Paul Scholes, its funny to me when you docs and the profile of all the class of 92 and profiles or Gerrard and Lampard as former players.

None of them could lace Scholes boots in my opinion.

What a player, even when he played for the newly formed Yugoslavia mid-30s he was an absolute baller

Yeah I think it was 1998 and/or 2000? At that time you had both the new Yugoslavia and Croatia doing well.

Gheorghe hagi.

Stoichkov too. The Balkan ballers of my youth.

Both Romania and Bulgaria had some boss players on display at the 94 world cup. Letchkov, Dumitrescu, the mad goalie with the bad wig.

Kaka, youd forget how good he was for a period of three to four years.

Just before Ronandhino, Rivaldo and Ronaldo World Cup.

Pep brought him to Barca to teach Messi how to take penalties, They became close in the Brescia days.

Just side note to this the James Richardson Goalazzo podcast on Spotify is excellent,especially if you love the nostalgia of 80s/90s Italian football.
