Adel Taarabt: The "Lazy" Bad-Boy Who The Streets Can't Forget!

[@Ismail-k7q3t]

first plz pin

[@abogas1641]

So glad I was able to watch him at QPR. Still one of the most skilful football players I’ve ever seen. Will never be forgotten. Up there with the best. Shepherd’s Bush and White City will never forget. We are QPR.

[@food-eater-2929]

At the end of day, a player's output is measured by their impact on fans. By that metric, Taarabt is a success.

[@alexandremoreira7694]

I remember when he came to benfica, it was kinda frustrating because he came with some fame and we were pretty annoyed with him but it was lovely seeing him play for us and the mentally he had in the later years was very much appreciated by all of us benfica fans

[@giodhuha6771]

The streets will never forget Prime Adel Taarabt.

[@landarzt1331]

Always a joy to see you upload. Great video as always!

[@theretroroute]

Appreciate the support!

[@oliverbrown4651]

Quality video as always. Adel was truly mesmerizing on the ball, a real sensation.

[@kriswheeler5686]

I feel bad for him, he was such a legend for us at QPR he must of had real idiots around him in important positions for him to continually make the same mistakes

[@maxilopez1596]

As a Spurs fan this one still hurts. I used to scream at redknapp to give this kid more of a go.

[@Ali-zy2qj]

I love it, Retroroute! Keep on scorin' bangers.

[@conky83]

Great video as always.

[@conanberry4833]

Great video!!

[@SonnyK248]

I always thought maybe the most talented players Spurs had in the late 2000's were Adel Tarrabt, Giovanni dos Santos and Kevin Prince Boateng. If those three had the right mentality and reached their potential then Spurs would have been some team. They already had guys like Modric, Bale, van der Vaart, Defoe, Crouchy and Aaron Lennon. And there were even other players there like David Bentley and John Bostock who were tipped for stardom but flopped massively. it just seemed like that kind of place at the time.

[@Poigmothoin]

Great video

[@theretroroute]

Thanks!

[@rakim126]

The script had me laughing at times. Lovely.

[@joellewilliams5852]

Awesome video , Lee Trundle next ? 😂

[@LegitSarchie]

Streets won’t forget QPR Adel Taraabt man

[@darth_uber3835]

Gardner's reaction at 1:44, man😂😂😂

[@moerocco775]

What an incredible player and what a character. No small career either. And to say like this video does that his dreams to play for the top Spanish clubs (as Moroccans often do due to how popular Real and Barca are in Morocco) were somehow deluded 'fantasies' is uncharitable. You can bet at some point even those clubs at least took notice of what he was doing when he was lighting the game up.

[@crystalencore91]

The streets will never forget is an overused cliché, but Adel was the last of a dying breed.

[@michaelmcfadden4397]

I heard 'something in the way' by Nirvana at 13:00 in this video and it suits the story of this guy. I doubt the editor knew the name of the song when he or she used a creative commons licence for the music but it fits the video perfectly.

[@AHZUH]

RR x AT ??? Fantastic surprise to kick off the weekend.

[@TangaTanga-s4n]

لولا المزاج السيء لكان أحد أفضل أساطير الكرة عبر التاريخ..للأسف موهبة لا تستحق هذه النهاية السيئة

[@Andre-eo4xe]

can you please do a video on Sir alex building his last great united team united 2006-2011

[@theretroroute]

I'd love to explore that period. Got plenty on the way but I'll add it to the list!

[@papapur]

talent without hard work is nothing!

[@danabrahams7892]

The ending narrative is what all idiots in football say: wasted etc, what if. He will be remembered simple as that, will you?

[@jesseteodoro8836]

13:37, does anybody have any idea how technical this skill is, and this dude was pulling it off like it was nothing.

[@sheffdeen]

He is one of the best example of how a young talented player with all the skillset that their own EGO destroys! By destroying I mean Taarabt could have been way better than what we know him to be.

[@Altin-s7s]

I know this is off topic but what is the song you play in your intro and great vid btw

[@kelvinosas6518]

I think the music in btw is that of the remix of don toliver's song

[@MehadiIslam-fq8fn]

street won't forget how good he was

[@Melo_7_Leo]

I love your content pls make a video on neymar or R9

[@theretroroute]

Thanks! I was thinking of doing a 2or3 part video series about R9 so that's certainly something to look forward to. For Neymar, I'm, sure I will one day but check out my MSN video in the meantime: he obviously features for a bit.

[@realreinerbraun]

Certified Streets won't forget baller🔥

[@Jr00888]

All down to the manager. We wouldn’t be talking about him still almost 15 years later if it wasn’t for Neil warnock. He understood why no managers would play him so he did the opposite of what them managers did, let him play the way he felt free. Without Neil Warnock and the rest of the team submitting to this he wouldn’t be the king of the streets that we acknowledge him today as and thats a fact. Yes the fairytale will eventually end but after that goat season in 2011 he got worse and thats why he had his downfall. Its sad to see but he has himself to blame. He destroyed his own career. However he will always be a QPR legend and probably the best we’ve ever seen at loftus road!

[@altarant]

Taarabt had the potential to be the next ronaldinho at Barca or real, a shame it never happened

[@qprcole]

QPR play in HOOPS not stripes. other than that a good piece.

[@g4ngarow]

Plz do a vid on ginola!

[@soulsaproductions2024]

What league is the BPL? I’ve lived in the UK for well over 30 years and I’ve never heard this term before.

[@theretroroute]

Barclays Premier League, bit of a nostalgic acronym

[@AtTheBridgePod]

There’s a reason he was drafted first overall in our Players The Streets Won’t Forget Draft

[@samadinho6792]

Adil taarabt 🔥🇲🇦

[@PODTIER]

I MUST KNOW THAT INSTRUMENTAL SOFTLY IN THE BACKGROUND.

[@lehlohonolosimphiweneoxaba369]

What is the outro song ?

[@harleyokeefe5193]

Taarabt is the best "streets won't forget" player ever

[@12thMandalorian]

He was drafted first on the latest At The Bridge Pod episode for Streets Won’t Forget 🙌🏻

[@nserekokiwalabye8662]

I'm Still Pissed Off When AC Milan Didn't Taarabt Permanently🥲W Video, BTW!

[@ZxrAlienWarrior]

QPR LEGEND ALWAYS

[@danabrahams7892]

Bets player live I have ever seen in the Hoops. I add live, as Stan was better, but Adel was fantastic - imbeciles ruined his career at The Home of Football

[@southbeach1978]

Nutmeg king

[@electrician1602]

Taarabt’s too good for you.

[@DanCassidy-o4g]

If Harry couldn't get a tune out of him then wow😮

[@MM-yf9ul]

He could have been as good as Ronaldo. Awesome talent.

[@alexkrycek3359]

“Demotion”? You mean relegation

[@bibauu]

[@CovKid2K10]
