Van Basten was one of the top 5 strikers of the game.. nobody realizes this today.. His stint with Netherlands and Milan during 87 - 94 was the best for a striker of that generation... He was unbelievable... sadly retired at 27.

Omg that's so impressive about Maldini. 4 v 11 and the they could not score against them. Wow. Please get Maldini on interview soon.

[@SonnyK248]

He wasn't underappreciated outside England. He maybe the best English player ever. Best passer for sure. I've never seen a man pass a ball like him ever. So many times a keeper would lump it up field and he'd hit a perfect 40 yard pass off the volley! And he has less England caps than Phil Neville...

Well that was England for you. The same country that played Paul Scholes (arguably the best midfielder to grace the PL) as a wide midfielder. I feel that these smaller, technical players are a lot more appreciated in England now though.

Gullit won the FA Cup, Hughton promoted 2 teams and got Brighton to the an FA Cup Final. Nuno gets Wolves promoted and qualifies them for Europa League last 16. Paul Ince and Sol Campbell save two teams certain for relegation before they took over in the fourth division Darren Moore highest win percentage of any WBA manager in the last 15 years and still fired.

Don't buy junk food when shopping, buy fruit, veg and nuts that you like as snack food. After just two weeks you will not be so interested in junk. Cook interesting tasty recipes. Make plenty of meat and veg, they are very low fat and meat is very filling so you won't snack as much. Exercise. Find a class you enjoy.
