Jamboross98 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Roberto Baggio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjj1PksMOco Gianfranco Zola http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6b71ooeBRo Del Piero I could never decide between these guys, although I loved them all, who was best? IMO it would be Del Piero, Baggio then Zola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Ross Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think even Zola and Del Piero's Mum know the answer to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop1874 Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 probably Baggio, always admired Del Piero's loyalty though. 100k a week probably helps though. Whilst on the subject of Italians, can anyone name three or more Italians whose name does not end in a vowel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KisLas Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Was gonna vote for Zola but then saw his goal against Lithuania in the clip and voted for Baggio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst on the subject of Italians, can anyone name three or more Italians whose name does not end in a vowel. Zoff, Buffon, Vierchowod... Baggio is the best quite comfortably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Ewing Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I would say Del Piero but that is down to my age and because I'm a Juventus fan I have seen Del piero play more than the others. All are world class and I have always admired the loyalty of Del Piero espically after what happened to Juve and aslo zola's loyalty turning down chelsea to play for a small club in Italy.

Heaven98 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Never saw the others play in the flesh but I watched Zola regularly at the Bridge for five seasons before we moved out here and he was an unbelievable player. Up there with the very best I've been fortunate to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flogel98 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I voted Zola as I think he was the most naturaly gifted but in reality, both Del Piero and Baggio produced more at national level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieG Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Gianni Rivera in the 60s and 70s was better than any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmiyaHearts Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 probably Baggio, always admired Del Piero's loyalty though. 100k a week probably helps though. Whilst on the subject of Italians, can anyone name three or more Italians whose name does not end in a vowel. Pietro Vierchowod Dino Zoff Gianluigi Buffon damn too late. I'll add Morgan De Sanctis to the list and also the Paganin brothers who played for Inter, Massimo and Antonio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Drago Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 My mate tried to say Zola was better than Baggio. Its not even a contest, the Divine Ponytail is miles better. Zola doesnt come close. Del Piero in his prime maybe, but i'd still go for Baggio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
