Sky Sports 5 is great for showing these. Great channel.

Van Basten's penalty taking was a thing of beauty.  Straight out of a textbook.

 

Too bad about the one he missed in the 1992 European Championship semi though.

[Trumo]

Fantastic player and such a shame he had to retire at the age of 30 due to injury.

Aye, but fair's fair, he's in good company having missed in his career.

[Beno]

Don't know what happened there but anyhow was judt gonna say that's not a lot games in a career especially whilst he was at AC Milan st his peak. If he wasn't made of polystyrene he would arguably be the greatest European striker ever.

[Jairzinho]

Aye, but fair's fair, he's in good company having missed in his career.

You're thinking of Charlie Adam presumably.

[Dr Nowt]

You're thinking of Charlie Adam presumably.

 

Didn't mean missed the stadium, mate.

One of my favourite non reds.  Class player

[lifetime fan]

Rush was, and still is my hero. Van Basten was that bit better though.

 

To see his career cut so short, it makes my blood boil when you see the likes of Andy fucking Carroll steal a living from the game and not even bother his arse.
