At first, it might seem like people are exaggerating about Harry Kane, but when you think about it, there's a good argument that he could be the best player without a trophy. Kane is the only player in the top 20 Premier League goal scorers who hasn’t won a single trophy. It’s uncommon for someone as successful as him not to have at least one cup or some kind of silverware. Many players end up winning a trophy, even if it's just as a substitute. The only other player I can think of is Marco Reus, who didn’t win a big trophy until he was 28. Comparing Kane and Reus is tough because they play in different ways. But Reus did win two Bundesliga Player of the Season awards and made five straight Team of the Year appearances before finally winning a cup in 2017. I remember how sad it was when he missed the 2014 World Cup due to injury, he was such an exciting player to watch back then. Then there’s Stanley Matthews, who didn’t win a trophy until he was almost 40 when he won the FA Cup with Blackpool. Back then, Matthews was seen as the greatest English player ever, changing the way people played on the wing and later winning the first Ballon d'Or. Even the player on my profile pic never won a league title, so to keep him happy I made him a United player. If can't beat them, join them.
@@nifemi_o exactly, he lost England the World Cup by not scoring the penalty against France ,I could at least say Baggio carried Italy to the final before he missed that pen but Harry Kane never did no carrying, Lucous modus took Tottenham to the final and Harry Kane ghosted again
Heung Min Son. He came from Bayer Leverkusen to Tottenham Hotspurs. Both club known for never winning a trophy. He plays for south korea who should be title favourite for asian cup but never won anything with the country except the under 23 asian games.
Ironic as it maybe, the Harry Kane's curse allowed Bayer Leverkusen to win the Bundesliga for the very first time in club's history, something that Michael Ballack didn't achieve when he was at Bayer Leverkusen. It was called the "Vizekusen" or "Bayer Neverkusen" curse. Best of all, they did this without suffering a single defeat throughout the season (though the unbeaten streak in Bundesliga was finally ended with a recent loss against Leipzig).
it wasn't even the Harry Kane curse tbh Bayern did as well as they did in seasons before Bayer just had a perfect season that was better than Bayern ever had
Paolo Maldini is a particulalry bitter pill. As an Italian, we had to wait out his entire career as an international player for the national team before we won anything. and who was the MVP in 2006 when we won the world cup? Arguably, it was Fabio Grosso, the left back. The man who played in Maldini's position. He 'won' the penalty against Australia in the dying embers of a game we looked like we were going to lose, scored the first in extra time against Germany in the semi's and score the winning spot kick in the final.
Maldini sat out because he was embarrassed by his previous performances and thought they didn't need him and said skipping 2006 was the biggest regret of his career. He's already the greatest defender to ever lace em up, but he would've been top 10 of any position if he won it. At least he has other titles to hang his hat on.
@@spongeaang98 imagine being one of the best players in the world to ever play, being among the best at the time and sitting out of the biggest tournament in sport because you thought your team would be better off without you and then be proven right in a sense when they win. That must be quite a mixture of feeling
The video started promisising but at the end the mentoning of maldini and Cruyff doesnt make any sense. There are Lots of world class Players that never won any trophies with their national Team...
Le Tiss & Cantona were fantastic for the early Prem years. It was still long ball Football till the late 90s but those two were special players to watch
I tried to find German players that fit the criteria but it's very hard. Here are some that come close: - Uwe Seeler and Christian Wörns ("only" 1 championship and 1 cup in Germany) - Marco Reus and Klaus Fischer ("only" 2 cups in Germany) - Klaus Fichtel ("only" 1 cup) - Eike Immel and Manfred Burgsmüller ("only" 1 championship) - Ulf Kirsten ("only" 2 cups and championships in East-Germany)
Fischer and Fichtel were great players who kept a high level of play over a very long time. However, out of the list provided, Seeler is probably the most talented.
