It's also when the "God is bulgarian" phrase mentioned in the video was coined by the commentator.

I am Greek and 94 was the first time we qualified for a world cup! But besides that I think it was one of the best and most diverse World Cups EVER .......with many underdogs play really strong and with all of them having 2 or 3 really great players on their squad like Bulgaria(Stoichckov, Balakov, Letchkov) , Romania(Hagi, Dumitrscu, Raducoiu, Munteanu) , Sweden(Larsson, Dahlin, Anderson, Brolin) , Nigeria(Yekini, Amokachi, Okocha, Amunike) and of course the big names Italy and Brazil!

No player in the world was more interesting to watch than Stoichkov at that time. Absolutely crazy but playing with an unmatched passion...unmatched even today. God and Devil in same person. Impossible...but not for Stoichkov. When he sprinted, my heartbeat accelerated, when he shot I couldn't breathe or blink in awe. How many wins he crafted for Barcelona? Like Saachi said: "You can only stop him with a pistol"😂

As a bulgarian. Thank you!!! You remind me how great was he....I was too young to realize the "football " in all perspectives...But now...just....THANK YOU!!!

Brilliant video, keep up the good work! Just one correction: Loko Plovdiv's owner killed at Sunny Beach is not Pavlov (probably mistaken with Ilia Pavlov who owned CSKA) but Georgi Iliev, mighty underground figure, whose older brother Vasil was also killed several years before.

Really enjoyed the video, also little known fact is that he was at some point coach of Leo Messi in Barcelona child academy. Also the famous quote of Hristo: "Once they said they can only stop me with a pistol. Today you need a machine gun to stop Messi." Also as far as I know he showed a great hospitality and help a lot of youngsters in Barcelona, for example Samuel Eto'o and many others. Great person, great player.

You forgot about the most prominent achievement of the man. Teaming with Maradona and Cantona, they created the Professional Footballers Union which allowed all footballers (not only the stars!!!) to make a decent living out of their job and secure their retirement... This sense of justice may be explains a bit of the personality of the man and put lights on his legendary contestations against referees' mistakes.

Stoichkov greatest performance ever was in this match!

A very nice video, well done! The only thing I miss was you explaining what happened after he retired. He became a coach, but after a lot of unsuccessful tries, he decided to retire. Since 2016 Stoichkov is a co-owner in CSKA Sofia and works in Mexico as a commentator, I believe. And btw, being an owner of a football club in Bulgaria isn’t that dangerous anymore. All of the cases with the killed owners that you told about happened in the so called in Bulgaria “mafia boss years” , when killing of rich people was common

That 1996 Barcelona team was absolutely insane Ronaldo Stoichkov Guardiola Luis Enrique Figo Laurent Blanc Jose Mourinho all led by Bobby Robson you’ll never see another team like it.

Stoitchkov wasn't the one who scored to knock out France in the qualifiers of the world cup. It was Kostadinov who scored twice. And that match is worth a whole new video as Kostadinov scores literally in the last second of regular time. Look it up.

Greetings from Bulgaria man.So proud that people like you still remember Stoichkov and include him in videos like this

You tell a great story every time, keep it up. People will enjoy these videos

I saw him for the first time with CSKA when he was 19-20 years old and I was 12-13.I mean I was a fan of this mad dog from the beginning and you have done brilliant job in this video describing the essence of the man and the player.After two or three seasons he would announce that his goal is to win Ballon d'Or,something so ridiculous even Salvador Dali would think twice about.Before him only a handful of Eastern European players had won it,and no Balkan player(Second is Luka Modric,a few years ago)and on top of that communist government in my country had banned the transfers of Bulgarian players in the West.One could not legally be transferred untill he is 28 years old,much too late to win anything let alone Ballon d'Or.And Hristo means Christ(the Saviour)

Fun fact: Stoichkov was appointed consul of honor in Catalunya due to his extreme popularity there.

These videos are brilliant, thank you very much! I'm watching them everyday!

He is a LION, a WINNER with a big Bulgarian heart! Nowadays, we need more people like him in Bulgaria and in football. Legend! Very good video, my friend.

Hristo Stoichkov je legenda

A great football player from a small paradise. Welcome to Bulgaria!

This is arguably the most detailed characteristic video about HS8 I've seen on the internet. Double thumbs up for the big effort to gather so much and different video footage - that was really impressive for non-Bulgarian! I've seen footage I've never seen before, dude! lol But I have to add.. If you only knew about his "craziness" during his coaching years... And about his English Language skills... lol He spoke phrases which are both hilarious and scandalous. His feud with the president of the Bulgarian Football Federation gave birth to many flying phrases and insults that has no match. A feud which is still on to day. His feud with the Bulgarian sports journalism ads extra spice. Despite he lately is very opened for interviews, mostly because of his autobiography book he released and the clothing brand "HS8" he launched. Anyways, he's loved, he has a strong personality, he gave us so much joy while playing for CSKA Sofia, Bulgarian National Team and FC Barcelona. He literally put Bulgaria on the map. He's our G.O.A.T. Many hate him because of his "big mouth", but mostly because they are jealous for his great success. In fact he did something that probably no Bulgarian football player will ever achieve again. (I'm hoping I would be disproved!) Greetings from Bulgaria and thanks again for the great video, I really enjoyed it! 😎👍

Watching him play during my childhood was a real honor and treat! His speed and brilliance is still unmatched today.

I always use him in any of my FIFA squads, loved him ever since my father (who lived a few minutes away from Hristo Stoichkov) told me about how good he was at the beautiful game.

His 94 World Cup is the reason of why I became a Barca fan

Cool video! Stoitchkov was one of my fave players as a kid

As a Bulgarian I'm really proud of him, he is by far the most successful player ever.

One of my heroes, love your vids bro, keep it up!

Glad you do, man

One of the greats. Maximum flair and personality. What a player.

Broadcaster in Univision Of course I know the guy, I love his commentating and wise assertions. The man was simply a legend in his footballing career. A legend with Barcelona and an Icon with his Bulgaria
