Finidi ! a great player/winger ! His speed was top notch ! Very silky player ! His goal against Greece in 94 World cup was top notch. Him and Amunke use speed destroy the Greece defence line for that goal sha !

Great players fare;y become good coaches. It’s the player that’s stuck on bench sitting next to the coach who becomes a good coach.
OCCUPY NFF!!

Finidi was for a few years best right winger in the world when he played for that great Ajax team.

That was embarrassing. Tbh, both of them deserved slaps. I'll understand if it was Ronaldo or Figo's jersey, but Pepe?

Re: Finidi George vs Barcelona (1997 Cup Final)
Not sure if he was the best in the world but he was definitely in the top 3-5 (Finidi played in the same era as Beckham, Luis Figo, and Overmars).
It is incredible that Tijani Babangida (a winger with terrifying pace) did not have a lengthy international career because his career overlapped with Finidi (who in his time was the best crosser in the world not called David Beckham).

Finidi at hus prime was better than Beckham and was at par with Figo. Did you see what he did in the 1995 UCL?wiseone wrote: ↑Mon Jun 24, 2024 10:53 am Not sure if he was the best in the world but he was definitely in the top 3-5 (Finidi played in the same era as Beckham, Luis Figo, and Overmars).

Re: Finidi George vs Barcelona (1997 Cup Final)
Are you referring to the same (Luis) Figo who won the European Footballer of the Year award, Ballon D'or, was the most expensive player in history, won La Liga 4 different times, won Serie A 4 different times, played for Barcelona and Real Madrid, and who won the Champions League, European Cup Winners Cup, UEFA Super Cup, and World Club championship?...
