That era for Holland & Milan was sensational… Gullit, Rijkaard, Van Basten

Ruud looks amazing for 61. Inspirational.

Gullit is so underrated as a player these days...when people talk about the best players in the world history , his name is rarely mentioned. He had everything, pace, power, goals, versatile and excelled in every position.....LEGEND

I'm Portuguese and I was 18 years old when I saw this tournament . I remained a fan of the Dutch team to this day

Gullit has such a aura man, Depay would never. Still the only Captain that has won a major trophy with Holland

Ruud Gullit is the most complete footballer ever to play the game. How many players you know have been world class in multiple different positions? He had literally no weakness.

Euro 88, Gullit and Van Basten, great memories. Great players.

The way Ruud speaks about Marco allmost brings tears to my eyes..left the game at the age of 28, literally kicked out of the game because he was allmost unstoppable..

Gullit and Van Basten - what an amazing partnership.

What a player RG was!! Him and Van Basten were the reason I became an AC Milan fan. At that time, Milan had some amazing players, Gullit, Van Basten, RiJkaard, Baresi, Maldini, Donadoni, Albertini, but Milan won so many trophies during that era mainly because of Gullit and Van Basten.

Van Basten, Rijkaard and Gullit total legends of dutch football and fame seems like a fairytale.

I always felt when Ruud Gullit arrived from Italy into the Premier League (95) , the Premier League went up a level in the standard of players it could attract.

Ruud Gullit, one of my childhood heroes.

Gullit, van Basten , rijkaard... World class

A legend! One of the greatest players ever!

Gullit with the honesty and charm. What a storyteller.

Gullit is always a very engaging conversationalist.

Ruud was an AMAZING player! He is appreciated!

And shout out to Rio at one time a genuine world class football player who ALWAYS gives the greats of his youth their flowers. Ruud Gullit was stupidly good and stupidly famous from the eighties till he got to Chelsea. One of the few players I saw that rarely lost the ball

Ruud is the most complete footballer of all time arguably the greatest footballer that has ever lived

I appriciate Ruud much more in the 80s than Diego! His technique, his moving, his qualities, his personality, HIS POSITIVE ENERGY! I`m Austria, we were in 88 all for the dutch! What a classy Sir Ruud is still today! ...and...I understood every word and meaning! 👍

What an absolute legend Gullit was then and is today. Always played the game with a smile Scored some amazing goals

He was one of the most complete football player of all time and on top of that he had the look and the elegance!

The joy that Dutch team of "88 brought to our country...the sheer madness of joy that overwhelmed everybody,,after winnimg against Germany in Hamburg and then bring the cup home was unimaginable. To see and watch footage from their return to Eindhoven airport they had to land there because Schiphol could not be reached, the people stood by the side of the highway from Eindhoven to Amsterdam and all the canals there were completely full with people...The whole nation was at a stand still...everybody was partying!! What a memories!!!

Confident yet down to earth and humble and hard working

Ruud gullit was one of the best but a humble man that praises Marc van Basten. Great interview.

I will never forget when I met Ruud as a kid. I grew up in Italy and he was my idol. My dad took me to the airport to see the Milan team leaving for a Champions League game. He came out of the bus and we took a photo and he signed an autograph; he was so nice and available, talking to me and my dad, and he made my day. I was the happiest kid in the world. Absolute legend

The most complete player the world has ever seen. One of the few players with a genuine and legit argument for the GOAT.

Wonderful interview between these legends, Ruud and Rio. The passion of Ruud for the game is clear by the way he does his analysis...

brilliant player.

God, I love Ruud Gullit.

Amazing player, great reminder of van basten, imagine what else he would have done if he hadnt had terrible injuries. every nation had real footballers. now theres afew, but most are athletes first, then footballers second. In my life, the dutch and polish always seemed similar, ive been to holland and poland and lived in belfast with people from both countries, theres no fun or laughs with them, all very serious, way too serious and rigid in behaviour but great people all the same. Great show! 🙂

Van basten was beyond world class... Best centre forward ever

A winner and failure at the Euros. Cheers for your time at the mags Ruud, and that night in the rain. Legend

Marco, Ruud, Frank ..the 3 of AC Milan ...what a fantastic period of amazing football!!! Ruud .. one of the most flamboyant players on and off the pitch!!!! Those times unfortunately will not come back!!!

What a player

I remember that Van Basten hat-trick against us very well. Three totally different goals - all outstanding in different ways. Made Tony Adams look like a pub team player and Adams was usually a very good and consistent CB. Got totally done that day though.

Really enjoyed this one

Marco Van Basten 3 time Ballon Dor winner before the age of 28 and he was forced to quit playing at that age sadly on his prime if he didn’t get badly injured he would’ve have CR 7 Numbers

I actually enjoyed this. And Gullit is a legend because he gives others the prize.

I really wish that I was able to watch van Basten in his day

Those Van Basten goals were absolutely unbelievable. Wow!

What a player!! Iconic!

THESE ARE LEGENDS RIGHT HERE FOLKS.🌟.

Why don't People Mentioned Gulilt Name with the Best who ever Played the Game..He was incredible...

what a guy, he's so humble praising all the legends he played with

Gullit and Van Basten, Euro 88, the reson I not became a Milanista but also fell in love with the Beautiful Game. That Holland team could have won at least one World Cup (90 or 94) but due to internal fights they didn’t. Grazie di cuore Ruud per tutto! ❤️⭐️👏😎🤟

This team was MAGIC 💪

I hope to find a girl someday that talks about me the way Ruud talks about Marco

"You should try to keep fit and sorrounded with good people, that gives you good energy"! Thats the best phrase and life goal from RG.👌🙏

Those clips of Gullit were so smooth. Football is not as technical anymore. Born in 87 and always heard his name but saw his clips for the first time today. What a player 🎉

Arguably the greatest Euros triumph. Watching that team now still makes the back of the neck tingle. How can a team contain so many leaders and yet keep all the egos at bay to get the hunger to win? It's pure legendary stuff.

