Orr at his peak was the best offensive player in the world...even as a defenseman (see 2 Art Ross Trophies).

There has never and will never be a defender in football who is the best attacking player.

Defenders and goalkeepers, while critical to any team’s success, are not considered the most talented players. In a sense, they play anti-football rather than football; football is about movement, controlling the ball, passing, dribbling, finishing, etc and defenders and keepers attempt to disrupt that.

Yes I agree, was just surprised because no one had named the most obvious exception.

Football the Butkus RC is pretty popular also.
