Paolo Maldini won the CL and the Best Defender in the CL aged 39 how the fuck he's not there!

For all of you asking for Zisu I don't really think he ended his career at high. I mean think about it his last game was the 2006 wc final and we all know what happened there):

all the respect for your shirt! i was 5years old when that shirt came out! Afc Ajax in 1995 was the reason i still love this game to day! i thanked you earlier in a post, but thank you agian! for bringing the respect for my favorite club, we dutch dont have alot of reasons to smile these days when it comes to europe, but i warms my heart that a football fan across the sea, i think that we are the same age, has the respect and nows the history of the most beautiful club in the history of the game #14❤

please keep doing what youre doing.

Still don't understand how Thierry Henry never won the ballon d'or.

Can you do the alternate video as well. Great players who should have retired sooner or shouldn't have made moves at their career. Gerrard, Pirlo, Del Pierro,

[fssshhh]

surely cantona should be on the list? 5 championships in his last 5 full seasons as a professional (including 2 doubles!)

[maskerao]

I would have added Cantona... he was only 31 I think... other than that I love this channel... Keep up the good work and also I love the fact that the presenters wears the nicest retro shirt and also I've noticed a distinctive love for the old Serie A, the one that used to be the best league in the world, with seven teams constantly fighting for the title...

[crispendaysh]

There's so many class players that should have made that list

[guimagsantos]

I think Vitor Baía deserved a mention... Great career and his last season he won the Champions League, championship and league cup, with Mourinho's FC Porto... And goalkeeper of the Champions League eleven (2004)

Love the Ajax shirt. Had it when I was a kid. Where did you get it from ?

[charlietopping]

If I ever become a footballer I would retire at 35 plus no less! Great video

[Name-tntb]

Great video! Do a squad of top players who had 1 really bad season! E.g hazard
