y i remember the squirrel, good powerful well placed long shots and free kicks, but that pretty much covered it.

was amazing at valencia in early 2000's

^Made me think of:

Rendondo the best DM ever


Imagine him in the golatico-side (one that much needed a great DM after Makelele)

Or today's Real Madrid tbh

This guy usually doesn't get the credit he deserves. Loved his celebrations after a goal.
Also Elber for Bayern used to be sheer class.

Someone wanted pre-90s player videos. It's hard to find compilations of "forgotten" players that played before the 90s.

I tried to looking for some Masopust or Amarildo compilations (2 players that impressed me while watching 1962 WC classics on Youtube), but I found none. And Masopust is actually still hard to consider forgotten even today.

Found this decent one of Dragan Dzajic though:



He was probably Crvena Zvezda's and Yugoslavia's best ever player. He carried his teams to a Euro final and CL and UCWC semis... it's a shame that players from eastern Europe had pretty much no chance of leaving their countries until the end of their carreers. Dzajic left for France at age 30 where he raped Ligue 1 and carried Bastia to their best ever season (3rd place). He also finished 2nd in the Ballon d'Or I think, only behind George Best in that season where Best had his best year and was simply unstoppable.

I guess he counts as forgotten nowadays... he never really won anything that allowed him to become memorable outside his country unfortunately. Whatever, he's a player I really like, even though I've only been able to find 6-7 full games of him.

Here's another video of him against Real Madrid (I have seen the full match on Youtube in the past, if it's still up it's worth a watch; it's the 1976 or so second leg... of the UCWC quarter finals? I think): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dK2aUr7U1bc

Yeah... just like everyone talks about the new Zidane, Pelé, Maradona, etc; in Spain the press always looks for the new Redondo, he left a huge impact here.

And this one is for you MGS4, since Zidane is your favourite player.



Did you know that Enzo Francescoli was Zidane's favourite player? (that's why he called his son Enzo).

2 things have stopped Enzo from gettin the credit he deserves though:

1. He was one of the best uruguayan players ever, BUT he was unlucky to play during Uruguay's worst years.
2. He spent too much time playing in Argentina, although when he played in France and Italy he still did very well.

.. I actually didn't, thanks for sharing. Weird player to have as a favourite, Zizou
