It may sound dumb, but as a teen watching Davids play with glasses gave me hope that I could play no matter how bad my sigth was
That doesn't sound dumb, its beautiful!
That ain’t dumb it makes sense
That's kinda wholesome 😅

Man, you guys are awesome 🥲💙
Edgar Davids...one from those golden players I loved Juve for in 90s and 00s
Davids at Juventus dominated the midfield with his power and pace, earning him the nickname ‘The Pitbull’.
Football in the '80s, '90s and early 2000s was plenty of defenders and defensive midfielders like Davids.
They were the real reason why guys like Ronaldo Nazario, Batistuta, Signori or Shearer were not scoring 40 goals every single season, unlike nowadays when every year a new record is broken due to the ridiculous defending.
People today say Ramos or Chiellini are the toughest guys in football... Back then, guys like them they were just normal defenders.
EXACTLY!!! Defenders back in the days were absolute warriors units and DM'S were real defensive midfielders not freaking Deep laying play makers they werent as good on the ball but passing them was like trying to jump over a 7ft wall
Spot on pal I say this all the time!! Real midfielders and defenders!! They would make mince meat out of today's players. I too loved Juventus back then Davids and Zidane, pure quality!!! David's was actually my favourite player back then easy. Miss those days!!
His glasses made him even more iconic. He was one of fave players
You know it's going to be a great video when you hear "Soooo... listen to this"
Stolen comment
Watching Davids growing up I never knew he was so short, he played in such a way you just wouldn't think he was.
It's the "pitbull effect" Edgar Davids had He was a pitbull for real when you look at some crazy looking pitbulls you can get the feeling that their bigger than you because you know in a fight they would munch you
I tried to emulate Edgar Davids every time I played. He was the Pitbull. An absolute dog on the field. With an engine that never gave in. I still have the nickname Vindog now, 25 years after I stopped playing. If only I could have been a small percentage as influencial on the field as he was. He never gave up. That Dutch team he was part of was probably the best team not to win a Copa Mundial. Those Surinamese players just clicked so well for the Dutch national team. If only they could have accepted them. Still goes down as one of my favourite players ever, especially when he was at Juve with Del Piero.
Correction, they were not immigrants from Surinam, but have Surinam roots, Dutch born and raised. There is a huge Surinam community living for generations in Holland, delivering many great sportsmen and women.
Davids and Seedorf were both born in Paramaribo
That's what Wikipedia says... so... immigrants.
@@joesouthborn2960 no way you said wikipedia is a reliable source lol. are you serious, a website owned by the government and a place where anyone with an account can edit is bound for mistakes
@@johnwick7583 why would anyone lie about the birthplace of a football player? Ffs save these sceptical complaints for matters that are complex and actually matter.
@@Joe-ss9cr did I say it was an important issue 🤡?. All I said it Wikipedia is not a reliable source at all for a lot of things especially things the government doesn’t want you to just read. Learn to read context 🤣
Edgar Davids was a spectacular legend where he battled from nearly being blind to being an extremely so fantastic footballer at every footballing clubs where he joined,good friends!!!I do hope to see him being a manager at a footballing,not necessarily from the top flight,Lower and Non Leagues and long live to him,good friends!!!:-D
He was already a fantastic footballer before being a bit blind. That’s a misconception. He got blind later. Just like Petr Cech who had already won the premier league twice before his helmet
What an inspirational story. Edgar David's story shows that nothing is impossible if you have the right mindset and determination.
Never knew his full story. Thanks for sharing it! Holy smokes, what a character
@DailyDoseofFootball please make a story about Andreas Brehme, a legendary player who was an underrated full-back in the 90s who played mostly for Kaiserslautern, Inter, Bayern and many more who sadly passed away. Or about Jan Koller who played for Borussia Dortmund as a striker in the early 2000s.
Yeah great shout on a video about Jan Koller 👌🏻
Thanks for Honza Koller, he has really good story about himself. Anyway they made a movie about Jan Koller back in 2022

Love your videos bro i just sit there for like an hour watching them on my tv
Man! That video just kept escalating in levels! Awesome vid man!
Thank You so much man I wanted to see this video in long long time
great vid (as always) this time on my absolute fav midfielder. CHEERS!!!!!!
