Not ur opinion, it’s fact he’s a legend. Thnx to him he turned barca into champions along with Rafa Marquez, ronaldinho, puyol, deco, etc unstoppable defense and attack. Wished he stayed but they wouldn’t pay David’s.

Davids is now a part of Van Gaal’s coaching staff for the Netherlands in the 2022 World Cup. Crazy how they’ve remained so close for more than thirty years.

I was at the pre-season game for Spurs v Porto when he had just signed. Came off the bench after about an hour and the first thing he did was go crashing into one of their players with a CRUNCHING tackle. We all just looked around at each other with a wry smile and someone said 'Go on Edgar!'

What I've noticed over here is just how good he looks on the ball, technically, with his ability to dribble and progress the ball, which in modern football is usually thought to be reserved for attacking players. His ball control is levels better than many of the modern day players. many of them who happen to be attackers, and this is a defensive midfielder who used to get stuck in as well. Brilliant player really.

He was crap. A rough tackler, no skill or finnesse. He could get away because of his ugly face.

Edgar Davids was a beast, a monster, a machine! This man took on any oponent on the pitch. He, Mauro Silva, Redondo, Ngolo Kante and Steve Makelele are the best diffensive midfielders I ever watched play football! And the no 6 position is the most strategic in modern football. Louis van Gaal has a very good knowlegde of football!

Davids, Rijkaard, Seedorf, Litmanen. Each a legend of the game, but all together in midfield? That's tasty!

Davids was the best defensive midfielder I've ever seen together with Fernando Redondo

i remember watching him doing Ronaldinho as a defensive midfielder long before Ronaldinho himself came to Europe. but back then players were much more special and allrounded than today, so it was not taken as something special. now a defender makes the dribble and he is croned as a sensation and 60mil are given for him. back then players had to be able to play at least 3 positions to be considered good. however, Davids was special. a heir to Gullit, but more modern, more aggressive and defensively oriented. everyone was scared of him and everyone respected him. at the same time he was the coolest dude with his glasses and dribbling.

There is more technical quality today in general. Davids could play in any era though due to being beautifully well rounded and being tough as nails.

Beautiful player from the 2nd Golden Generation of Dutch football.

This was my favorite player when I started watching juventus

He was the best player at the 1998 World Cup. I’ll never forget how absolutely amazing he was in that tournament. He was like five players in one, covering every blade of grass. Ronaldo and Zidane got the plaudits but Davids was way above everyone else in that tournament.

We hear it all the time, especially in Britain, when the reality is most of the greatest players ever to play the beautiful game were little guys. It's effin mind-boggling.

When he was injured at spurs and on the way to recovery, he was doing some light ball work on the pitch next to where we were training, he asked to join in, i went into a 50/50 with him and i reinjured him. He remembered me when i used to see him at barnet

This man was in class by himself

Barnet are my second team (had a season ticket for a few years when I was at school) and that Davids ended up as player manager is still truly bizarre.

Oakleys are so wavy, I’m glad David’s wore them. Most think they’re goggles but they’re just really good sunglasses that have an impact resistant lenses. He may of have prescription in their too.
