The Prophet Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 It feels like until recently, Benzema didn't get the credit he deserved. Similarly prime Toni Kroos was excellent. No coincidence they were part of one of the most successful sides of modern times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 This is pretty much gonna end up being lists of players generally revered by fans of the clubs they played for, but not so much outside those clubs. One that always stood out for me was Mijatovic at Madrid. There was a media wankathon around Raul being a class player who was Spanish and played for Madrid, you could understand that. But Mijatovic was class in his own right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxst Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Old school, but Ciriaco Sforza. Rated him a lot when I was growing up. Inconsistent maybe though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 The biggest one in my lifetime for me - Rui Costa. Absolutely class player who never got anywhere near enough credit imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
