Although Zidane's parents were Algerian he was born in Marseilles and had French nationality, and he shares the distinction of being the subject of a documentary film with Cryuff and Cristiano Ronaldo. I would also consider Luis Figo, Michel Platini and Kevin Beattie.
In my lifetime it has to be Cristiano. Henry was pretty great too. I'd consider Xavi probably the best midfielder. I know he played full back but Ashley Cole was the only player I've ever thought was indisputably the best player in their position on the planet.
I survived Ipswich 0-0 Burton

Don't know about the best but Henry was my favourite to watch. He made scoring goals look so easy.

Talking of other positions, I think the best team who I've seen would be something like this: ____________Neuer Lahm___Ramos__Terry___Maldini _______Keane____Xavi Messi_______Zidane____C.Ronaldo ___________Ronaldo

I'd have Cannavaro ahead of both of those CBs for sure.
Completely agree with Cruyff. His impact on football as a whole is unrivalled. Ajax and Barcelona wouldn't be the institutions today without him and Michels (Barca and La Masia are a shadow of that at present).
Cristiano Ronaldo is a pure athletic freak and a phenomenal footballer (not on par with Messi for me though). Certainly one of the greats of modern times.
I think you can also make an argument for Iniesta and Lewandowski. I'd also highlight the likes of Maldini and Seedorf for remaining consistently at the top of the game for over a decade.
