    To think this legendary player is 48.Fantastic Stuff.He wasn't called 'The Maradona of the Carpathians' for nothing.

    To get that sort of power is actually amazing from a flick

    Hagi's 15yo son is also showing a bit of potential.

    Ya,see the date on the video.The match was last Saturday.Did anyone else notice he is even wearing his old adidas boots,probably from 2001 when he retired from the Pro game.:D

    One of best attacking midfielders in Europe in the 80's and 90's and Romania's greatest ever player.237 goals in 516 apps.Says it all.

    they look like old astro boots to me - class player , probably doesn't need boots, would be great in an old pair of runners.

    He was fantastic for Gala vs Arsenal in the UEFA cup final a good few years back. I think it might have been his last game. Not sure tbh.

    Only problem is they aren't great on wet ground.

    I had a pair when I was a teenager, used them on astro and during the summer/if it was dry/frozen (remember playing on frozen pitches, sketchy stuff).

    Had to buy a pair of Puma King's for when it was wet and muddy though as I just slipped everywhere in the copa's and the kings were the closest boot comfort wise that had studs.
