I just seen this clip,you kind of forget how good the lad was this is a amazing clip. [YOUTUBE]cYrWxb7UMVo[/YOUTUBE]
Cracking video thanks for posting Paul, welled up watching, what a special special player, no one like him. Im just delighted I got to grow up watching him play,. Class act,.
I remember a manager talking about him think it was lippi, said that even with all his ability, one of his best atributes was how unbelievely hard he worked when he didn't have the ball to create space for himself
He was brilliant, very fond of those little back-ways pull back thingys and could fool defenders with ease.
On another thread fella trying to tell me that Scholes was up there with Zidane and Pirlo,Rui Costa etc as passers of his generation. Scholes was a fine player but never at that level imo.
I would agree he's up there with Pirlo and Rui Costa but all 3 together don't come near Zidane. Like Messi, its a pleasure to be of an age where I can appreciate the greatness in front of my eyes.
For a few years he looked like he was carrying a few extra pounds as well.So you dont have to be a small Messi like player to have skill.
The greatest ever European playerby some distance, 2nd only to Diego IMO as the worlds greatest player ever and it's close, but Diego was just special. Zidane was defo the most complete footballer the world has ever seen, he had everything.
What makes the most complete footballer? Beckenbauer not in with a shout there? All of us are too young to have seen how great Puskas,Di Stefano etc were.
