Who saw him on the pitch, knows he was one of the few real worldclass forward ! Merci JPP!

A superb striker who probably doesn’t get spoken of on the world stage enough in my option. Simply a joy to watch

Papin will always be the supreme goalscorer.

Growing up jpp was my favourite player, his goals were off the scale, he is one of the reasons I love football ...class.

One of my absolute favorites....he was phenomenal. I remember how incredibly happy i was when he moved to FC Bayern München.... unfortunately his injuries never really healed up and he never returned to the old Papin.

Plus, him and Jürgen Klinsmann we're to similar in terms of needing room upfront. Wonder how they would have played together in top form....

On paper.... Jürgen Klinsmann, Jean-Pierre Papin and Emil Kostadinov sounded great....but on the field only Klinsmann delivered.

Same with the center attacking nidfielders Bayern München had....Mehmet Scholl, Ciriaco Sforza and Andreas Herzog...

Scholl was and remains a Bayern München legend....Sforza previously had a fantastic year in Kaiserslautern  as playmaker that played incredible long distance passes and worked defensively....Andreas Herzog was phenomenal at Bremem as 10....a goal scorer that reminded me of Andreas Möller....plus he came up under the new Bayern München coach Otto Rehhagel....

What happened? Only Scholl delivered after much personal issues and arguments with Rehhagel. Sforza was mediocre....Herzog a complete disaster.

In the end it was the Bayern München bench players like Marcel Witezcek, Christian Nerlinger, Alexander Zickler, Christian Ziege etc and Lothar Matthäus/Thomas Helmet that saved the year with an Uefa Cup trophy against Zidane & Lizarazu's Girondins Bordeaux....after defeating FC Barcelona 😂....in the Bundesliga we barely made it on spot 6....😂

He used to take the shot early.  Didn’t mess about.

One of my Favorites

France 🇫🇷 greatest #9? Oui

Great player, always overlooked I think

A wonderful football player.

Lethal marksman who scored special goals…you could say akin to David Villa/Kun Aguero in style

L E G E N D

placing ball into the goal net.

Jean pa pa pa

Overshadowed by Cantona and Henry, but still a world class striker. Just as good as Klinsmann or Baggio at the time.

Papin if he played now would be better than the likes of haaland he was tactically smart and could adjust to any match situation

No way papin could compete against todays players like maguire and luke shaw.

JPP was very criminally underrated and overlooked when it comes to being one of the best strikers of his era.
