Ruben Sosa

red · Oct 6, 2016

My favourite Inter player when I started following the club and criminally overlooked over the years in favour of players like Zamorano and Recoba, who had vastly inferior goal scoring records for the club.

Cruelly sold to Dortmund in '95 to make way for Paul Ince, Zanetti (fair enough), Roberto Carlos (also fair) and Sebastien Rambert (lol) - back in the days of the 3 foreigner limit (for the starting 11).

His goal-scoring record was great and his long-range shooting was amazing.

Sosa - 76 apps 44 goals
Zamorano - 101 apps 25 goals
Recoba - 248 apps 72 goals

Try and ignore the horrific music and check this out:

You forgot about Caio (maybe even more lol than Rambert). 26 games (6 for Inter) in Serie A and whooping total of zero goals scored.

And I would be a pretty lousy fanboy if I didn't point out that Recoba's stats look worse than they really are since he was often used as a sub. Goals and assists per minute would do him more justice.

Sosa was pretty awesome though. You're right about that. :thumbsup:

The 80s music isnt horrific, it's just the 80's.

Ruben Sosa rocks.

Ruben Sosa was cool. I remember those thundering shots of his.

Limit was for match day squad.

He was before my time as a fan, but based on what I saw in vids his most important contribution to us was arguably the assist he made to Jonk in the 2nd leg of the UEFA cup final against Salzburg.

I followed Inter closely the season he signed, as Igor Shalimov had moved there.They had a very good creator-scorer partnership that year, then Shalimov began a steep descent into mediocrity afterward, giving his infamous interview in the Moscow press about the fact he couldn't be bothered with the effort it took to play at this level and hold down a first team place.

Sosa was a very good forward, better than a quick glance at his overall scoring record in Italy would suggest imo.It wasn't easy at all to score loads back then.inter maybe did get rid of him at around the right time though, he seemed to be finished very quickly after going to Dortmund.
