There are far too many to name past & present
I want another Savičević. Very underrated player back in his days

He werent underrated, more inconsistent and injury prone. If you remember that Yugoslav team & players of the early 90's then his name is usually the 1st to be mentioned.

Boban and savi were good friends .. i admire that esp with their nationalities

There's an anecdote about Savicevic's first days in Milan. The players were in the dressing room and Ruud Gullit came up to Savicevic who was sitting and said 'That's my seat, kid'. Savicevic casually looked up at him, turned to Boban and said 'Tell this guy this is my seat now'. Savicevic later took over Gullit's no. 10 shirt, only to have it given to none other than Boban a few years later when he had a falling out with Capello.

Myeah, except back then we had 5-6 (even more?) world class players in the team.

But the end product was pretty much the same.

cannot compare him to matri

he had more consistency in his prime years 86apps 57goals for Udinese

matri will never be able to touch that


bierhoff could headed balls like a bazooka


after him we never had a good target man

vieri in his prime would have been excellent

Those 3 goals in the UCL are coolness personified.

1) Barca Final ..... could easily have taken the ball forward and made it an easier chance... but Genio's like fuck this... cant be bothered... BAM a 20-25 yard lob :)

2) The First goal of the semi vs PSG 1995. I can't explain that dribble, but he's in full control of the ball no matter what part of his body he has to use... then to finish it the way he did was sublime.

3) 2nd goal in the same game. Desailly breaks up the play and starts the attack... Savicevic is clean on through.... but u know with him being one who likes to conserve his energy has a look across to see if he's still onside while the gk is coming out. See's it's all clear and calmly side foots it past the gk.

IL GENIO

Judging by the old tapes, i can honestly say that desaily is by far the greatest DM ever. Savicevic is a freaking genius.

I'd take Rijkaard over everyone in the middle. Nobody does it better

Savicevic was a BOSS.

for me rijikaard and redondo are very very close.

but desailly playing there was a genius move from capello.

as for savicevic his nickname says it all.too bad he didnt want to train every day...
