Speaking during a Twitter question and answer session arranged by the official Liverpool club account, Downing explained: 'I’d probably say Mark Viduka (was the best). Just his presence, his goals and all-round ability.'
In a wide-ranging discussion on the social networking site, the winger told supporters how he believed Liverpool have a ‘great chance’ of claiming fourth place in the Premier League next season, although he admitted that the club had little hope of persuading Jamie Carragher to reverse his decision to retire at the end of this campaign.
Downing said: 'No matter how much we pester him, Carra is one of those people that if he says something, he’ll stick by it.'
Alongside tackling the questions of both his own and Liverpool’s progress, Downing responded to the weirdest and wackiest queries that Twitter had to offer, including one fan who asked: 'Have you got a pneumatic drill I can lend? Need to break a concrete slab up in my back garden?'
Ever-willing to help out his supporters in a predicament, Downing replied: 'No, I’m sorry I don’t have a pneumatic drill but if you need a hand I can come round and maybe help you.'
Downing also outlined his intentions to return to the DJ scene, with the former Middlesbrough winger admitting that he finds it a valuable distraction.
'I like to do it in my spare time for something to do. I did it when I was younger in a couple of clubs and bars & enjoyed it.'
