Underrated great players

[Craig_H]

Aye, Matthaus was great.

To be fair, Inter's German trio of Matthaus, Klinsmann and Brehme were all brilliant, but probably outshone by Milan Dutch lads. Klinsmann, along with Batistuta, remains up there as one of the best finishers/goalscorers i've ever had the priviledge to see. Born to score goals, those two. Just superb.
