Oh dear.. He actually does look a bit like Brad Pitt in that picture. That's odd.

Love Ali Daei.
Still guys I want you to discuss Sheva's pros and cons to instate him in the hall of fame.

Cruijff's Heir
I nominate my fellow Dutchman Philip Cocu. 
- He was an incredible midfielder
- Captain of PSV and Barcelona
- After returning to PSV he carried the team to several titles
- As an interim manager last months of the season 2011-2012, he won the Dutch Cup with PSV
- Lionel Messi only just overtook him as foreign player with most league apps for Barcelona(205)
- 700 games in his career, 140 goals. International apps: 101, 10 goals.

In. Because you provided a good argument for a relatively unspoken of player.

So no one approve of Jari Litmanen? Arguably the best game vision of all time. If there ever was a better passer in the history of football than Xavi,
Jari Litmanen is that person. His passes are stunning. He also always took the spot kick and never missed. His success rate is a pure 100%. He carried
Ajax to UCL 1995 victory scoring 6 goals as a midfielder. He is the only player in the world to have played an international in four different decades.
His biggest problem always were injuries. He has not played a full season without injuries since 1996, and he still played last season. Now I finally
believe he's about to retire. His time in Barcelona 1999-2001 was horrible. He only appeared in 21 matches due to injuries. His record apps after 1996
is 26 per season in Liverpool 01-02. Such a shame, one of the greatest target (10) players in the world and appeared only in 450 matches in his 25
years of professional football. So, on average 18 matches per season. Still scored 187 goals in those matches.
Some call Jari the world's first 3D vision player. Before getting the ball to his feet, he has already thought of three different possibilites to do with the ball,
and the outcome of those decisions.

Well, he has been training with HJK this spring but has not been named to a single match nor is mentioned in the roster.

That's why I nominated him in the HoF. He might still play a game this season. Perhaps the last game of the season or something? Like a goodbye game.
I don't think Jari will ever officially announce his retirement though. But an active player... nah. I think he's with the club just to train. He's never had
anything else but football in his life. He'll probably pick up a coaching role in Finnish national team quite soon.

Good news Raed, Ortega officially retired, so I nominate El Burrito
Cocu is so underrated by today's fans. Was my favorite of Barca's Dutch squad, a worthy inductee.
