A thread to talk about football legends. Post a story or a vid or anything else you feel like about those you consider as football greats!

(Preferably not Milan players, those deserve their own thread in the 'Players' section. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) )


OK so let's start with Gabriel Batistuta. I love that guy! And I'm sure Tennie does too! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I was watching some vids of him on YouTube and came across this one. It's his first goal against Fiorentina, the team he followed in Serie B, with the Roma shirt. I think it was his first game against the Viola too. His reaction after scoring this great goal is heartbreaking. He cried and then (this is not shown in the video unfortunately) he turned towards the Viola fans and held his arm high up in the air asking for an apology and they all applauded him...

What a ****-ing legend!! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

The extreme heat and humidity of summer in Giants Stadium, a partially paralyzed shoulder, coming towards the end of his career at 34, marking the reigning World Player of the Year.. job done, I'd expect nothing less of Him.

Great stuff indeed.
