I was too young to ever watch him but my relatives always tell me about how good he was.

The music is awful, so speakers off

He was the best French player ever, and I even admired him, and that says a lot....

Hehe. I would have loved to have been around to remember Platini v Maradona, instead of in my nappy.

yeah, they had some battles, but I think I rate Maradona a head of him.

Both were incredible.

If Platini won a WC then I think him and Maradona would be considered in the same class.

Arguably the best French player of the last 2 decades. Obviously b4 my time, but even as a Juve fan of this era u still know about him.

A class player, even better than Del Piero in terms of ability.

A Juventus legend.

You're talking about one of the greatest players of all time without a doubt. One of my fave world cups ever was 1986. I was very young, but it was a world cup packed with heros and great goals. There was a video made of it called Heros. If you can get your hands on it, DO IT! You'll get to see Platini, Lineker, Maradona, Butregueno, etc.