Radja Nainggolan hasn't won any team trophy yet, despite playing for Roma, Inter Milan and the Belgian national team. Maybe I am biased since I'm Italian but I think he was one of (if not the best) midfielders in Serie A between 2015 and 2018
But he does have two top flight league titles, one Serie A with Inter and a Belgian League with Antwerp... I your argument's defence he only contributed a combined 16 appearences in these two titles, and he was out of both clubs before they won, but still, he got the winner's medal 😅
Michael Ballack might have won domestic trophies with Kaiserslautern, Bayern and Chelsea, but on the international stage he's probably one of the unluckiest players ever,. In 2002 he lost the UCL final with Leverkusen (after losing both the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal). Afterwards he carried Germany (with Oliver Kahn carrying them as well) to the World Cup semifinals, got booked and scored a heroic winning goal, but missed the final due to the yellow card he received in the semifinal. Germany lost the final without their best outfield player. In 2006 he came short of another World Cup trophy after his midfield partner Frings got an undeserved red card after a brawl following the quarter finals against Argentina. Without their midfield anchor Germany lost the semifinal against Italy and missed the final in their own country. In 2008 he played his second UCL final with Chelsea, but they lost at penalties to Manchester United after John Terry slipped at the decisive penalty and missed. This didn't stop him from taking Germany to another final, this time the European finals after scoring decisive goals in the final group stage match and quarter final, but lost to Spain. In 2009 he came short of another possible UCL final, this time due to questionable decisions favoring Barcelona who went on to win the UCL final against Manchester United. In 2010 he missed his last chance of winning the World Cup due to an injury after a brutal foul from Kevin Prince Boateng in the FA Cup final, which ultimately ended his career at the national team as well, nearly missing out on the 100 games mark and ending his career two years later at Leverkusen
In 2006 I don't think Germany would have beaten Italy even with Frings, Italy were just a better team all around than Germany. His biggest chance of winning an international title was the Champions League with Chelsea, if Drogba was not sent off against United he would've taken the last pen, not Terry, and knowing Drogba he would probably score.
So it is Harry Kane. 3 mins into the video they start suggesting players who have won a trophy, then players who won almost everything but internationals. Great work Tifo. Preferred you before the Athletic money.
Di Natale was probably better than Kane, and it's also a more valid answer and Kane is still playing and has time to win trophies. So you basically watched the video and understood nothing from it
@@surpriserakins9067every non Anglo has had at least one wife or girlfriend leave them for an Anglo it’s the only explanation for the non stop saltiness

I have to correct myself. There actually are some famous German players that fit the criteria: Bernd Schneider, Oliver Neuville, Carsten Ramelow and Jens Nowotny - all of Bayer Leverkusen fame.
Le Tissier was magical to watch, and just plain loyal to the club that gave him his career. Still in my top five players of all time, and I’m from Boscombe. And with only one penalty not hitting the back of the net, the greatest ever penalty taker of all time. That’s at least one accolade he can claim.
Socrates, despite not winning a single trophy with Brazil, might be one of the most loved and biggest icons of Brazil. Always more than a great footballer 🌸
Harry Kane is arguably the best player ever seen to not win a single team trophy. Easily. It's actually remarkable. Stan Collymore not winning a trophy after playing at Forest, Villa and Liverpool (all teams who won major trophies in this era) it's extremely unlucky, but Kane being so consistent and so good, and still not winning anything is bizarre.
On my Sheffield-born grandfather's behalf, I'll nominate Jimmy Hagan. Jimmy Armfield (Blackpool), Wilf Mannion (Middlesbrough) and Neil Franklin (Stoke City, Santa Fe de Bogota, Hull City) were also highly distinguished players who didn't win any major trophies with their clubs. (They did all win the British International Championship with England, as did Finney and Haynes, which meant more then than it would if the competition were contested today.)
Jimmy Armfield was also part of our winning world cup squad in 1966 & he won the third division with Bolton but didn't win a home championship. Tom Finey won the British Home Championship 10 times as well as the Second Division with Blackpool. Jimmy Hagan, Neil Franklin & Wilf Mannion are good shouts though
Hagan did not have the chance to win a British Championship, because his one official international cap was awarded for a friendly against Denmark. He did, however, play in several wartime internationals, including the celebrated 8-0 win against Scotland.
