It staggers me how many literal legends were at Ajax at the same time back in 1995.
They focus on producing talent
The youth team won the champions league
A golden generation
@@Rossboy2112 yea that was an actual golden generation of talent.
@@dobianuli2742 💯 class players
As a Newcastle fan, he wasn't as bad for us as it is made out to be. You could see his quality finishing. He was sharing minutes with shearer and bellamy. Shearer was normally preferred to him, so he couldn't get a run of games to showcase his talent. I always thought he'd have been good to keep for the next season when shearer was supposed to retire.
Yeah I agree he was decent. My guess would be that he was on some substantial wages and the assessment of his fitness wasn't good. I can't see any other reasons why they wouldn't take him on for another season.
Can’t help think that it might have gone very differently if Robson hadn’t have left two months after he joined us…
He wasn’t half the player he could’ve been when he joined you due to injuries
@@jamesdewbrey shearer would have been the best teacher for him in terms of how to reinvent himself on the pitch. Shearer for me, with a bit of bias as a Newcastle fan is hands down one of the best strikers ever. His goal scoring prowess never diminished after his knee injuries and how he had to reinvent his playing style. Shearer was never rapid, but he had some pace when he won the league for Blackburn and when he first joined us. But after that knee injury and a year out, he came back with 0 pace, couldn't beat a defender but he totally changed his game and focused on being the best target man. The best striker of a ball. He was so intelligent, he knew where to position himself, where to wait for a tap in, how to strike a screamer from 30 yards. Kluivert could've learnt that off him.
It wasn't his fault, it was awful Management by Newcastle and Souness. They failed to utilise him at all, he was just about in his prime and was a perfect partner for Shearer. didn't help that some Newcastle were being spoiled brats about it and criticised him.
As beeing born i 85' and getting my football wits at around 93-95' ish Kluivert is one of the strikers i remember so fondly in my youth arguing with my friends as who was the best, had the most skills ect. He is foundly connectect to my footballing youth and will always be on the blueprint on my footballing enjoyment and knowledge.
Hearts out for the man who could have been so much more and with the right moves and a bit more luck consider to be one of the alltime greatest
Almost forgot how much I actually loved this player as a child.😊 Brilliant video
I met him once in a resort in Miami years ago. It's super, super nice, dude . Super humble.
To me Patrick Kluivert was one of the best strikers of his time.I even rate him in top five best strikers of his time.
I agree with you bro
The only reasons UEFA cowered and didn't strip Juve of the title, is because they'd have been shown up for hypocrisy for not stripping Marseille rightfully of the champions league they 'won' vs us. They'd match fixed throughout the season, so they could be fit. Both Ajax and milan should have one more champions league vs their names.
Milan were also corrupt cheats as was shown in 2006.
Class striker him and Bergkamp up front for Holland 🇳🇱
Such good content mate, plus your voice seems to Fit perfectky with the old Football era
Glad you're enjoying it!
Such a shame that Ferguson never took a chance on Kluivert. Rotating between him, Sheringham, Cole and Yorke, what a strike force that would've been!
Remember it was him who didn't want to come to Manchester United
My co-fav player as a kid. Alan Shearer was my hero. I love Kluivert so much. This video makes his career seem sad or like he fell short. He did amazing. He was the top scorer for the netherlands until RVP broke his record. Won a CL. Almost won another CL if it werent for bad luck in the pens. He also took good care of the family of the person who died in that car crash, he still does till this day. He's an example of never give up and even if you make a mistake you can still be a good person.
I'm glad to hear that he did that and does that, I couldn't find any information about it. I didn't want the video to make his career seem sad, I think he was an unbelievable player. As stated at the end of the video, he won a hell of a lot, but my personal feeling is that, given a bit more luck, he could have achieved a lot more as his talent and ability were off the charts.
Honestly mate i could watch your Channel all day. Infact thats exactly what i plan on doing. Your content and the way you present it is brilliant. So glad i found your Channel as this is era of Football i love the most.
Thank you for the kind words!
Amazing video!
Good memories, Kluivert was an excellent!
I was impressed during his time in Barcelona, but I’ve seen him played when he was in Ajax & AC Milan too!
I really saw him as top player able to compete with the greatest players of that time.
If I may request you to please make videos of Christian Vieri, Jürgen Klinsmann & Alan Shearer
this channel hella underrated.
Hella?
