career
Other clubs were of course interested in Noble. That’s plainly untrue.
But Matt Le Tissier is another good shout.
Well … I mean I don’t think he had the CL clubs knocking on the door consistently let’s put it that way, and outside the ‘successful’ (hate the word big, West Ham got more fans than city) clubs why would anyone move from West Ham anyway.
Because we got relegated.
Genuine question, was Noble ever approached by bigger clubs?
Could say similar things about Scholes and Giggs.
No one approached scholes or giggs? 🥴
He was, yes.
Arsenal were once interested apparently
