Martin Keown, a true legend of the beautiful game, has faced some of the world's greatest footballers during his illustrious 21-year professional career.
The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Thierry Henry, Ronaldo Nazario, Zinedine Zidane and Rivaldo have all been tasked with trying to get past the tough-tackling centre-back.
But none of those footballing superstars left Keown in awe like Tottenham Hotspur cult hero Chris Waddle did during a match between Aston Villa and Spurs in March 1989 at White Hart Lane.
Keown, who hung up his boots in 2005, was asked whether there was a particular moment from his career that a rival player left him in awe.
And without hesitating, his mind flashed to an encounter against Waddle, where the tricky winger scored both goals in Spurs' 2-0 win, finding the back of the net in either half.
His opener in the 23rd minute saw Waddle race onto a through ball on the edge of the box, before jinxing past Keown where he then rifled his shot into the roof of the net.
And his second was a thing of beauty, as he flicked the ball over Keown, before unleashing a stunning volley into the top right corner.
Commenting on who the footballer that left him starstruck on the pitch, Keown said: "Do you know what? It happened more than once!
"But one that sticks in my mind was playing against Chris Waddle for Spurs vs Villa.
"It was a midweek game and I went to press him on the edge of the box.
"And I got as tight as I could and he just hit it round me.
"And when I looked, it went over, he's a left-footed player, it went over my left shoulder.
And when I looked in the goal, it was in the right-hand side of the goal.
"It was like unbelievable, like a banana shot that he hit round me.
"So respect to him, he was a handful.
"And he probably doesn't get the credit he deserves, top player."
Waddle spent four seasons at Spurs, where he scored 42 goals in 173 matches in all competitions, which earned him a move to French giants Marseille.
He proved to be nothing short of sensational during his three years at Stade Velodrome - winning three consecutive Ligue 1 titles having banged in 29 goals from 149 outings.
Affectionately dubbed as 'Magic Chris', he certainly showcased his wizardry to Keown in a match he has never forgotten.
