I was watching some all-time XI’s by former footballers and analysists and was asking to myself: “Did football start in the 90’s for these people?”
I understand that people will always be biased towards the players that they got to experience and have an attachment to, but do you think that players from the old era like Eusebio, Rivera, Meazza, Di Stefano, Etc… are underrated compared to modern legends?
For me personally I understand how great these guys were. But being born in 1990 means I didn’t get to see them play the way I get to see modern players play every week twice a week every season. All I have to go off of for Pele, Eusebio etc are stats and YouTube clips. So if I compile a top 10/20/100 list of players I’m lying to myself if I put these guys at the top because I’ve never seen them and can’t compare if you know what I mean 🤷🏻♂️
