Just came across this video of some of the best first touches off all time. Berba's against Villa this season is featured! (the Baggio one is my favourite)

Stunning video..
It just proves the importance of and the advantage a good first touch gives you. No running about, no headless chickens etc. Quality, control, composure. Love watching videos like this

Will never tire of seeing that Bergkamp one v Newcastle.
I had to read this title 3 times........I thought it said "Bent first touches"....now that would be a very short dvd

I dunno, if it includes ball retrieval time it could last a while...

You'd need the wide screen tv, though.
The video is a beauty. You wouldn't be offended to be included in that bunch of names.
Berbatov had the best touch in the league.... His touch against Villa was just ridiculous....

The Berkamp one against Newcastle is filth. If I was that defender, you'd just have to applaud.
I think this is a major part of the game thats lost now. Notice that most of those clips were from years ago. Yes players have to have to have a good forst touch, but these are the next level.
Kasami against Palace needs to be there too. Del Piero's first time volley for me.

Another fine Berba moment

This one is up there on my list! I am glad it came in a Fulham shirt! It will be there for the generations to see
