DJ_NUFC Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Thought he died. People really have to put "not dead" in parenthesis after such threads, a la Dave. Yeah, a legend though. Golden generation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmonkey Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Perfect playmaking midfielder. Silky skills, great technique, and a good team player. Although he was a good signing for Milan overall, he should have left Fiorentina alot earlier. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stephen927 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 He scored against us in Euro 2004 didn't he, don't think i saw him when he was at his best. Scored twice in that game didn't he? Or was that Lampard? EDIT: Lampard scored the equaliser in extra time iirc after Rui Costa had scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagerstedt Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 He was my fave player for so many years, one of the best midfielders I've ever seen Him and Batistuta were immense together To be honest, the only reason you liked Fiorentina was because of the Nintendo sponsor on the shirt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
