I was watching some all-time XI’s by former footballers and analysists and was asking to myself: “Did football start in the 90’s for these people?”

I understand that people will always be biased towards the players that they got to experience and have an attachment to, but do you think that players from the old era like Eusebio, Rivera, Meazza, Di Stefano, Etc… are underrated compared to modern legends?

    I think this happens in all sports, many players that played a long time ago may have been great but there aren’t many people around to have watched them. I wouldn’t say it’s recency bias as much as it’s “I saw this guy play”.
