Nedved had a brilliant career with Lazio (scudetto, CWC), Juve (4 scudettos, 1 CL final) and Czech Rep (1 final, 1 semifinal in Euro 96/04). He was a key player, with Keanesque leadership qualities and winning mentality, a workrate that puts Giggs and Figo combined to shame, fantastic technical qualities, a powerful shot.... the guy had it all. He remained pretty humble through it all, stuck with Juve in Serie B even though he could walked to Inter/AC to name but two teams and was never a media whore. No need to belittle a true legend of the sport just becasue you haven't seen him enough play.
