Dimitar Berbatov

Has there ever been a player that has become so much more highly rated since retirement.

He’s treated by some fans as some sort of legend but in reality he was generally average at best.

He was great to watch at his very best but his best was seen far too rarely.

Had a decent spell at the start of the 10/11 season but even then he was benched well before the end of that season.

Why has Berbatov gained such a reputation as some sort of hero by some of our fans?

You don't need to watch all of it, just watch when the ball is belted across the pitch at him after 28 seconds, and tell me that's not magic

Anyone else think the goal at 0.51 is an over hit cross?

Definitely a double-plus player for United.

Nightmare to play against.

Bit annoying to the 'get stuck in der' grunts, but with the quality, integrity and intelligence of the players around him at the time he was a luxury to watch.

Berbatov was a genius.

Bergkamp was not better than Silva. Nostalgia is a disease

Not much in it, imo.

Pretty confident any list would have Bergkamp before Silva

I'd deffo say that Bergkamp was the better player. There isn't much in it, but Bergkamp edges it.
