In the 96/97 season he was the best I've ever seen - alongside, Messi 🙏🏻. He had 3½ years out because his cartlidges were like tissue and still came back as the best player on the planet and won a World Cup. He couldn't pass the ball like Messi and didn't have his vision but if you give him the ball he'd do 100m in 12 secs and plough through teams, he was feared by all and without injuries he'd be the 2nd best player ever and even with his injuries he's top 10 ever and probably the greatest 9 in football history. His career was similar to Van Bastens in many ways, the two greatest strikers ever and both quit early due to injuries. For me he's Brazil's greatest ever player and that's saying something, Pele was nowhere near as good as, R9. Pele is a myth... I witnessed Ronaldo with my own eyes. El phenomenon! The 2nd 🐐

I was at hillsborough that day, you will never believe how terryfying it was stuck in that crush, much love to all of you who have commented positively towards the families, fatalities and survivors, your all very kind ❤

The horrible thing is (apart from the fact that this happened at all - it shouldn’t have!) that cpr is almost useless on people with asphyxiation from crush injuries. There’s nothing left to inflate with breath. That people who just wanted to go to a football match should die in such an awful way is testament to the extreme disdain with which authorities treated all football fans back then - and Liverpool fans especially. As proven by the attempts to blame the fans in certain parts of the media and politics afterwards. RIP the 97. I’m not a Liverpool fan but settled down at my cousin’s house to watch the game that day as we both loved football. Those scenes will forever haunt me, and that’s just from tv. What the people went through who were there was pure horror. 💔

We don't back down to anybody

goat real only one best player

The guy was so good, that God decided to nerf him… TWICE

I cried after hearing his 15th goal in the world cup a legend and my idol💔💔

Why do people feel the need to put background music on dramatic topics? Just report.

Tim Wiese took this as an educational documentary.

The best and biggest ever without any story!!!!

Thatcher was complicit in the cover up, just like Orgreave, if it had been posh people the narrative would have been different but it was the working class.

To those too young to have seen him play, believe me Justin was a great player. He had speed, strength and a great touch.

I really wish that America would present “Soccer” like the NASL or at least 90s MLS. Now it’s American European Football I really gave up on American soccer because of how Eurocentric and pretentious the culture is around it. It ridiculous to see people in Tulsa act like the are from the North of England or people in the stands wearing scarves in May in Miami.

He was a brilliant player if only he didn't suffer with injuries.

Liverpool is better

R9 best football striker ever!

Then and now, I think events like this make so many distrust law enforcement. The lying and covering up and changing stories was appaling, and then blaming the victims and doubling down in the face of true facts.Disgusting that NO one was held accountable. Media sucked too, spreading horrible lies.

Totally wrong aswell as the heysel stadium was too

Samuel etoo the striker. was better than r9. R9 is just a hype up player. If he didn't play for Brazil. He would be like any regular flashy player's. Etoo is better than R9.. If R9 played for the current Brazil team. He would like any regular flashy dribbling players. He never won a UCL.. Etoo is far better than R9. You guys love to hype these Brazilian players up. If R9 didn't play for Brazil, which had a lot of pack players. He would not have won the world cup. That you folks glamorize Soo much. Etoo played for a weaker team and beat R9 Brazil, in the confederation cup. Being the one goal scorer. Scoring the winner. Etoo beat R9 with El clasico between Barca and real Madrid. Etoo won back to back champion leagues. No body has done that. R9 never even won a Champions league. Yet you guys hype em up just because he was a magician with the ball and could wow people. Etoo was a scorer. He put the ball at the back of the net...

Interesting, ask ChatGPT or Copilot to list all gay footballers! Let me know your results 😅

Despite this video being cleared of copyright for over a week, CZcams retroactively hit sections of the Greece portion of the video, namely images and small amounts of edited footage used of the Final. I de idea to just trim these out instead of re-uploading. This is why that section of the video is missing/seems disjointed. I can only apologise for how this disrupts the flow of the video and hope you enjoy it despite this.