It's wild that Kluivert was born on the same day as Van Nistelrooy. I'd never even heard of Van Nistelrooy before he signed for United in 2001. Kluivert had already scored the winner in the Champions League final in 1995 🤯
Rvn was already a beast for psv
@@jaxnorthmusic7863 He wasn't a big star though. Trust me when I say hardly anyone knew who he was when he signed for United. Maybe part of that was that he had just come back from a massive injury layoff so literally no one had seen him for over a year and part of it was that there was no internet back then so we just didn't know or care that a guy was firing in the Dutch league unless it was Ajax because they were dominating Europe. Kluivert was a big star known around the world since he was a teenager. Ruud never had that kind of recognition until he started scoring for fun in the PL when he was in his mid 20's.
@SonnyK248 everybody knew him bro lol i knew him and i was about 13 at the time, u just had to watch alot of football.
@@jaxnorthmusic7863 where did you watch this football? 🤦♂️😂

Patrick kluivert hij was echt een held bij ajax
من أحسن رقم9 في العالم
Killing someone when around 18 didn't help either
BRo Patrick kluivert is a legend BRo what a brilliant striker he was very good in finishing and very skillful and his son is very good forward too Justin kluivert and his Patrick kluivert father was a very good football player too Kenneth kluivert he played for a very good football Club from Suriname to SV Robinhood because he is also from Suriname to so and I’m also from Suriname to soo big up to my country Suriname 🤴🏽😉🐐⚽️⚽️🏆🥇🔥🔥💙💙👌🏽🤘🏽🤙🏽🇸🇷🇨🇼🇳🇱💯✅
Amazing video
Great Video again
Players are appreciated abroad, but in the Netherlands Johan Derksen determines who is appreciated. (De Boer brothers)
Do a video on Bosman. The curse of Ajax
How New Castle wish to have a Player like that right now
A don’t like how he was feeling hard done by with fans and not taking into account that he is alive playing football earning amazing money but killed someone but he sees it not fair get abuse from fans. He took someone son father brother uncles life because he was living it up. He is well paid and still here so just take it and stop thinking it’s not fair and should not forget what he did or feel bad for him the star not the lost family member. Apart from that he was a good player. A want to know more about incident and if he helped affected family or just didn’t care
From what I could find, he said he tried to get in touch with the family but they were not interested so he wrote them a letter. However, the driver's wife said that it was such a small letter it was like his teacher had dictated it. I'm not sure if he had any further contact with them or helped them in any way.
💯💯
Found Kluiverts lack of comment on the guy who was killed in his speeding escapade to be a bit disturbing. It was all about him and how it effected him. Appreciate it's just a quote from what was probably a longer piece and he might have been a bit less narcissitic than the impression given here.
Indeed, the quotes were also taken from an article originally published in the Sunday MIrror so they may well have been trying to spin it to look that way as well. Here is the article if you want to take a look, he doesn't come across too well in it.

@@flashbackfootball1367 - thanks for the link. In the wiki article he's cited as denying responsibility despite being double the speed limit which isn't impressive. Disappointing.
I think if Sir Bobby hadn’t been sacked I think Paddy would have been way better at Newcastle
Ajax in 1994-1995 was like Barcelona Messi prime when all the clubs were trying to find a formula to stop them from winning
One of the best club teams ever for sure.
Excellent job. #$ubbed : )
Fckn infuries ... He is for me one of the best ever
🫡🫡😁
Don't you narrate wrestling?
I do not, maybe I have a voice-a-like out there..
@@flashbackfootball1367 gotta start a voiceover/narration gig fr 😂
And killed a person with reckless driving.
M*
Wait, He killed someone driving and he never went to jail. it just shows again that money talks
ah rememeber when he ran that guy over and killed him then got away with it... if he was a rubbish player he wouldnt have...and thats just how good he was.
He underperformed . Never a big fan of him.
He was van gaal favourite player at Barcelona & forced Rivaldo to play out of position despite Rivaldo scoring more goals & performance much better than him
Definitely not as great as I imagined in the past. I think his notoriety came largely from being part of that incredible Ajax/Dutch era, because those domestic career stats are far from impressive
Wait, he killed a man and got community service???
Should have gone to jail
So he was a murderer
He was SO overrated, if Van Nistelrooy had been an early bloomer instead of Kluivert, Netherlands would have won the Worldcup in 1998
For me, Kluivert was never that good - all farts but no shit...
Great video as always 😃