Son Heung Min definitely has to be part of the conversation, not to downplay his Asian Games medal with Korea’s U23 team, but the man is by far deserving of a far more decorated trophy cabinet. Not even a Spurs fan but I hope they can lift a domestic cup or a Europa League for Sonny’s sake. 🥲 Never forget when he cooked, marinated, and served Sarri’s Chelsea at Wembley.
And yet, people still blamed the manager as a reason of South Korea's failure on winning the Asian Cup. Especially the most recent one, where the team was managed by former German coach Jurgen Klinsmann, and somehow lost to Jordan...
@@olivertir2491 He already did this with Germany and the USMNT coach long time ago, even though there were notable success such as finishing 3rd in 2006 World Cup with Germany and reaching the semifinal in Copa America Centenario with the USMNT.
@@ezraezra2928 let me tell you as a german. Klinsmann sucks! He had a lot of luck with us 2006. Home wm and jogi löw in the back. Just a motivator this dude but thinks he is the messiah. USA is one of the two best teams in the concacaf. He failed hardcore with south korea and it was his fault. This dude is just garbage as a coach!
@@Simon-tl5vt Oh, and the Germans still remember that even though the country had a historic run in 2006 World Cup as a host, the results before that tournament was far from expectations. I mean that in some lesser friendlies where the Germans should have won very convincingly, they struggled a lot. Not to mention, before the World Cup, Germany had their worst finish in FIFA Rankings (22nd, I think) as a result of poor results in friendlies, including a 1-4 loss over Italy (the same team that also ended Germany's dream later in the World Cup and went on to win the entire thing). Last, but not least, they got grouped in Euro 2004, finishing 3rd behind Czechia and the Netherlands without even grabbing a single win throughout the group stage.
You mentioned Bayer Leverkusen but not Bernd Schneider??? He was an amazing player, his Brazilian teammates used to joke that he is not German but actually Brazilian (because of his technical abiltiies) and in the context of this video - never won a trophy.
So crazy Maldini is in the international list. His country lifted on 2006 and he was still brilliant at club level, but he retired a few years back from international duties.
Adrian Mutu is a good shout as well. He won the Romanian league at the beginning of his career but technically both his serie a trophies were stripped. So he has won no major trophies unless you count the Romanian league.
I'm pretty sure for all the goals he scored Malcolm MacDonald didn't win a single trophy throughout the 70s, was a cup final runner up on a few occasions and only scored 7 times for England but 5 of those was in one game.
Would also put Son on the list. Yes there was the Asian Games but that's not really a recognized trophy, thats like winning football gold at athletics European Championships if it was a thing.
Especially Guerrero. If he had been born just a couple of years earlier, Athletic was a major power in the 80s, having won 2 league titles, 1 Spanish Cup and 1 Supercup.
TBF players like Haynes, Le Tis and Finney chose loyalty over trophies. Even if they were ‘too good’ for said teams. But that deserves as much if not more respect than a big trophy cabinet
I’ll give you two names. Germán Dévora. Greatest ever UD Las Palmas player. He played during the 60s and 70s, when Las Palmas was a powerhouse in La liga, qualifying to UEFA Cup and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quite a few times, but never reaching the finals. The closest he and Las Palmas got to a trophy was in 68 and 69 finishing third and second in the league, as well as a Copa del Rey final in 78, lost against Barcelona. He remains highest ever goalscorer for Las Palmas in La Liga despite being a midfielder, as well as a Spanish International. The other is Tony Currie. Sheffield United’s greatest ever player. A delight to the eye, played as a number 10 during the 70s and 80s. Played for Leeds United and QPR too, as well as for the England National team.
Juan Roman Riquelme did win a gold medal in Beijing 2008, and was part of the last team to win a final against Real Madrid. He should definitely not be in the list
Neither the Olympics nor the Club World Cup are major trophies. It’s bizarre to me how South Americans, especially Argentinians and Uruguayans, pretend like the Club World Cup is the most important trophy in club football, and brag about winning it as if they aren’t aware that the Europeans don’t care about the trophy and put in about half the effort into winning it.
