Sayan Dey

Bum-Kun Cha or Cha Bum-Kun. He was the best Asian ever to play in Europe.

SK Thinks: Cha or Chu?

Indrashis Chatterjee

Paulino Alcantara. Highest goal scorer of Barcelona until Messi broke it. This Phillipino played both for Spain and Philippines with same hunger for goals. But for a pure Asian player Park Ji Sung is the best ever. Ballon d'Or nominated player, Man Utd legend.

Punit Pathak

Ji Sung Park is a great player best in Asia, Manchester United legend . He was the engine behind Manchester's success. But still Lord Bendtner is the best.

SK Thinks: Punit has a great potential to work at Sportskeeda, but only if he knew how to troll. Lord Bendtner? Brah!

Park Ji-Sung without a shadow of doubt. He was a brilliant player and was a key component of Man Utd's midfield. Then you have Hidetoshi Nakata. The guy's talent was enough for Pele to name him in the FIFA 100. Had he not retired at the age of 29, then he could have been the greatest Asian footballer ever and Japan could have gone further in the 2010 World Cup.

SK Thinks: Bro, if it wasn’t for the unintended meme below, yours was the winning comment.

Abhijendra Singh

Park Ji-Sung is the best Asian football player ever. People used to call him "Three Lungs Park" for his immense stamina on the field.

Vijay Prabhu

Park Ji Sung was awesome. Miss him at United. He was better than many of the current players in England.

Siddhesh Vaidya

It's funny how nobody knows HOW GREAT PAULINO WAS!!!!

SK Thinks: We feel you, man. These blinded Man United fans!

Aryan Songara

CHA BUN-KUNAlex Ferguson called him "unstoppable". Lothar Matthaus said he was one of the best attackers in the world and Jurgen Klinsmann put himself a level below. Despite all the acclaim from around the world in the pre-internet and satellite age, Cha Bum-kun really would have been a superstar if he had been born two decades later.

SK Thinks: Food for thought.

Yasser Ahmed

Kagawa and Honda in Today's Generation.

However, we have a winning comment from Marghoob Khan who got a stiff competition from his own ghost it seems. In one response, he said, “Indian cricket team played better football than Asian football team .. so my prediction is all of indian team players.”

While in another, he added, “Baichung Bhutia.. and MS Dhoni”

SK Thinks: AIFF should hire Marghoob Khan as their Scout.
