Boss players through history

[Billy Dean]

Anyone ever heard of Vassilis Hatzipanigis? Quite possibly the greatest footballer you have probably never heard of.

Bit of a sad story really, his Russian background pretty much ruined his chances of playing on the biggest stages.

I dont know how he didnt throttle his team mates though, did loads of brilliant balls, crosses etc only for the dope up front to hoof everything wide.

never heard of him mate. Greek I guess?

Yeah Greek/Russian. Made the game look effortless. Especially like him shooting from corners.

Gheorge Hagi and Hristo Stoichkov were both top drawer. Lit up the 94 World Cup.

Modern day, and he’s been off the boil a bit, but I’ve never thought Hazard has had the plaudits he’s deserved. On form he was a cut above any of the other attackers in the prem and probably only behind the big two talent wise, yet he got nowhere near the adulation that far inferior players like Coutinho Firmink or even the likes of Mata. Blimey even Lukaku and Richarlison probably have had higher profiles than him. He’s a bit like Aguero, so class that people almost forget to mention him whenever talking about top players in the prem. Hopefully he’s back on it next season at Madrid.

I’ve always thought the opposite of Hazard in that he’s had too much hype thrown onto him. I don’t think he’s ever shown up on the highest stage and felt that he sits well off that world class bracket.

Great on the ball but I don’t think he’s shown that mentality to pull of the extraordinary on a regular basis and he’s also flopped at Madrid big time.

Watching the Bayern game tonight, Lothar Matthaus was alright.

Dragan Stojkovic. Woof.



And his goals against Spain at Italia 90 were pure sex

Some of the names in Yugoslavia's world cup 1990 squad as well as Stojkovic:

Robert Jarni
Srecko Katanec
Robert Prosinecki
Dejan Savicevic
Davor Suker
Alen Boksic
Davor Jozic
Darko Pancev

Great team. Unlucky to get knocked out on pens by Argentina in the quarters.

Brilliant video. He was brutal.
