Gavin MacNeish maybe he was like a fine wine, get better with age. To me he looked a better player at 33, 34 when he joined Celtic. Not to say he wasn’t a class above every other player at Bastia and St Etienne coz he was, I just think he hit his stride a bit later in his career. I was there when he tore Juve to shreds and for the first half he was 10 years younger but in the second half he started huffing and blowing a bit, then you remembered he is human lol
The best footballer I have ever seen in the flesh . I'm a season ticket holder 20 plus years n yes I include Larsson in that statement n that pains me as the KOK is my favourite ever player but that guy was unplayable at times
@@TonyMontana-fz4io sorry mate ,he was outstanding from junior age . He played for FC Nitra back in Czechoslovakia when he turned 17 and ,he was natural playmaker . He went on to play for Czechoslovakia in World cup in Italy . He was allways great player but unknown in Scotland . How he end up playing in Bastia instead of top european club is something I do not understand. So finishing his carrer in Celtic which is without a doubt big club was fitting ending of his career. Lubo had a gift from god no doubt about it . The game against Juventus showed that he can play on highest level and he was allready 35 . There were many ex players in Czechoslovakia who were after qiuck money and they become agents and someone come up with Bastia instead of club like Athletico Madrid or Borusia Dortmund . Lubo was technically better footbaler than Nedved but Nedved agent was smarter than Lubos agent . Lubo was magician with both feet . Hail Lubo !
They nearly did mate. He was outstanding for St-Etienne in Ligue 1 in the 90’s so much so Marseille were after him but I think a bad injury halted that move. Zidane (who played against prime Lubo then) is on record speaking very highly about the wee genius.
Came from nowhere, was questioned as a nobody when he arrived...but didn't he do well. What a player, a genius, the type I'd pay to watch all day. Sadly, there are few like him around nowadays, especially in Scotland.
If only he was 5 years younger I know some will disagree just for the sake of it but has there been anyone more two footed than lubo only naka comes close for me
WhyAlwaysMe1888 Whilst Nakamura was on the same level in terms of talent, it certainly wasn't because of his two-footedness. But Lubo was the most two-footed player I've ever seen.
WhyAlwaysMe1888 A few years after Henrik retired, he said that despite playing with Lubo for years he still did not know if he was right or left footed. Lubo was the most two-footed player I've ever seen. Loved watching him. Genius.
Remember when aw the so called scottish football journo's were laughing and sneering at this under the radar signing of a footballing genius who only cost celtic 350k,this little slovak blew their mind and then some,world class baller and we got him at the age of 33......fuckin wow.......Hail Hail Lubo.
I still don't know which was his stronger foot??? absolutely incredible class, I remembered him vaguely from Italia 90 when Celtic signed him, but he is still regarded most highly by those that were gifted the chance to see him play. Hail Hail Lubo!!
I’m just a few years under 50 and obviously Henrik was statistically the GOAT,but Lubo is the greatest player I’ve ever seen in the Hoops.A genuine brilliant “#10” and because of MON’s preference for a box to box guy like Petrov with a high work rate,a perfect example of what he brought was when we needed to beat Motherwell at home to stay in the race,and Goram was having one of his “great” (sorry guys but it’s true.That night he still noised the fans right up without the “protection” of it being an Old Firm game) nights and after much pleading from the crowd,he brought the Master on. We got a free kick that Naka or Beckham wouldn’t have been guaranteed to score from and Lubo....well you know the rest. For me that was as important a goal as any he scored and I’m privileged to say I met him a few times but I know even after a couple of years,he would still struggle when you have a really thick Glasgow accent but he did know I was telling him he was my favourite player ever for Celtic. I even remember seeing him in Greaves’ trying to get trainers for one of his kids and he wasn’t happy at all with the service. A genuine legend who I’ll always be grateful to have been able to watch on a regular basis.
The way he turns to the crowd after scoring and points to his name on his shirt , exactly like Fabio Silva did for Rangers in one of his only 4 goals 🤦♂️
He was at St etienne when zidane was coming through. Zidane is on record saying he based his game on him and he his favourite player. They recently played together in a charity match.
This guy has to be on the list of "most underrated players of all time!"
agreed

@@cheguevara5560 I'm sure he got a serious amount of international appearances too, didn't he?
Best technical Celtic player I’ve seen on my lifetime
Naka?
@@mills260 loved Naka, but nowhere near Lubo.
@@jockmackay9582
totally agree.
Henke Lubo Kenny Dalglish my 3 favourites
Welcom slova
rip Dr. Jo. he gave Scottish football Lubo and I’ll always love him for that
I'm a 52 year old man but I think I'd actually cry if I ever met Lubo
I'll never understand how the big clubs in Europe didn't pick up Lubo in his prime. Glad they didn't mind you, what a player.
They nearly did mate.