@@hitthurdeaux the title says "never win a trophy". Both the Olympics and the Club World Cup are trophies (and I'm not even counting the Libertadores Riquelme won). I never said the Club World Cup is the most important trophy, just said Boca Juniors was the last team to me able to defeat Real Madrid. And AFAIR, Real Madrid was not playing with subs, it was the full galácticos.
@@hitthurdeauxI'll give you the olympics, as it's not the highest level and no top country ever picks it's full strength squad. The club world cup absolutely counts tho, bro. If the "carabao cup"... Is considered a legit trophy, when the biggest teams barely take it seriously At ALL until the semi/final itself, and even then they often don't go full strength... Then the club world cup is definitely at the very least on the same level. Qualifying teams (Including the European teams...) tend to go full strength and try very hard to win it
Di Natale is the most underrated footballer of all time there was a period of time when only Messi and Ronaldo were outscoring him and that was when they were at the peak of their powers
It still baffles me how people never mention Signori when it comes to 90s Serie A strikers, and it‘s probably only due to the fact that he never won a trophy. Not only was he the leading scorer at a time when the likes of Van Basten, Sosa, Batistuta, Balbo, Baggio, Vialli, Mancini, Lentini, Massaro or Papin were in their prime (and del Piero, Inzaghi and Bierhoff slowly rising through the ranks), but he also appeared high in the scoring lists during the other seasons. The only thing that held him back were injuries (Lazio still had sort of a sane transfer policy at the time he played there).
I think winning a Bronze world cup medal with 🇹🇷 should have been mentioned as part of Başturk's highlights. Because that is the mother of all over achievements
Although he was a great player his champions league performances were subpar , he got 49 goals in CL whilst playing for almost 2 decades a guy like haaland has 41 in 39 for reference
Paolo Maldini has the worst luck with international football I think he even said he felt haunted lmao. If I remember he lost in 1990s to penalties to Argentina in semi-finals (I think they at least got Bronze), lost to Brazil in 1994 to penalties after keeping a clean sheet, lost in 1998 in the quarter finals to France on penalties, in the 2000 Euros they were seconds away from winning when France tied and then France won with the golden goal, and in 2002 world cup they had the Bryan Moreno referee incident, Totti's red card controversy and lost on golden goal in R16. It's quite unfortunate given Paolo was genuinely one of the best defenders, and also one of the best players I've ever seen but fortunately even without a world cup or a balon de oro people still acknowledge his efforts and contributions nowadays which makes me glad. I think Italy also inducted him into the hall of fame 2nd after Baggio which is cool. Sometimes the best don't win it all.
Finney is a greater player than Kane. Finney is the second greatest winger in English history. Kane barely can fit into the top 5 English strikers in history.
@@harshiljuneja7731this is a complete re-write of history. not only was there a whole other goal that was scored by Chelsea in that match, but it was the draw against Palace that really killed the title off
@@matthewbanton7077 This. As a Liverpool fan I also agree that it was the Palace draw that did it. Gerrard's slip was always the focal point because well, it was Gerrard. Haters just like to pile on him.
What about Gary Lineker, he never won a major english league title during his time and also he never won the champions league but comes second in the 1986 Ballon d'Or
Magico Gonzalez didn't win anything did he? Amazing player who sabotaged his own move to Barca to stay at Cadiz. He was Maradona's best friend and Maradona often says he's the best player he ever saw play.
Why on Earth would you put Basturk from Leverkusen when a far better player (even from the same squad once) in Bernd Schneider didn't won a trophy as well?
Yep.Basturk was really good for a couple of seasons and that was it. Schneider was world class for over a decade. Carsten Ramelow as also another team mate of Basturks who was a great player and never won anything in his career,

@@ryandeasy678 Was he not part of the England teams that won it from 1955-1958 and 1961?
Hagan did not have the chance to win a British Championship, because his one official international cap was awarded for a friendly against Denmark. He did, however, play in several wartime internationals, including the celebrated 8-0 win against Scotland.
