One of the best attacking midfielders i've ever seen. Too bad he suffered a lot of injuries. Otherwise, i think he was as good as Iniesta, Zidane, Cruyff.
A lot of boys in Amsterdam are named after Jari.Jari became a kids name in Holland because of him.He is a legend in Amsterdam.....They LOVE and will never forget him!!!!!LITMANEN WOHO!!!!!!LITMANEN WOHO!!!!!! LITMANEN WOHO!!!!!!
Whenever I watch some Litmanen highlights, I can't stop grinning like an idiot. He's just so smooth, with a perfect touch. Pure class all the way! The King!
Litmanen on kyllä ansainnut legendan uransa. Uskomaton pelaaja. Jatelkaa! Suomalainen JALKAPALLo Legenda! Hän on suomelle yksi suurimmista kunnioista mitä meillä on. Tulee oikeen hymy suulle kun katsoo Litmasen pelaamista. (;
The Professor. Finnish King and my personal hero. Man this guy was so good, and I bet he still plays somewhere on a icy field in Finland! He loves the game too damn much!
Im a Ajax fan since van Basten played there, seen talents come and go but Litmanen still remains my favorite player. Underated perhaps not always getting the recognition he deserves but who cares. Those who have seen him play know how good he was. Absolute legend.
So nice to hear this my friend. His prime was so short, that's the main reason I think. He was so magical but some kids (people born late 90's and after) haven't even heard of him what it the biggest shame. Injuries :(
He would've been Liverpool legend if injuries didn't come to play.. Too bad he didn't have a change to repeat what he did in Ajax because it's a damn sure he would've did it otherwise. He's a Legend in my books and imho one of the greatest mid fielders ever, hands down. Without injuries.. ooowee! Get out the way, flying finn incoming!
El mejor jugador del mundo, saludos desde Uruguay! No hay jugador que se compare con Litmanen!! The best player in the world, greetings from Uruguay! There is no player to compare with Litmanen !!
Litmanen and Michael Laudrup feeding Arveladze was my first real taste of class in football. Was also the last season for a lot of players from that magical squad Ajax had. Good times.
I was still a youngster when Jari played for Ajax. He was a role model for me and made me a better player myself. He had a sort of elegance over him, that is hard to describe. Yeah he belongs to those up there, where it's lonely..
King Bensley yes I agree one of the best players I ever seen.if he was Brazilian he Will be still more recognised. in, ,some aspects he played like Pele : same vista and intelligence ,same abilities .and also great power in his game.he was away better than a lot of legends. .
Ik kom zelf ook uit die jaar Litmanen je bent nog altijd de koning der voetbal in Nederland en ook in het buitenland jari Litmanen je bent nog echt de koning waar ik naar kijk echt fantastische jaren waren dat
