You are a criminally underrated channel. Keep this up you’ll go far I’m sure. Unique and refreshing in football social media. I’d suggest a video on my Maltese compatriot, Michael Mifsud.

One of the reasons why we love the 90s football so much is that players were allowed to make mistakes/ take chances. Guardiola would kick you out of the team if you miss so many long shots and deep passes in a season as Veron did in those Boca seconds.

Only at the 20:00 mark but already thoroughly impressed by this one. You only seem to get better and this is one of your absolute best vids. The narration, the pacing, the personal notes, the imagery and the allround historical awareness are all simply top notch. Please keep it up, cause you deserve every view coming your way. You are making unique and great content. Love from a football fan from Amsterdam.



PS I never felt annoyed during the Dundee video about Gould, so ignore the critiques from your fellow countrymen. As a Sportinguista, I loved that one as well!!

Man, watching these guys, football was fun back then, don't get the same exciting feelings when I watch football of today, it has gone down.

[Midtable]

Excellent video! This has really made me re-evaluate my view on Verons time at Old Trafford, you forget how much of a Serie A beast midfielder he was.

Veron was a truly brilliant player, majestically gifted. Brilliant to watch, the type of player this generation of midfielder try to emulate. Being a United fan I loved it when he moved to united, a Great signing. But him and Keane in the same midfield just didn’t hit off, all of Veron’s better games were partnered with the likes of Nicky Butt, or P.Neville. Scholes set loose further forward behind Ruud. And Seba to run the show. One memorable moment for me was Veron’s perfect pass for Diego Forlan against Chelsea, to win 2-1 in (03) which opened the way to the title. Great memories of a football Legend, Seba Veron.

Veron is one of the greatest midfielders in football history. none of the ridiculous criticisms he received have any value. he was truly amazing

[achry]

speaking of the man utd transfer, its a habit of the British to make good players look bad even though they weren't that bad ... whereas they would always overhype some of their home grown talents

[revieboy]

Brilliant video, thanks for highlighting the quality of not just Veron but some of the players that have been forgotten about nowadays. If only the football of today was as exciting to watch

[nicmafia]

i think he was a good player for united. it was just difficult to integrate him into that midfield and that must of affected his confidence. imagine coming into work and seeing paul scholes, one of the best midfielders in the world, in your position and thinking how am i ever going to to be able to force my way into this side. Then the media turned on him, in my opinion in a subverted racist tone due to his argentinian heritage, harking back ill feelings regarding the conflict in the 1980's. i think fergie tried to integrate with 5 in midfield but it affected the balance of the side to much and hence the reason he was sold on. to say he was a flop is unfair. respeto desde inglaterra señor veron!!!

[tomlevick]

When he heard he'd been approached by man utd, he thought Sheffield United had come in for him, the English team he supported as a kid and family played for. Brilliant

[ianmurphy]

Those Parma and Lazio sides were other worldly at times. Veron was a worldie of a player there. The English media though did what they do

[Covekio]

Thank you, greetings from La Plata, Argentina!

[liamjones]

He was ridiculously good. He just didn't suit a great team already incredibly functional. But a mesmerising player. At Lazio especially.

[CharlesOffdensen]

Thank you for this video. People wonder why Veron was my favorite player at one point. This video explains it. (I loved Ortega, too.)
And yes, Parma had a dream team back then. That final vs Fiorentina... The kids today don't know real football.
25:00 both were also tenacious defenders. People seem to forget that.
Your videos are so good. The story is there, but also some actual footage.

[chefdeemusic]

i love this channel so much man. gives such a great insight and context for players and their careers who I never got to watch

[joshsykes]

Excellent channel. Very informative and entertaining. I'm a barnsley fan so my coverage is very EFL-Centric, however it's great to get an insight into topics surrounding the Scottish game as it helps us Tykes see where the likes of Nicky Cadden, Luca Connell and Conor McCarthy came from and how they were moulded into the players they are now

[CrozzymodoYT]

I always knew of Veron as a great player who couldn't cut it in the Prem but knew very little else. Really enjoyed this video very thorough and interesting with you sharing your own thoughts on him throughout. Look forward to watching you other content

[leesmusic]

Wow, truly stunned how good this documentary is, brilliant stuff about a brilliant player. One of my all time favourites of the nineties

Those late 90's early 2000's Lazio teams on Football Manager take me back. I was about 14 and always loved playing as Lazio. They had Peruzzi, Nesta, Mihajlović, Cuto, Sensini, Simeone, Nedvěd, Stanković, Verón, Claudio López, Salas, Crespo and even after them you had guys like Dino Baggio, Simone Inzaghi and Karel Poborský. It was a shocking amount of talent and it's a big what if of what they could have done if they'd stayed together. Nedved became the leader of a great Juventus team and he was behind Veron at Lazio. Nesta and Crespo were key pieces in Milan winning the CL in 2007. Stanković and Verón both played together in a very good Inter side. What could have been if they all just stayed together.
