EdMoses 12,879 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 Some of you may have visited the thread that Mudito set up regarding the best player of all time, if you haven’t I suggest you head over and vote from the selection he has presented, here’s the link http://forum.soccermanager.com/showthread.php?t=109722 However the thread started a debate about who should or shouldn’t be on the list. To that end I have decided to produce my own poll - inspired by Mudito - with a difference. In an attempt to be a little more “definitive” if indeed on can be definitive about a subject open to opinion, I am asking for forummers to nominate their own top 10 players, in no particular order. As soon as a player reaches 15 nominations he will be entered into the overall top 10. Once we have a completed top 10 we can then open up a poll for voting. It will be interesting to compare the results to Mudito’s findings – I have a feeling our top three will still be Maradona, Pele and Messi for instance. Simply post a list of those ten players you regard as the best of this or any era. You’re all ugly enough to decide what defines that greatness, fell free to add details. But within your post please display an uninterrupted list of players 1 – 10. I shall get the ball rolling myself in a moment. 1 sirmarkhughes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

josee10 171 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 Respuesta: The Greatest - Nominations Thread It's hard to choose just 10, but these are my chosen ones. Cruyff Maradona Gullit Zidane Van Basten Ronaldo Pele Beckenbauer Yashin di Stefano I have not put any active player because they do not know if they're among them until they retire ... Bye!!

Zakkoo 2,889 Report post Posted January 16, 2012 Re: The Greatest - Nominations Thread IMO: Pele Best Charlton Zidane Ruud Van Nistelrooy Gascoigne Giggs Messi Owen Gerrard Simply a set of players I've seen a lot of footage on or have thoroughly enjoyed watching in my time, no point me putting up names of players I've barely watched play or never even seen them at all.
