How Ruud Gullit Became the Best Player in the World | Goals, Skills and Assists 1985—1987

A complete overview of Ruud Gullit's spell at PSV Eindhoven that earned him 1987 Ballon d'Or and a world record transfer to AC Milan. During his 2 seasons at PSV he had won 2 Eredivisie titles (beating van Basten's and Rijkaard's Ajax on both occasions) — and scored 53 goals in 75 games, despite playing half of the games as a libero, a free-roaming central defender.

Of course he kept performing to the highest possible standard in the next few years at Serie A, but it's this period that shows Ruud Gullit at his devastating best — where everything revolves around him as he is PSV's best defender, midfielder and attacker, and it's incredible to witness such an outstanding all-rounded performance over the stance of couple consecutive seasons.
