Who makes Mullen's final list?
9. TWO - Lionel Messi
For me the best player in the world and the one who will get you off your seat the most. Opposition players know his strengths but are still unable to stop him. I was lucky enough to watch him play for Argentina. Photo: Getty Images
10. ONE - John Barnes
For a Liverpool fan growing up in the late 80s and early 90s he was a joy to watch. Superb left foot but also very good with his right and excellent in the air. I always remember the goal he scored at Anfield against QPR. Photo: INPHO
11. SIX - Pele
The overhead kick in Escape to Victory, although staged, always sticks in the memory, he was a player who matched this and more in real life. You could watch footage of the older Brazilian teams and appreciate how special he was. Photo: PA
