The Prophet Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 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...

Lazarus Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 Old school but Gaetano Scirea. Made Franco Baresi look like Titus Bramble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionOfGosforth Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 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...

Zidane was obviously brilliant but seemed to get every plaudit going, while Youri skulked in the shadows But ZZ never had the chance to play for a Big Sam team so who really won in the end?
