Alan Mullery, Alan Ball & Frank McLintock on Sir Tom Finney - "Best All Round Player I've Ever Seen"

Alan Mullery, Alan Ball & Frank McLintock picking England & Preston Legend Sir Tom Finney in their All Time England XI. "Finney was a versatile attacking player who could operate in any forward position on either side of the pitch or at centre-forward. In the 1950s, he was often compared with Stanley Matthews and football fans would debate who was the best player, given Matthews' dribbling skills and Finney's all round ability. Relatively small in stature, Finney could withstand hard tackling but his movement, speed and ball control invariably enabled him to avoid contact with defenders. While Finney was himself a frequent goal scorer, he was also a creator of goals and it was because of his assists that he was considered "the ideal team man" "Finney was highly regarded by his former teammate Bill Shankly, who described Finney as "the greatest player I ever saw, bar none". On another occasion, Shankly said that Finney was "a ghost of a player but very strong. He could have played all day in his overcoat". Stanley Matthews once ranked him alongside Pelé, Diego Maradona, George Best and Alfredo Di Stéfano as one of the few players who could "dictate the pace and course of a game on a regular basis" "Docherty, who played with Finney between 1949 and 1958, told the BBC: "He was the best player I've ever seen, alongside Lionel Messi. I watch a lot of Barcelona and when I watch Messi, I close my eyes and can see Tom. I'm serious when I say that Messi is the Tom Finney of today. "Just like Finney, Messi is always getting fouled but doesn't complain and just gets up and gets on with the game." "The former Manchester United manager told BBC Sport's Late Kick-Off: "Lionel Messi is a young Tom Finney. "He reminds me of him with his attitude, the way he plays. You never see him involved in any unsavoury things, you never hear him criticising anyone, and that was Finney. "To me Messi is Finney reborn. "He was a diamond. If I was a manager and was able to buy any player who has played the game, I would buy Finney."
