Best ever Asian player?

Don't like Son because he always scores against Villa, so would vote for Pak Doo Ik.

The waterworks and nice guy act whenever he gets sent off for acting like a wee fanny is what puts me off.

Cracking player though.

Agree that Son Heung-Min is probably at the top of the list in terms of raw talent, although Park Ji-Sung is right up there as well given what he won with Manchester United. Park also scored in three World Cups, which is no mean feat.

Keisuke Honda likewise scored in three World Cups for Japan, and has also played at the highest level on five continents. Like Nakata, a brilliant player for Japan.

Makoto Hasebe another who deserves an honourable mention, especially after last night. He's kind of flown under the radar as a defensive midfielder, but won the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg and the DFB-Pokal with Eintracht Frankfurt, as well as obviously now the Europa League. There can't be many other Asian players who have captained a team to victory in a European final (albeit picking up the captain's armband mid-game). Still playing at the highest level at 38 as well, which is good going.
