[Sule]

Was quite the legend

respect is due where respect is due

[Buckwheat156]

haha even dead people only get a minute of silence hes only retired. reminiscing watching some of his old videos on youtube... still sad

[gufreestyle96]

greatest pure finisher/goalscorer of his generation.

Top 4:
1) Ronaldo
2) Van Nistelrooy
3) Raul
4) Inzaghi

LOL man,
Izaghi WTF, have a lot of Strikers better than his.

[jabarinho]

why not inzaghi? I'm not talking about overall ability with speed, dribbling, strength, passing vision etc. I mean PURE finishers who know how to score goals.
Yes I know guys like messi, tevez, rooney, henry, eto'o are very good but inzaghi still has more goal scoring ability than all of them. He is 2nd top scorer in Champions league history and scored goals for fun in Italian league for countless years. He is a legend......Super Pippo!!!

[gufreestyle96]

Yeah, i agree, he's not skillful player but he's make a lot of goals.

[2zef^^]

Every fun of football must be sad now for that.

jabarinho what about shevchenko?

[jabarinho]

oh i forgot about shevchenko He is about the same level as inzaghi, but Pippo has been consistent over a longer period of time. Sheva's career crashed at the age of 31 when he became one of Chelsea's biggest flops of all time Actually one of EPL's biggest flops of all time. While super pippo was still banging in the goals at age 37.
If sheva didn't get that bad injury when he was 31 he would probably be still scoring goals. Similar to Michael Owen's injury crisis.

Morientes used to be a good striker too when he was playing for Madrid and Monaco 

[jabarinho]

Indeed, Morientes was good. But I won't give him the same legendary status as Raul, R9, Pippo or RVN.
Morientes is on the same level as guys like Fowler, Owen, Andy Cole etc.
