    I had the honor to play against him as a youth player. He played for Elinkwijk in that time together with Vanenburg. I had no doubt that once he would be world league and one of the best players of all time.

    Right foot, Left foot, Headers, Speed, Skill, Short range, Long range, finesse, power, tap ins, bicycle kicks, dribbling, passing/assists...Could do it all. Sad to see his career cut short, Van Basten was kicked and fouled constantly in an era of football when players weren’t protected as they are now. Those of us who were lucky to see him play for AC Milan and earlier for Ajax will know. I wish the quality of the videos were better for everyone to see, but thank you for uploading this compilation. My favorite player of all time, Marco van Basten.

      H.M. Murdock exactly right ! I wrote almost exactly the same words about him somewhere once, quite possibly the most complete footballer ever to play, he had it all and played an entire career like he did virtually injured. Behind Maradona in my opinion there is none better than Marco !

    Power and grace. Fluid, elegant, tough and fast. What a player. The most beautiful movements and coordination I've ever seen on a field. In a AC Milan full of legends.

There was no internet so you didn't know anything until they showed the highlights and believe me, they hardly ever disappointed.

    Uno dei più grandi giocatori di sempre: l'ho visto - allo stadio - molte volte ed era incredibile come riuscisse ad unire eleganza, potenza e classe. Giocatore completo, destro, sinistro, testa, gioco acrobatico, dribbling, controllo di palla, rigorista eccelso. Prima di definire altri giocatori "più forti" per quello che hanno vinto o quanto hanno segnato, bisognerebbe ricordarsi che Marco Van Basten non solo ha smesso di giocare nel pieno della sua maturità calcistica, 29 anni, ma gli ultimi anni giocò "penalizzato" dalla caviglia, alla quale subì diversi interventi, il primo - se ricordo bene - nel 1986 a soli 22 anni. Non avesse avuto la caviglia a tormentarlo già da inizio carriera, chissà quali traguardi avrebbe potuto raggiungere, visto che anche "menomato" riuscì comunque a vincere 3 palloni d'oro, diverse classifiche marcatori, campionato Europeo, coppe campioni etc.

    Gullit Rijkaard Koeman supplemented with the next ajex generation winning the CL in 1995, Van basten would've been 32 @ the euro cup '96. Could've possibly even played the worldcup 1998.

You talked about the 91 goals in 2012...and you forgot that he lost the League, he lost the UCL(he missed the final penalty that give his team the pass to the final) and he just won a "King Spanish cup". He scored a lot of goals...unnecessaries to teams like Eibar,Leganes or Las Palmas. Why he didn't deserve that Fifa Balon D'oro but CR7 must to win that year?? Simple, because CR7 in 2012 he won exactly the same as Messi in 2011 and FifaBalon d'oro denied him to gave to his protect child. Now lets travel back to 2015...The season 2014-15 with Luis Enrique as a coach didn't started as well as FCB didn't in the last 3 years of Messi dragging and vomiting on the pitch. The coach putted him as a 10 far away from the Forward position where he was played the last decade because he didn't have the speed and powerful starting as the beginning and with Neymar and Luis Suarez from Feb-May 2015 they won the treble, because of Real Madrid's fell and because and extraordinary Neymar and Suarez that won all the matches to reach the final, Messi was "missing" as usualy from the group to the final.

    Se penso al giocatore più determinante ai fini del risultato finale, mi viene in mente Marco Van Basten. Un giocatore che ti permette va di vincere, sempre e comunque. Tanti goal, ma soprattutto goal determinanti per la vittoria di campionati e coppe. Un killer del goal, freddo, spietato ed elegante.

You forget things thou as you get older, so I watch back now and then, it always amazes me just how powerful his shooting was, I mean he was LASER accurate, but the power he strikes 98% of his shots with is astounding! Like how can he hit the ball so effortless yet so hard?
    Even his headers, he absolutely launches them.
    He has something I can't quite explain, it's like his vision is robotic, like it tells him exactly when and where to strike a football to create the absolute maximum force. And another remarkable thing with him, which I've never seen since, he plays against world class world renowned players, but he is super confident and composed.
    It's kinda like as thou he's playing football on the school yard, and he's miles better and older than all the other kids. His level is insane, he doesn't even doubt he's going to score, he just makes the perfect touch, dribble, feint, pause whatever til he strikes the ball flawlessly!
