    Fingers crossed Christian Eriksen will be same.

    Bout time too.

  2. ds. says:

    the back-heel on 3:45 is probably the most intuitive, skillful and generally brilliant pass i’ve ever seen.

    all the skill of zidane, but with more imagination, and could have been even better if he’d put in the same amount of effort.

  3. S-League Player says:

    Certainly would have won the Player of the Year award were he from a “bigger” European nation. No offense to Denmark.

  4. Tom Cruise says:

    I fucking love Michael Laudrup!

  5. fafaf says:

    Insanely good player, great video.

  6. MCE says:

    Stoichkov:”Laudrup was the greatest”
    Iniesta:”Who is the best player in history? Laudrup.”

  7. MCE says:

    Romário: “The best player I have ever played with”
    Raúl: “The best I have ever played with.”
    Zamorano: “Un genio!”, “The reason why I make so many goals, is Laudrup.”

  8. Montesquieu says:

    He was magnificent.

  9. Ubietz888 says:

    The Cruyff dream team is my absolute favourite team ever. Zubizarreta, Nando, Ferrer, Koeman, Juan Carlos, Bakero, Laudrup, Guardiola, Eusebio, Stoichkov & Julio Salinas. Special mention to Romario who destroyed it with Hristo up front.

  10. Ventilan says:
