Paolo Maldini

[nsno-chris]

The Nathan Patterson thread is being derailed by @Charlie Sweet poor take on the great Paolo Maldini

Please link your findings in here Charlie. I want to see all these managers who didn’t rate Mr Maldini, including, IIRC, Alex Ferguson who you said laughed at the prospect of signing him

Patto will come good.

Only Hibbo comes close to Maldini

Nothing on Cuco Martina.

Played almost as many career games at centre half than at left-back so anyone saying "crap attacking" etc. just never watched him and understood the type of full-back he was.

Not bad at the togger I thought.

Pretty much just a shorter Branthwaite really.

Good player, he also played with some very good defenders as well that helped him, Baresi, Costacurta, Panucci, Costacurta, Tassotti, Rijkarrd, Nesta and Desailly of the top of my head.

That's a lot of names that go next to one constant. Maybe he helped them.
