From what I’ve seen, Matthaus in 1990/1991 was one of the best years a midfielder has ever had. I recommend anyone take a look at some of his games with Inter from that period.

More recently I liked Nedveds 2003 a lot, and shevchenko in 2000/2001 made it seem like he was destined for the all time greats.

That's miles more interesting than the usual teen fan boy stuff on here. I'm not familiar with Obiku, who was he and what did he do in 1995?

 

[Eriku]

Ronaldinho 03-05. His initial years at Barca were unreal. Every time you tuned in to watch him he’d steal the show.

Scholes 07-11. At the heart of everything for us, quarterback playmaking.

Ronaldo (Phenomeno) 96-98. Absolutely unstoppable.

Scored the golden goal in the national cup quarter final against Ajax in 1995.

Big deal you'd think, but it's the only match they lost that year. They won the league without a single loss, the CL and the world cup for clubs, but we won the domestic cup, because he sank one of the greatest Ajax sides ever, took of his shirt and jumped over the boarding.

He wasnt a good player, not even really in that season, but he was (still is) a genuinely great guy with one of those infectious pearly white smiles. The epitome of a **** hero.


Some great Ajax players in that side. Daley Blind's dad causing the penalty for instance, Van der Sar on goal. The De Boer brothers, Overmars, Litmanen. All these great players defeated by Obiku. You can see from the goal he's no Bergkamp
