Matt Le Tissier, cant believe no one mentioned him

Another quality player talking about how Scholes is other level.

Scholsey❤

Nob Solano had a ridiculous first touch. Was a while ago but I think it was the game at home against Everton that Newcastle won 6-2…. Ball went about 200 feet up in the air and was dropping right under Nobby. He killed it like he was wearing velvet slippers. Lovely.

When I was younger and an Arsenal fan, one of my favorite players to watch on tottenham was Huddleston. I watched him everywhere I could and taped the games and watched him play. He was an amazing talent. Sad his career never really took off though.

Robbie Fowler had a great first touch

Tom Huddlestone plays for United u21s these days. He's still amazing with the ball now

I said it years ago that Rio has the best touch I have seen for a English player

Ozell… on another planet

Great players were named and I guess it's oriented to name kind of elite but more "normal" players, because Zico, Messi, Pele, Maradona and those type of fellas didn't even think about controlling a ball, with no concern of speed, space, body part, etc. plus the majority of times with already one or two plays in their head. The managing of time and space of these off the charts players is beyond great and you have to combine these with off the charts control to pull out lots of their plays. More difficult even when entire matches sometimes are planned to frist try to nulify them and later see what we can do.

Huddlestone’s seriously underrated! Just want to also comment about the editing, just way to many cuts between the two.

would never try to speak of myself in their league. i played with a guy who would not look out of place on a rugby pitch. 6''3 / 6''4 about 16 stone and he played exactly like what they said about huddlestone. he would step onto a ball and it was like an arrow everytime he kicked the it. the ball made a different sound to any one else hitting it. that is just natural.

Surely Bergkamp or Zidane has to be No1?

Yh Ronaldinho [and Maradona] is probably the closest thing we've seen to a cheat code in terms of first touch and control over a football. His first touch seems to come out of his natural rhythm; the ball obeys him as opposed to other players whose touch/control is born out of muscle memory and repetition.

All you have to do is watch Bergkamp's goal vs Newcastle at St. James Park. Arguably the best first touch preceding a goal ever.

Best touches is Denilson unfortunately he never have the end product. Ronaldinho came close second

Bobby Firmino has the best touch in professional football along with Dennis Bergkamp

Best first touch? Dennis Bergkamp. Any day, every day.

Its berbatov! End of debate

I loved watching Hoddle play. His anticipation of what he was going to do with the ball before it arrived was unique. But he was not the same kind of player as Scholes. Scholes was everywhere. His engine to keep getting on the ball and keep the ball moving and keep the opposition guessing destroyed teams. During the 2nd half of his career when he played a deeper play-maker role he became the most influential player in football.

Nobody even mentions messi. He has to be up there as well seen as he's the goat. Remember first touch isnt all about killing the ball dead. Its also about where you want the ball to go after that touch
