i was gonna mention that. Dunno about better than gazza though, may be a tad over the top!!
How much did you see of him? He was fantastic when playing for both Red Star Belgrade & Marseille. Had an amazing eye for a pass & ball control. Gazza for me had two good tournaments, but his skills were greatly overestimated due to the fact English football was lacking in flair players at the time. He only really played well for 3 teams, Newcastle, Spurs & Rangers & the problem there is that at that time, all of those leagues were quite weak. He was absolute shit in his time in Italy.

I'll admit he had two good tournaments in Italia 90 & Euro 96, but I feel his skills are drastically overrated. Plus if the cunt had kept himself fit, he might have actually reached that ball across the six yard box against Germany in the semi at Wembley.