Unreal talent 👌 only if we got him when he was a bit younger 🍀💚
Great Lubo
we should be proud that we had such a brilliant player in Slovakia.
what a special player lubo was i remember seeing him destroy the rangers with larsson in his 1st game for us what a player HH 🍀🍀🍀
One of the best players I have ever seen. Up there with with Cruyff, Best, Platini and Jimmy Johnstone
Poor mans Brian Laudrup
@@Bobsend that's something someone who doesn't understand football would say.
Very different types of players
Sit doon son 😂🍀
How you seriously putting Jimmy Johnstone in the mix with Cruyff 😂
@@Bobsend poor mans john lundstram....
The free kick was with the right, the wonder strike at the end was with the left. What more can you say
Only 2 players I seriously "hated" as a Rangers fan only because I wanted them to play for us lol. Lubo and Larsson.
LEGEND. THANK YOU MAESTRO.
Absolute genius 👏 I can't state how much I adore this man. A pleasure to watch and witness this magician.
Came from nowhere, was questioned as a nobody when he arrived...but didn't he do well. What a player, a genius, the type I'd pay to watch all day. Sadly, there are few like him around nowadays, especially in Scotland.
Neil Rae They're really scraping the barrell here calling him a legend...
Joffrey Baratheon your obviously clueless about football.
@@joffreybaratheon209 9 years later and yer still a dick!!!
Genius. Legend.
made some GIFS from this video & they'll be available on twitter & Fb

@J J I think naka was another very underrated player
J J they were both amazing and on the same level your underrating nakamura big time

Thanx Lubo....
I've got a signed lubo strip I bought at a sportsman's dinner. Legend 🍀
Buy it off you for 2 Alfreddo bars and a Treble whiskey 😁🍀🍀😂
So good you said it twice 🍀
best Slovak export to Scotland so far. ;)

Paráda Ľubo 😊
Fantastic footballer, must be one of the finds of all time, nobody had heard of him. Good scouting 👍
He was one of a group of world class Czech and Slovak playmakers around that time. They were well known.
Different class
what a player

I'm a hearts fan lubo is up there with henrik as one of the greats class player to watch
Amazing
My favourite player in the hoops, end of!
Well done, thx
Technically the best player to play in Scotland for a very, very long time.
Epic!
Krasne goly
That dummy from King Henrik was the start of a beautiful partnership.
Fans: What is your best foot?
Lubo: Yes
haha
Big 5 0 now, Happy Birthday Lubo
The most technically gifted player to play in Scotland since Andy Ritchie. Only Lubo would on occasion run lol
The way he turns to the crowd after scoring and points to his name on his shirt , exactly like Fabio Silva did for Rangers in one of his only 4 goals 🤦♂️
What a player. Was a nobody as well boy wee didn't know what wee were in for superb
More skill in his right bum cheek than most have in 2 feet 🍀
My favourite Celtic player
Where the hell did he come from? I assumed he played for big european clubs or somthing before he joined Celtic.
think it was some lower league German team for 300,000
Robert Mccormack what a waste. Was he good in the European games for Celtic? Can't remember
Lubo is a Celtic legend the man was magic with a ball Henrik larsson said he played with him for years and he still doesn't know what foot he was.
He was at St etienne when zidane was coming through. Zidane is on record saying he based his game on him and he his favourite player. They recently played together in a charity match.
Lubo was a "gift from god" and yes he was good in Europe for celtic
got to be first game and goal against the gers
Do one one Duncan sheara
I met lubo and agat
Song name?
Chris Dorman Cheers mate
Henri Larson do one on him
My dog is named Lubo 😝 lol
Is he four footed?
No wonder! He is Zidane's favorite player...
He looks like James acaster
Some feet on him. ... :)
can you image if celtic got him much sooner just a younger man ffs wow
Keevins scoffed. Who? he asked, well he found out. Sorry Hugh, but you got it wrong. Again.
Under 100 club
FIRST
350,000 quid. Henrik was 650,000. A combined 1 million pounds. Tore Andre flo cost 12 million quid 😂😂
