He is pretty fairly rated. Never heard anyone say he is not a legend.
He is fairly rated.

In Italy especially. During his career there was the neverending debate about him and Totti. These days everyone respects them. It doesn't matter if they're Inter fans, Napoli fans or Roma fans. Everyone agrees they have had incredible careers and Italian football was lucky to have them.

No new attacking stars that followed them made both even more appreciated. Buffon and Pirlo were the biggest stars after them but both were not attackers.

If you're looking at forwards, Balotelli during Euro 2012 probably came closest to stardom. That was over 10 years ago and in the end it didn't materialise.

I always get the vibe from you that you dont really like Del Piero and feel the need to balance out all the love and adoration everyone else has for him.
Oh no, he's my childhood idol and my all time favorite player. I hope he gets some sort of function with us in the coming years.

Which is why I'm very critical of the things he gets wrong. He has vastly improved as a tv personality over the years, but I don't think he has quite the substance to his personality just yet to be on our board.