Asking gullit who remids him of himself? The man could play world class striker ,midfield and sweeper ,is there another player in history can say that ?

Brilliant interview. Holland 88, one of the best international teams ever. Milan 89, possibly the best club side ever. Gullit, one of the most complete players ever. Van Basten, the most complete striker of all time. The Gullit-Van Basten partnership, one of the deadliest duos in history for both Holland and Milan. Legendary 🙌

Thank you for bringing this legend on, Rio. This is brilliant.

Holland 1974 and 1988 are among world greatest team ever

RG is a LIVING LEGEND. Much respect.

Excellent questions from Rio Ferdinand as well. Ruud Gullit looks comfortable

Our Ruud! He & Marco were my number 1 childhood heroes. Proud to be a Dutchie ! And yes, we are way too direct.

WHAT A GOAL by van basten. That move was exquisite

Even though I can’t remember much of it, I saw the lost final in ‘74. I vividly remember the lost final in ‘78 when I was 10 years old. It seemed like ages for the Dutch team to play another final and this time we won. But I was twice as old then. May sound silly, but it was only yesterday that I realised it only took 10 years. Ten years is absolutely nothing when you’re 56, like I am now. But back then, three big finals in just 14 years time! Pretty impressive. 🧡

What a pleasure to listen to one of the greatest ever!

Still inspiring today. Loved that Milan & Netherland team. These days made me love football ❤

love this - he is my favourite player of all time!

Marco Van Basten retired at 28 years old.

Ruud, living legend. Amazing player, iconic look, charismatic personality.

The most complete player ever I think he could literally play anywhere.

i remember seeing him strolling along Chelsea Bridge road around the time he became player/manager at Chelsea, and was immediately struck on just how big he was. he was immaculate, wearing a suit, collar and tie, had short dreads (?), very elegant and looked as though he had stepped of a catwalk. he was on his own, nobody taking any notice, he could have been any Tom, Dick or Harry.

Ruud is the most underrated Dutch player, in a ITV documentary about the Dutch 3 at Milan, all the Italian players as Baresi and Donadoni said that their dominant years was all Gullit, his presence on the filed alone gave them a head start every match

One of my favorite football player, love his humility!

World class Upload. Need more of this!!!

That 1988 victory on Germany was more than just revenge for 74, it was also offered satisfaction to many Dutch people who still hated the Germans because of the war. After 1988 it felt for many like a heavy load fell off their shoulder, and over time they started to get along with the Germans, they understood that it was a new German generation with different ideas, and today they get along very well, they're both happy to have such a neighbor, and it also shows in the summer; lots of Dutch tourist go on a vacation to Germany, and the Germans visit the Netherlands, they get along really well.

Love this concept of ex pros covering each others careers, so wonderful to watch

Rio and gullit most iconic Player

One of the best complete footballers ever

A complete player. Played exceptionally well is all positions he was in.

Such a good man! He and Marco were our stars!

Emotional ❤

Fotball icon ✨️

For me the greatest player from my generation, god i cry when he left my club Feyenoord.

It was Irelands first major tournament euro 88 I was 11 but I remember Rudd was always in the conversation when people were talking about the best players in the world, That Dutch side were quality with top players in every position but have to say we had quality players back then and we only needed a draw in our last game against Holland to get to QF but they scored a fluke of a goal late in the game which was a close game, Those were the days😢 Van bastens goal is still regarded as one of the best goals in tournament football what a strike👍☘☘☘

Gullit a good, interesting man and a remarkably good player, one of the best for sure!

Esse gullit era craque

Mooi om te zien🧡🧡🧡🇳🇱🇳🇱❗️❗️❗️ Nostalgie 🧡🧡🧡❗️🇳🇱

The 1988 dutch team was in my view the second best team Holland ever had after the 1974 dutch team!

That is my favorite Euro, Van Basten my favorite player in all times

Gullit has always been one of my favourite personalities in football and also one of my favourite players. Gullit. Bergkamp. Maradona, Messi, Zidane. Were all those types of magical players.

Was gutted to not see Ruud in USA 94. Felt he could have been the difference against that Brazil team!

Ruud is a legend of the sport.

LEGEND

I feel grateful and proud to have seen his Greatness, Humility and sense of self. Nga mihi nui brother

Need to do more of these. Make it its own show. Young people like myself need to be reminded of the legends of the game

The first player I can actually remember... His hair, that bright orange strip is partly the reason I fell in love with football. Thanks for the memories Rudd!!! ❤

Best interview in a long time. Well done Rio and Ruud.

Gullit was the premier player, or best in the world during the late 80s to early 90s. A juggernaut of a player. Can’t tell if he’s a striker or a midfielder because his efficiency is so good that the pitch is somehow smaller for him than the average pro player

When people say Gullit was the most complete footballer ever, they're usually just talking about his skills with the ball. What they don't realize is that Gullit's real superpower was his relentless energy without the ball. He would sprint all over the pitch, closing down opponents, creating space for Van Basten, genuinely being the fucked up person and fucks everythings up. He's the ultimate shithouse artist. There has been no player who possesses such ability. Not Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Matthäus, Baresi, Maldini, Ronaldo, Zidane, CR7, Messi, you name it. Only him. My GOAT. Ruud Gullit.

One of the best. happy that you are doing well.

His shirt is still in my closet today from his Feyenoord days. It's my tressure so to say

a true legend rudud gullit

Great interview, Ruud comes across as a great guy as well as a legend of the game.
