7 Greatest Footballers In EVERY Position & Greatest XI Since 2000 

Me: "It's 1am. I should really get to bed" - HITC Uploads a 3.5 hour long video "Well, I guess I won't be sleeping tonight."

This is literally the greatest sports channel on RU-vid

Big respect for all the effort you put into your videos. Hope this video blows up. This shows how RU-vidrs really work massive amounts over a few months. 3 hours is crazy. Is that actually a record?

3Hours? Yeah that's a movie, I don't mind watching it though, your content is great. Appreciate your effort 🔥🔥🔥

Omg 3 and a half hour video. Thank you, will have something to listen while working ❤

I was waiting for this leviathan of a video. Thanks Alf for all the work you do, these videos really mean a lot to me during the past well, about 7 years. Hope this video lets you buy something nice, you deserve it.

Just finished listening to the whole 3 hours and 32 minutes. Awesome work!

Excited for the vlogs!

New 3hr long videos from Alfie is something I never thought I could dream of

Great video , thank you for the effort . Cheers ❤

Alfie love these longer vids. Listening on my drive today. 🔥

Wow Alfie Big respect for all the effort you put into your videos, this one is huge!

The peak of football will be this, every player will have to be capable of playing every position (bar goal kepper) And in doing so everyone will be able to rotate and cover any position.

perfect for my 5hr train journey, thanks alfie

Thanks Alfie

As a single parent who looks after children all day every day my decades long held admiration of Oliver Kahn just......fcking skyrocketed after that charity penalty shootout story....reality check lads....what a dude....

The holy amalgamation! Congratulations on a job well-done.

Hey Alfie! I'm a huge fan of your works and a long term subscriber of this channel. I live in Germany and also plan to watch the Euros. Is it possible for you arrange a meet and greet for the fans of the channel living in Germany? Cheers and have a great weekend! 😄

I don't know quite what this says about me as a human being,however,that Oliver kaan story about the charity penalty shootout with the distraught school children is the single most hilarious story in all of football history and simultaneously the most German thing that's ever happened and has subsequently made Oliver my favourite ever footballer,so,er,thanks for that Mr Sevens,nice one,brilliant.

great video!

This was a lot of work. Deserves more views

Excellent video

This video is almost 4 hours long. I'm most impressed, Alfie.

Just the usual 20 mins today then Alfie

Remember the video about "Why Don't English Clubs Dominate in Europe?", which was posted several weeks ago? With Premier League teams already gone in both Champions League and Europa League, I think this thing should be mentioned again. Btw, 3 hours of video sounds like when you watch a movie, lol.

Video Idea The 7 best player managers ( people who have managed a club while still playing with them Ryan Giggs for example) Love the vids btw

Great compilation. Would love to see a 'getting the band back together in Miami', analysis.

While no one can ever agree on the perfect list. The lack of respect for Toni Kross absurd

Best HITC so far

Bro your videos are fuego Deus o abençoe

Me clicking onto Alfie's linktree to check if I was already subscribed to his personal RU-vid (I was) and finding out he has a finance channel has really rocked my perspective on these videos. Does. Does Alfie have other interests/hobbies other than football??? How dare he.

My god 3 hours of Alfie's greatness ? I'm in

Imo Lahm is the best fullback ever played the game because he just shut down everyone he played against. His most impressive stats are he never received a red card in his career and played a whole season without booking even a single foul. 🤯 There's was no player who could beat him in a isolated 1on1 situation. Just magnificent defending out of this world.

The people have been waiting for this one

Crazy how you combined all of these videos… into one.

Thanks!

Thanks for including De Gea here. Thinking about him makes me sick. Trading him out for Onana and paying 100 million for Antony are the two biggest mistakes amongst dozens of other mistakes holding United down this season.

Ronaldinho #1 is all i needed to see, perfect!

alfie giving us a movie

Only about a quarter of way through but this is great!

Today I spent 3.5h listening to Alfie and I don't regret a single minute of it

thank you for recognising De Gea 🍻

Already watched this video all the ways through, but I'm drunk, my local club just won and it's my birthday.. RUN IT AGAIN!!!

This could also count as a 600K sub special

Hey Alfie, I love your video documentaries and your studied answers to multiple issues and topics that revolve around football. I never really request for videos but I request for one today. Can you please make a video about Cristiano Ronaldo. Not about his ability but the hate that revolves him recently. Granted yes I am a Ronaldo fan since childhood and he means a lot to me, but ever since the 2022 WC he has been slandered and hated like never before, I find pretty sad.

I love and tend to agree with most everything with this Channel..but Dani Carvajal not being minimum a top 2 right back is criminal. He’s been a starter and made an impact on FIVE Champions League winning Real Madrid squads and finals. And given how Madrid are in Semi’s again this season…possibly a 6th. Needs serious respect on his name.

Please make an updated version!

Three and a half hours? Alfie! My boss will never swallow this- I’ve got spuds to peal. 😢

Time stamps would be useful for a 3.5 hour video.

That’s the best 3 hours long movie since avengers endgame!

Great sense of humour 😂

Jesus Christ 3.5 hours? The devil works hard but HITC works harder

please do this for the 90s and 80s🙏There is too much forgotten talent from those decades

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="77">1:17</a>:00 Zagorakis outplayed every single european midfielder he faced in that competition, on and off the ball. Some attackers to boot too, made them all look silly. Remember him doing a sombrero flick on the right flank in one game, just because he could. Insane .

DeGea is still without a team The disrespect for goalkeepers is insane

Make a series of Greatest Footballers In EVERY Position of 20th century

Video on Vitesse Arnhem They just got 18 points docked which puts them on -1 points

Would love to see a best 11 since 2020

After u reach 600k subscribers will u do Q&A ??

