Michael Laudrup – The Danish Prince

With "tremendous fluent gifts"

Brian Glanville penned the spark
Illusion in classic Hummell
Laudrup, Prince of Denmark

Master of the "spoon" pass
Five La Liga's in a row
"Was the greatest" proclaimed Stoickov
"El Genio" thought Zamorano

Enriched by number 9's genius
Flawless Catalonian roulette
Cruyff chose his mirror image
More poetic than native Hamlet

Floating like a summer draught
Solo dribble against Uruguay
"The memory be green"
"Season your admiration for a while"

"The memory be green."

Season your admiration for a while."

William Shakespeare, Hamlet: 1.2