@@robertgregory9896 might need to dig a bit deeper but it doesn’t look like it
Harry Kane... 😢😢😢
Son Heung Min definitely has to be part of the conversation, not to downplay his Asian Games medal with Korea’s U23 team, but the man is by far deserving of a far more decorated trophy cabinet. Not even a Spurs fan but I hope they can lift a domestic cup or a Europa League for Sonny’s sake. 🥲 Never forget when he cooked, marinated, and served Sarri’s Chelsea at Wembley.
And yet, people still blamed the manager as a reason of South Korea's failure on winning the Asian Cup. Especially the most recent one, where the team was managed by former German coach Jurgen Klinsmann, and somehow lost to Jordan...
@@ezraezra2928 klinsmann is not a good coach. blaming him is understandable
@@olivertir2491 He already did this with Germany and the USMNT coach long time ago, even though there were notable success such as finishing 3rd in 2006 World Cup with Germany and reaching the semifinal in Copa America Centenario with the USMNT.
@@ezraezra2928 let me tell you as a german. Klinsmann sucks! He had a lot of luck with us 2006. Home wm and jogi löw in the back. Just a motivator this dude but thinks he is the messiah. USA is one of the two best teams in the concacaf. He failed hardcore with south korea and it was his fault. This dude is just garbage as a coach!
@@Simon-tl5vt Oh, and the Germans still remember that even though the country had a historic run in 2006 World Cup as a host, the results before that tournament was far from expectations. I mean that in some lesser friendlies where the Germans should have won very convincingly, they struggled a lot. Not to mention, before the World Cup, Germany had their worst finish in FIFA Rankings (22nd, I think) as a result of poor results in friendlies, including a 1-4 loss over Italy (the same team that also ended Germany's dream later in the World Cup and went on to win the entire thing). Last, but not least, they got grouped in Euro 2004, finishing 3rd behind Czechia and the Netherlands without even grabbing a single win throughout the group stage.
1:40 Matt Le Tissier being a "one man club" certainly makes him stand out in this list
the video changed its mind halfway through, going from 'never won a trophy' to 'won lots of league trophies, but no international trophies'.
Another very underrated player from the same Leverkusen era as Bastürk is Bernd Schneider. Brilliant man but never came closer to a trophy than 2002.
You mentioned Bayer Leverkusen but not Bernd Schneider??? He was an amazing player, his Brazilian teammates used to joke that he is not German but actually Brazilian (because of his technical abiltiies) and in the context of this video - never won a trophy.
So crazy Maldini is in the international list. His country lifted on 2006 and he was still brilliant at club level, but he retired a few years back from international duties.
Adrian Mutu is a good shout as well. He won the Romanian league at the beginning of his career but technically both his serie a trophies were stripped. So he has won no major trophies unless you count the Romanian league.
1:40 - You surely wanted to say one club man, right? Freudian slip there.
If Maldini had one a major intl. trophy he would be top 10 all time. So agonizingly close, and a glowing club career
Maldini is easily regarded as one of the top 3 defenders of all time. Losing a Euro and World Cup final doesn't sting as much when you won 4 UCLs.
@@GardEngebretsen actually, he won 5 UCLs lol
I think the Brasilerao counts as a major trophy, particularly in South American football.
I'm pretty sure for all the goals he scored Malcolm MacDonald didn't win a single trophy throughout the 70s, was a cup final runner up on a few occasions and only scored 7 times for England but 5 of those was in one game.
Sir Harieth Kane this one's for you 😄
Would also put Son on the list. Yes there was the Asian Games but that's not really a recognized trophy, thats like winning football gold at athletics European Championships if it was a thing.
It a typical example of good players playing in the wrong club at the wrong time😢
Especially Guerrero. If he had been born just a couple of years earlier, Athletic was a major power in the 80s, having won 2 league titles, 1 Spanish Cup and 1 Supercup.
Harry Kane beat them all...He is number 1 in this category and again it is individual achievement :)
TBF players like Haynes, Le Tis and Finney chose loyalty over trophies. Even if they were ‘too good’ for said teams. But that deserves as much if not more respect than a big trophy cabinet
Those Bilbao jerseys though oof 10/10
Bring back the Tifo boys 😭
To my mind Tom Finney stands tallest on this list. Obs played a long, long time ago though.
