| Narc's 10 Favorite Soccer Players EVER - #2 MICHEL PLATINI ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Michel Platini, grandson of an Italian immigrant, was born at Joeuf in 1955 and began with Nancy, where his father was coach. He played in the 1976 Olympics and that year made his full international debut, against Czechoslovakia. In 1979 after scoring 98 goals in seven years with Nancy, Platini moved to AS St. Etienne. In 1982, Juventus paid £1.200.000 for him and his goals helped win three Italian titles in four years as well as European honours. He skippered France to the 1984 European Championship, his nine goals including two hat-tricks, taking him past Fontaine's overall French record. In 1985 he won his third European Footballer Of The Year award and converted the penalty which beat Liverpool in the ill-fated European Cup final. Platini played in three World Cups from 1978. In 1982 he helped France to fourth place and in 1986 they finished third and Platini at last showed his true class. In August 1987 he played for The Rest Of The World against the Football League at Wembley and then retired, after 72 caps and 41 goals, to concentrate on his vast business empire. However after France failed to qualify for the 1990 World Cup, Platini took over as team manager. It was his first coaching job in football. | ||||||||||||||

| An incredible player Narc. I saw him playing in the 1984 European Championships where, in the five games to win the tournament he scored nine goals. Really stunning footballer and a very intelligent person too. | |||||||||||||||

| The truth is, he never won the WC and therefor he has been overlooked. But the truth is, he might be greatest player. He dominated the Italian League and won 3 times in a row the best player award and the goal scoring award. He had won the WC, everyone would be talking about him. | ||||||||||||||

| Bulldog, I think you're being a tad harsh on ol' Michel.. He is always recognised as one of the greatest footballers of all time. In every chart, in every nostalgic look back at players of yore.. so I don't see what you're getting at. | ||||||||||||||

| I didn't mean it like that - you just said that he's never recognised, that he's under-rated.. that's what I was getting at. I saw that you said he was awesome. That's 'cos he was ;) | ||||||||||||||