Great Video!!! But Jesus, not a single human being outside of England could be high enough to seriously rank Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard over Kroos (compare the achievements), Fabregas, Toure or even halfway near Zidane!

#thepeopleschannel a video on the Bangladesh premier league and the rise of Bashundhara kings would be good A team who went into the top flight after promotion and won the last four league titles now! Are they the next Newcastle? Are they a team to keep a eye on next few years? Thanks Alfie 😊

Do a video on Bursaspor got relegated to 4th division was in champions league a few years back!

Oliver Kahn the reason i became a goalkeeper and fell in love with football in 2002.

Good god, Alfie! I hope you only get funnier and more analytical.

I can confirm subscribing to alfie Potts Harmer will indeed classify you as a cool kid

Can you do a what on Earth is going on at Huddersfield town? Club who was in the premier league and proud history getting dragged down

The whole Giggs thing is gutting really. He was absolute quality and I grew up worshipping him (I am not a Man U fan but I but remember kissing the screen when he scored his penalty in the 07/08 CL final), however him being a dodgy character might overshadow what he did. He was also showing signs to really propel Cymru as a manager too.

Still waiting about a sportswashing video about Kazakhstan in UEFA since it is a dictatorship that oppressed dissidents. Yet UEFA tolerating Kazakhstan (contrast to EU and NATO banning Kazakhstan from joining) fuelled Russia, Qatar and Saudi Arabia’s similar schemes, which we are paying a heavy price today.

Alfie do a 'What On Earth is going on at Vitesse Arnhen?'

Timestamps would help with this one, at least for each individual position.

Hmm, so players stats on December 31, 1999 also count for this?

I just watched the 3 hours, great video and goos research, but obviously the Barcelona bias shines through it. In my opinion: GK: Casillas (you mentioned everything he achieved in his time) RB: Cafu CB: Ramos LB: Marcelo (his impact was imo more than Coles, but ok Choice) CDM: Casemiro (Busquets very good player, solid, but not as dominant…) ZM: Xavi (Kroos also Top 7 imo) 10: peak Ronaldinho ok RF: Messi ST: Pure Striker: Ibra LF: Ronaldo Manager: Jose Murinho

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="141">2:21</a>:17 the “i jest of course” 😂😂

completed whole video 😀

A new video 10 years in the making 😂

Bro, great video but mad disrespect to Griezmann 😤

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="101">1:41</a> Vedad Ibisevic mentioned 🎉🎉

I wonder how many madlads will watch the whole thing again

WHAT IS THE Name of THE BACKGROUND MUSIC PLZ

Ok we watched the video. We don’t need a repeat on the bestXI

De Gea is better than Courtois he has proved it too while Courtois has also proved it but with world class defenses

What special thing happened on the 31st of December 1999 that you decided to include it in your timeframe? 🤔

I can't complain

I do think Arturo Vidal had a real shout to be in a list. His trophy cabinet is ridiculous and he was super effective both with and without the ball for at least ten seasons.. he also won a trophy with Chile which is not exactly easy.

Gianluigi Buffon the definition of class!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="105">1:45</a> December the what exactly Alfie?

Day 4 of asking for an updated video on the FAI and Irish Men’s National Team. Since your last video, they've failed to qualify for a World Cup and the Euros, let the manager's contract run out and failed to replace him for 149 days, and had a CEO sacked for misappropriation of funds. The DoF, Marc Canham promised the manager would be in place for the first week of April (now passed) but now they have pushed back the deadline to September. They have yet to have announced the interim head coach for their friendlies vs Hungary and Portugal. On the bright side Evan Ferguson came to the fore and has since then has had a huge drop in form. The circus continues.

I'm here❤🎉🎉

Imagine if one kid scored against Kahn when he was actually TRYING. That kid would have been over the moon

I usually agree with all your picks but I will easily take Marcello over Ashley Cole any day...

No mention of Pepe Reina? 😅😅😅 Seriously? Dude won a hatrick of Premier league golden gloves beating Cech & Van Der Sar, despite both of them having better defenders and defensive midfielders protecting them. A calming presence in the box and a reliable penalty stopper, he was also the best ball playing goalkeeper in the word before Neuer arrived on the scene. Also don't forget that he was the second choice goalkeeper for that all conquering Spanish side - Valdes was clearly a distant third choice in the national side. Yes, he did start declining by 2013, but so did Valdes after that horrible injury towards the end of his Barcelona career. However, Reina did recover from his decline and had impressive stints at Napoli, Lazio, Aston Villa and is still going at Villa Real. Please put on some respect on his name.

HITC in every Video: England has the best players HITC Greatest XI: No England Players

Lewa no ballondor is an absolute robbery

The day Sterling or Jackson run and hug Caicedo or whoever made the goal pass that day we end individualism. We'll getting there tho, the more united we are the better!

Maxwell definitely shouldve been an honorable mention

7 footballers who have been sent off the most

I would put where Messi where garnnicha is and put di stefano in Messi’s position

France should have given Benzema the 15 shirt

Here's an idea for a future video - the controversial story of Arkadag FC, a club from Turkmenistan (often labeled as the North Korea of Central Asia) that had just been founded last year in a city that has a population of 65k people and is still under construction (to be completed by 2026) with the lofty ambitions to be an 'inteligent city' (whatever that means). This club had won 37 matches in a row (alegedly), breaking Al-Hilal's record of 34 wins in a row. And here's the part that may merit a video on this channel - Guinness Book of World Records refuses to acknowledge this achievement
