 Louis Saha of Fulham has been listed again 
        as one of the best footballers in England. This time it is by The Observer 
        which rates Louis 9th best in the country. Their list was 
 
         
          | 1 | Steven Gerrard |   
          | 2 | Henrik Larsson |   
          | 3 | David Beckham |   
          | 4 | Roy Keane |   
          | 5 | Patrick Vieira |   
          | 6 | Marcus Stewart |   
          | 7 | Paul Scholes |   
          | 8 | Lee Bowyer |   
          | 9 | Louis Saha |   
          | 10 | Ashley Cole |  
  Described by a senior Observer correspondent 
        as the 'prettiest footballer in Britain, just gorgeous', Saha represents 
        everything Mohamed Fayed wants from his expensive Fulham hobby: flash, 
        French and full of potential. Has sliced open defences across England 
        with a brutal combination of power, speed and skill. Brought up alongside 
        Thierry Henry and Nicolas Anelka at the famous Clarefontaine academy - 
        he played up front with Anelka for the French U-17s - he's capable of 
        becoming better than either. Watch him fly next season.  Cost: £2.1m, from Metz, June 2000 Worth: £10m Quotable: 'I never expected him to be this 
        good. He has ability from head to toe and he's quicker than Michael Owen.
