I do this almost every time I find it difficult falling asleep.

Inspired by Naptu's sister thread I present to you, the list of the greatest footballers assembled in order of importance


Your opinions will be highly appreciated

TEAM 1

TEAM 2

TEAM 3

I am in love with the strike force of your second team. Van Basten is my all-time football hero. Romario (I'll never forget Man-U vs Barcelona (1994 season Champions League). Honourable mention goes to (Mr) George Weah.

I'll be back with my list.

NOTES
1. My biggets regret of the enitre list is not putting Van Basten in the first team. He was the most natural top nine of all times. He possessed al the qualities you can imagine in a perfet number nine. Just couldn't bump anyone of that list. I guess Basten is paying for not having any spectacular world cup appearance.

2. Just couldn't pick a coach for the other two teams. So very little to choose between the several options available, Rinus Michels, Mourinho, Hiddink, Jupp Henckyes, Lippi, Cappelo, Trappatoni, Gaurdiola, Beckenbuar but I guess Fergie stands head and shoulders above

3. Rijkaard is definitely not the best right full back of all times, but he was the most versatile footballer of all times. The right full back was just the only position left available for him to fill.

4. I find it extremely painful that Di stefano, Garrincha, Jairzinho, Eusebio, Gordon Banks Abedi Pele, Roger Milla, Henry Thiery, Hagi could not make that list. I was too tired to create a team 4 (maybe somebody else will help me with that).
And by the way, that's our own Rashidi Yekin up there (Admittedly, it was based on quota/home advantage, it should actually have been Samuel Eto)

How in the world did I forget George Oppong Weah (and Batistuta, Lineker and Matthias Sammer). But on a second thougth, who I go remove (ok, maybe Yekini)

Funny enough, the second team looks stronger (more balanced) than the first

@Mr Pak, I actually tried moving a few guys from your team2 to team1 and it was just impossible. nobody to substitute. You have an excellent team1.

Let's see if we can get this to the front page.

Did anyone notice Dunga appeared twice ? my bad - that should have been Lothar Mathaus in team 2

I agree, Moving to the front page will allow more peeps to contribute their lists.
who actually are the moderators over here ? wondering if they can be of help.

By the way, am still expecting your list.