I know it's an almost prehistoric era but a doc on John Charles would be amazing. Probably the finest player this nation has ever produced yet nobody outside of Wales seems to know him. He's got an amazing story and I think you'd do it justice with the heavy research you put into each video.
I love this channel thanks bro 😎👍
I love your videos so much bro......always puts me in a happy mood😅
Great video as usual
Glad you made a video on Edgar honestly he went through some shit but was a great player, id say iconic.
Crazy vid Love it
Mr daily dose of football, i know that you have a lot of players in your list for future video, but please consider making one about Redondo.
I have to mention that Edgar is one of my personal favourite players as a child that grew up in the 90s and early 00s. Thank you so much.
I remember seeing edgar in a magazine when i was a kid didn't know he was this good and tenacious
Another great video ❤
One of my favorite players growing up, his glasses are iconic.
Yeah ikr to me it seems so weird seeing him without the iconic glasses he was some player
My favorite defensive midfielder. Amazing technique. Neverending tenacity. Ferocious tackler.
Fantastic video
Great Video as always .Its crazy how unlucky this man was.Everyone only talks about people like baggio who died standing but dont remember this forgotten legend
every Juve and also FIFA 2001 fan remembers this guy
I remember using a lot Netherlands on winning eleven pro 10, he was too good but I know knew his story. Great video!
He was my favourite player when I was a kid. I also had to wear (sun)glasses for medical reasons outside doing sports. People often reacted weirdly to it so it was so important to have someone to point to. And I was also doing the most running of all kids - though in contrast to Davids that was because of a lack of technical skills.
Beautiful Story. Amazing Player! 🎉.
Love content
Always needed Davids in my football manager games. guy was a beast.
"So.......listen to this"
Me: 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿
Hey brother, i hope your doing well. I was really hoping if you would make a video on Eusebio as i saw his picture once and thought that nobody really talkd about him anymore considering his achievements
That face off between Edgar and Messi arg vs ned at world cup he looked a real gangsta.
Such an iconic player, one of the greatest Dutch players of the late 90s/early 00s. He was absolutely relentless.
I feel as though Davids legacy was really overshadowed by Seedorf
Seedorf was definitely the more technical player of the two, Seedorf was a scalpel, Davids a broadsword.
They are completely different players with different strong and weak sides. Davids is faster, better defensively and actually technically better in small spaces. Seedorf is tactically much better, has a better pass, better long shot.
As a kid watched both of them play together and Davids was my favourite over Seedorf, Rijkaard and Kluivert were also great, maaan whoever loved football had to love those Dutch teams of the 90's. De Boer brothers, Koeman, Van Basten, Van Der Sar, Gullit...
It is such a hard choice, they were all amazing.
It was magical, those Dutch national teams.
Dank u wel!
❤
🇵🇱🇳🇱
@@lucas82 not sure about the technical per se. I've seen them both play in the Dutch league and abroad since I was young. The scalpel / broadsword comparison is a very, very bad one. They just had a different style. It's like saying that compared to Ronaldinho Zidane is a crowbar. Just dumb.
@realdjoffski7201 totally agree I loved the Dutch back then, Davids was my favourite too!! Those were the days!!!
One of my fav players back in the days
very good episode ✨
Yo pls make a ruud gullit one he was a famous Dutch player like davids he also played with Cruyff and also played against Maradona he is a underated icon
Thanks for this excellent video, Edgar Davids was my favourite player as a kid and I didn't know much of this background detail
Yesss, please do Patrick Kluivert next!
He was literally one of my favourite players to watch. It didn’t matter who he was playing for, if he was playing I would watch it. That engine, determination, stamina and appetite was just surreal
Just a note: the 5th tier, Vanarama National / Conference is not amateur. Most teams are professional, with some being semi-pro. Barnet would have still been fully pro. I think the highest amateur team in the UK is Corinthian Casuals, who are 8th tier.
very entertaining player, that ajax team back in the day was stacked with great players.
I remember to 2000s Nike commercial he does a sick flick up back pass back to a teammate. I was inspired so I created a flick up freestyle that goes back to your other foot
Best nike commercial with v Gaal etcetera, Figo if I'm right..
BEST FOOTBALL RUclipsR
No other defensive midfielder in history of football , had that crazy technical skills like davids. He was also face for FIFA 2003 with ryan giggs and roberto carlos. Great memories.
