Taribo was a great defender. Not everyone gets to play for both sides in Milan. Someone told me long time ago that even in training, Ronaldo always made sure Taribo was on his side. Probably to avoid the tackles😁

When Ronaldo get injured Taribo went every day to his home to pray on his leg. Little curiosity ☺️

A fun anecdote by Guy Roux, former coach of Auxerre now retired : Roux would always assign Taribo west to mark the best player of the opposite team, which was an absolute nightmare for all creative players in ligue 1 at the time, and thus, when roux discussed with Rai, former PSG's playmaker, the latter said that if he wasn't being a proffesional he would pretend to be sick everytime they had to face Auxerre, just so he doesn't have to face Taribo. And when Thierry is saying that he would follow people everywhere, he isn't exagerating, once the player he was supposed to mark was subbed off, taribo was thus immediatly subbed off as a tactical adjustment, and, still according to guy roux, taribo still followed him to his bench and sat next to him for a few minutes. That's dedication (or sadism, pick one.)

Back when it was man versus man...i miss the old, physical fighting type of football. Today everyone plays like Van Gaals Ajax or Peps Barca. Its all the same playing style ...

One of his team mates once said that after training, instead of joining the team bus, Taribo west would run after the bus to the hotel. At the hotel, you would see him running up and down the stairs for extra fitness. That's who he was.

I doubt very much prime Henry would have had as much trouble as a young Henry did against West. Tbf West had a superb game and did the right thing not letting Theirry get into his stride, cos if he did he was in serious trouble as we saw once in this video. I'm surprised to learn Henry didn't say his toughest opponent was Ledley King. Henry has always been full of praise for King. He was strong, fast and read the game superbly.

@alajndress 2 жыл бұрын

Ledley King isn’t in the conversation for top underrated defenders in football history. West is.

@rickenfatania 2 жыл бұрын

Henry said King was the only defender who could tackle him consistently without fouling him. Due to King's condition, he could only observe training and maintain his fitness (like swimming). The fact he could remain a professional at all is remarkable - never mind being competitive at the highest level.

Taribo played in both Milan teams when Serie A had all the stars, and played at 3 world cups. Ledley couldn’t lace his boots.