I’ll give you two names. Germán Dévora. Greatest ever UD Las Palmas player. He played during the 60s and 70s, when Las Palmas was a powerhouse in La liga, qualifying to UEFA Cup and Inter-Cities Fairs Cup quite a few times, but never reaching the finals. The closest he and Las Palmas got to a trophy was in 68 and 69 finishing third and second in the league, as well as a Copa del Rey final in 78, lost against Barcelona. He remains highest ever goalscorer for Las Palmas in La Liga despite being a midfielder, as well as a Spanish International.
The other is Tony Currie. Sheffield United’s greatest ever player. A delight to the eye, played as a number 10 during the 70s and 80s. Played for Leeds United and QPR too, as well as for the England National team.
U can add Son Heung Min to the list soon.
Other names (non British) come to mind are
Gaizka Mendieta
Sergei Barbarez
Juan Roman Riquelme did win a gold medal in Beijing 2008, and was part of the last team to win a final against Real Madrid. He should definitely not be in the list
Neither the Olympics nor the Club World Cup are major trophies. It’s bizarre to me how South Americans, especially Argentinians and Uruguayans, pretend like the Club World Cup is the most important trophy in club football, and brag about winning it as if they aren’t aware that the Europeans don’t care about the trophy and put in about half the effort into winning it.
@@hitthurdeaux the title says "never win a trophy". Both the Olympics and the Club World Cup are trophies (and I'm not even counting the Libertadores Riquelme won).
I never said the Club World Cup is the most important trophy, just said Boca Juniors was the last team to me able to defeat Real Madrid. And AFAIR, Real Madrid was not playing with subs, it was the full galácticos.
@@marcelo.origoni The thing is: if they win it, great, if they don't "lol, I wasn't even trying".
@@hitthurdeauxI'll give you the olympics, as it's not the highest level and no top country ever picks it's full strength squad. The club world cup absolutely counts tho, bro.
If the "carabao cup"... Is considered a legit trophy, when the biggest teams barely take it seriously At ALL until the semi/final itself, and even then they often don't go full strength... Then the club world cup is definitely at the very least on the same level. Qualifying teams (Including the European teams...) tend to go full strength and try very hard to win it
@@marcelo.origoninot sure of the club world cup but the olympics is definitely not a major trophy. Its a semi U 23 tournament
First one comes to mind is Mr. Runner Up: Michael Ballack.
He won Bundesliga with Kaiserslautern and Bayern, and EPL with Chelsea
It’s obviously Kane
“In no particular order”
Proceeds to make the list in the most objective order possible
Just realised yesterday was 10 years of Umaxit/Tifo.
So the greatest player never to win a trophy is five time European Cup/Champions League winner Paulo Maldini?
Seems legit.
If Bayern does not win a trophy 2 seasons in a row then Kane truly is cursed.
the moment i saw the title, signori name come first
Di Natale is the most underrated footballer of all time there was a period of time when only Messi and Ronaldo were outscoring him and that was when they were at the peak of their powers
Harry Kane is a legend 🐐🐐
trophyless legend.
I listen more attentively to tifo than I do to my teachers
Kane had to be on the list
Gotta be Kane in the modern era.
Nikos Liberopoulos, great striker from Greece
It still baffles me how people never mention Signori when it comes to 90s Serie A strikers, and it‘s probably only due to the fact that he never won a trophy. Not only was he the leading scorer at a time when the likes of Van Basten, Sosa, Batistuta, Balbo, Baggio, Vialli, Mancini, Lentini, Massaro or Papin were in their prime (and del Piero, Inzaghi and Bierhoff slowly rising through the ranks), but he also appeared high in the scoring lists during the other seasons. The only thing that held him back were injuries (Lazio still had sort of a sane transfer policy at the time he played there).
Adrian Mutu
I love Socrates, what a great player and a great man
Finney might the best shout there
I think winning a Bronze world cup medal with 🇹🇷 should have been mentioned as part of Başturk's highlights. Because that is the mother of all over achievements
Zlatan Ibrahimović never winning the Champions League is so sad to me.