Man Renato Sanchez reminds me so much of David's. It's unfortunate he is so injury prone
How did the Netherlands not win a World Cup... what players they had! I loved Davids.
because of racism in the team,no unity at all team was divided in the surinames vs the dutch
I remember my dad told me about a player who had glasses and really tough from ajax
my children idol.☀️🔥❌❌❌
Legend i was very happy when he signed in Barca ❤️💙
One of the greatest midfielders of the 90's and 2000. I have watched as a dutch person so many games of him, and he was very special. Unique. So strong and so teechnical.
There were some incredible Dutch players: johann cruyff, Edgar davids , arjen robben, mark overmars, giovani van bronchorst, Ruud van nistelrooy, ruud gullit, robin van persie, Dennis bergkamp, marco van basten, Clarence seedorf
Can you do a video on Juninho Pernambucano? He was a set piece specialist, but never made it to any of the top teams (Besides Lyon), despite clearly having the skill required
My #1 defensive midfielder of all time. The best enforcer.
1 of my Favorite Juventus Players back in the days.. 90's childhood days and 2000s teenage days
For me as a kid, it was very cool to have such an amazing player wearing glasses to play football too, it was very iconic.
Those orange glasses were so badass and terrifying for some reason
As a kid, i used to think edgar davids looks damn cool with those goggles/glasses. Very iconic and boy he is amazing
Insane when calling out racism is considered "burning bridges" but we know the Dutch
You could argue that but it was hardly the only coach he had issues with.
Yep typical dutch
Loved Davids back then what a player he was, no messing around just straight dominating players!! Those were the days!!!
Narrators tone is overly dramatic! Amazing piece on an amazing Guy
That's one hell of a career 👏 😳 joining the likes of Cesc, Zlatan, O'Fenomeno, and Vieira as the legends who failed to get their hand on the 'big ears'
he did, he just ddin't play in a final in wich he won, but he played through a winning campaign with Ajax
He did play in the final, It was like one of the main points of the video.
Great story as always! Love looking forward to seeing new story everytime 😆
Btw, could you check your inbox DDOF? I've sent you one 🥰!
One of my favourite players of all time.. what a legend.
I need a video of Marcelo 🔥
My daily dose of daily dose of football
PLEASE CAN YOU DO ROBERT ENKE NEXT, SUCH A TRAJIC STORY😔
Very very underrated.
Edgar davids is the Netherland Ronaldinho
A great player! I really liked him. His goggles made him iconic. A legend of the game!
Davids and Seedorf in midfield was a cheat code! ❤
One of my Favorite players from the 90s
When is a Leverkusen vid 🎉
One of the best DMF of all time!
Crazy story is I signed this guy for Barnet in cm01/02
Year was 2003, cm season like 2008-2010 after I was in the prem …
Real life the guy signed for Barnet in 2012
Do Karembeu
Grande Juventino, got his jersey, great player!
We used to joke in the Netherlands that the glasses were for protection against the bone splinters flying around.
The ending killed me lolololol
I always thought he looked like the villain in cyborg 1989.
Make a video about Jaap Stam.
the blood doping scandal and calciopoli scandal are 2 different ones separated by a decade
Please make a vid on Steve Mcmanaman
Edgar was all in all so good
Beast
Edgar David is one of the players who let fans who have bad vision a hope to become a professional player
Please do a video on Sunil Chhetri. He's more known for his goalscoring record on India Men's National Football Team.
🇮🇳
I've never seen another player so relentless, neither before nor after him. The very definition of a Pitbull.
Edgar Davids deserves some recognition too🔥
Do one for Josh McEachran
please make a documentary of raja nainggolan...
🇸🇷 where the real legends are made
David's del piero cannavaro nedved trezegut made me juve fan
Can you do Kevin Keagan
Do Luka Modric next
Edgar Davids tested positive for banned steroid nandrolone while playing for Juventus in 2001.
The Dutchman had been expected to receive a 16-month ban, which would have seen him miss the 2002 World Cup, but he was eventually given a four-month suspension, reduced from five on appeal. Numerous others including Pep Guardiola, Frank DeBoer & Jaap Stam tested positive (aka were caught)
Lest we forget, the game's four wealthiest leagues - in England, Italy, Spain and Germany - have more drug cheats than elsewhere because the world's biggest names play in them.
Louis Van Gaal turns up in the early career of so many of these players that go on to be world class!
Just do one on Dwight yorke
