To celebrate John Giles' retirement week this week, Off The Ball have been trawling through the archives to celebrate the very best of Giles' contributions from over 23 years of broadcasting with Newstalk.

Over the course of this week, we will release some of that timeless content, regaling some of the best Giles' stories from over the years.

From selecting best elevens, to in-depth conversations on the state of the game itself, to paying tribute to the game's greats, Giles has seen pretty much everything there is to see over 70 years of playing, coaching and punditry.

In the seventh episode this week, we get Giles' thoughts on the greatest players he has ever played against.