Same for Gigi Buffon
And the Brazilian Ronaldo
Although he was a great player his champions league performances were subpar , he got 49 goals in CL whilst playing for almost 2 decades a guy like haaland has 41 in 39 for reference
@@Akashnotfrhall and=tap in merchant
@@cfcblue8 Ronaldo has two World Cup so he's fine.
Kane you ask again? I didn t hear your question.
Kane will win a trophy this year🔥
Surely he has to ...
😂😂😂😂😂
Audicup 2019*
R9 and Batistuta have to be up there
Kane won the Audi cup.
Probably Ronaldo. Never lived up to his United hype but had a decent career at Spurs. Heard he now plays in China.
Sir Chris Powell but he did win as a mansger
Paolo Maldini has the worst luck with international football I think he even said he felt haunted lmao. If I remember he lost in 1990s to penalties to Argentina in semi-finals (I think they at least got Bronze), lost to Brazil in 1994 to penalties after keeping a clean sheet, lost in 1998 in the quarter finals to France on penalties, in the 2000 Euros they were seconds away from winning when France tied and then France won with the golden goal, and in 2002 world cup they had the Bryan Moreno referee incident, Totti's red card controversy and lost on golden goal in R16. It's quite unfortunate given Paolo was genuinely one of the best defenders, and also one of the best players I've ever seen but fortunately even without a world cup or a balon de oro people still acknowledge his efforts and contributions nowadays which makes me glad. I think Italy also inducted him into the hall of fame 2nd after Baggio which is cool. Sometimes the best don't win it all.
For me it is Jiuseppe Signori
Who is he?
signori does won intertoto cup (uefa third tier competition back then)
In the end, yes! Harry Kane is the best player to have ever won a trophy... So far. I hope he wins some at Bayern Munchen.
Finney is a greater player than Kane. Finney is the second greatest winger in English history. Kane barely can fit into the top 5 English strikers in history.
Le Tissier in the 90s was our Ronaldinho.
Aly Deeya in the 90s was our Anelka or Pogba
Gaza was
Steve Gerrard at Liverpool comes to mind.
He won three League Cups, two FA Cups, a UEFA Cup and the Champions League (and the Community Shield and UEFA Super Cup, but they don't really count).
Kane and Dimitri Payet comes to mind
Stevie G not winning any EPL is tragic
It’s because of his own mistake
@@harshiljuneja7731this is a complete re-write of history. not only was there a whole other goal that was scored by Chelsea in that match, but it was the draw against Palace that really killed the title off
@@matthewbanton7077 This. As a Liverpool fan I also agree that it was the Palace draw that did it. Gerrard's slip was always the focal point because well, it was Gerrard. Haters just like to pile on him.
What about Gary Lineker, he never won a major english league title during his time and also he never won the champions league but comes second in the 1986 Ballon d'Or
lineker got major trophies like CDR with barcelona and FA Cup with tottenham
so it rules out
Oh ok thanks
Honorable mention to Oleg Veretennikov, Absolute Goal Machine In the Russian Top League but ended his career trophyless
One club men of clubs that aren't in the traditional running for championship titles are obvious candidates for this.
Tom Finney actually won a trophy in 1951--specifically the Division Two title (it was not specified that it had to be top tier).
Except they did, since in the case like Signori they said he won lower league trophies.
Magico Gonzalez didn't win anything did he? Amazing player who sabotaged his own move to Barca to stay at Cadiz. He was Maradona's best friend and Maradona often says he's the best player he ever saw play.
Why on Earth would you put Basturk from Leverkusen when a far better player (even from the same squad once) in Bernd Schneider didn't won a trophy as well?
Yep.Basturk was really good for a couple of seasons and that was it. Schneider was world class for over a decade. Carsten Ramelow as also another team mate of Basturks who was a great player and never won anything in his career,
Signori, should won a lot of trophy with Lazio
Di natale is being overlooked
Kane probably is but I would expect him fully to get a trophy this year, can be 2 year at Bayern without winning a trophy
Big up to my boy Payet
The answer to this is and must always be Neal Maupay…
