It's nice that he stayed at Southampton, but he never played at the champions League level, or in Europe at all as far as I remember (may be wrong). Serie A was a bigger deal in his era. I'd love to have seen him play there, though I just can't see him measuring up against the all-time greats like Zidane, Baggio, Batistuta, or even the "second string greats" of the time like Mihajlovic or Hagi.
This is why I think he's underrated :)
