He was pushed beyond all reason from the age of 17. He was performing, out witting, and out powering fully grown men when he was still a child! He was so good that almost all injuries were forceably played through using means that would be frowned upon in most parts.

If he were here today in the premiership at 18 years of age, and played as hard as he was, they'd be a lynch mob out to get the said club.

Put simply the Power/Pace/Strenght/Finishing ability, are truly unrivalled throughout the game.

Ronaldo in his prime

As Fast as Henry but with Pele like explosiveness.

Most powerful/strongest striker you’ll ever seen

Better Balanced than Diego Maradonna

As skilful on the ball as Zidane

As deft a finisher as Batistuta

I knew something was up when a 17 year old scored 55 goals in 57games 1994

An utter genius. He was miles ahead of any other player in the world when he got his first bad injury. He was barely past 20 and never got to reach his peak. Can you imagine what his peak would have been like had he not got that injury? Scary.
Bobby Robson said that at his prime there wasn't a defender in history that could compete with him.