No kaiser schlauten ( i hope i spelled that right) is crazy. Those dudes won promotion and then won the top flight the next season. Even greater underdog story than leicester city

Well done sir for your courage to participate.

My grandads birthday. He was watching this outside the stadium. Waiting for his friend. RIP.❤

I have no idea why there’s loud music running over this. If people need it to keep them listening then they’re obviously not really interested. It’s far too loud; being much softer would probably be tolerable, but what’s it for, anyway?

I would argue Chelsea champions league run and win in 2012 is truly an underdog story. Last game of the group stages, chelsea could be eliminated by Valencia and sent to the europa league, they responded with a 3-0 win. Last 16 round, losing to Napoli 3-1. Even after a 2-0 comeback, Napoli scored again and now chelsea needs 2 more goals to win. They made 4-1 in extra time. Barcelona were the heavy favorites in the semis, somehow and someway chelsea wins 1-0 at home. Only to have barcelona score twice at the camp nou and a red card to terry. Ramirez scores out of nowhere and then torres!! Final, bayern munich in their own backyard! They score at the 83 minute just for drogba to save chelsea from a corner in the 89!. Cech saves a penalty in extra time, then proceed to guess right in all 5 penalty directions and saves 2. Chelsea wins it. Against all odds since the very beggining

Liverpool FC fans had to protect themselves from the Juventus fans.

Juventus FC fans were throwing stuff and doing. Liverpool FC fans ran over to find out what was going on. Make it sound as Liverpool FC fans started it and that is not totally true.

#stopnewformatchanpionLeague Not fair on Scottish football club

The Tory Scum

Hillsborough was an example of the police and other official departments burying the truth and using deflection and made-up 'evidence' to justify their own wrong-doing. The Post Office scandal is yet the latest example of this. In the old days, they called this type of official investigation a white-wash.

Thank you Y N W A 97

David Duckinfield Yorkshire Police, Maggot Thatcher the Government you are all Murders shame on you all

RIP from the Celtic Family YNWA HH❤RESPECT never forgotton God bless them them all

My uncle was a police man on duty,scared for life

Shut up Scousers, lets talk about Heysel for a change.

For FFS & the love of God, move on now. Even the Italians were able to man up & take it after Heysel. Sick & tired of hearing about it. Accidents happen to us all you know!

Very very sad

a very sad day for all those affected. Cant help but notice the voiceover is an exact script from Wikiepdia....

Liverpool held a trophy parade on the anniversary of the killings..disgusting fans,disgusting club, now they walk alone in our city

I'm a united fan and this does break my heart

An alien. Without injuries and if he dedicated himself to being a professional, I have no doubt that we wouldn’t be talking about Messi or CR7 when it comes to the goat debate. The guy was a freak, strong, quick, skillfull, intelligent….he had it all

I remember the day so well, I was on holiday with my wife in Las Vegas, Nevada and listened to the BBC World service. Paddy Feeny on World Service said at 0707 (local time) that there's problems at Hillsborough. As a regular supporter I honestly believe I would have been there but for my wife arranging a surprise holiday. There by the grace of god go it, RIP 97, never forgotten 😢

To think that a few years ago in a match between Sheffield Wednesday and Newcastle there was a crush in the tunnel leading to the leppings lane terrace. Thankfully with reduced capacity and all seating nobody was seriously injured.

El mejor 9 de todos no hay nadie más completo que el

Ricordiamo tutte le povere 96 vittime di quel pomeriggio disastroso....dopo lo heysel e dopo quel giorno molte lezioni sono state imparate a caro prezzo....molte giovani vite furono spezzate.....onoriamoli dicendo MAI PIÙ....che riposino in pace.... 1 saluto dall'italia.....

When you do the sparring who are you sparring? Other people who joined white collar? Or like people who have been doing amateur boxing for years? Also where is it? Do you join any random local boxing gym for training? Or do they have their own sort of facility with coaches and stuff just for white collar joiners?

The best player ever

My favorite player from that era. I know he wasn't the best, Ronaldo was, but he had such a heart. I'd pick him over anybody.

paul middup was a horrible man, as time found out
