    how Gareth Bale is not Ranked in top 50?(need to update)
    and how this player http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Gallagher_(footballer) is better than David Beckham?
    and lastly Geoff Hurst should be in top 50

    ReplyDelete

    1. OK, I have updated and Gareth Bales is now 50th (I've not get into deep analysis into this list anyway). Patirck Gallagher, I read his biography and some evidences tell us he was a phenomenon dribbler and spectacular style of player, was one of the very best wingers in the world in the first half 1920s. Beckham is overrated for his high place in Ballon'Dor, he is awarded Premier League player of the month only one time (There have been 30 players won more than once). He was also rated by media rather low in his best season (around 6.60), is lower than many other top players. If not care with the award and rating, His qualification is too limited in dribbling, speed and left-foot.
      Geoff Hurst was famous for his scoring important goals in World Cup final match but he is rather lower than other players in overall club career. This list has taken top 50 players in each top English clubs by the Time into account.

    Paul McGrath was better than Hansen. Hansen lacked height and speed. McGrath had a more successful international career than Hansen.

    1. Hansen was better in game reading and set the game from the back-line. Even Mcgrath has done better in NT level, He was inconsistent by injury in club career that is a major part in evaluation.

    I'm sorry... Steven Gerrard is the 6th best British footballer of all time? Surely that's a mistake...

    1. I think the debatable candidates are only Charles, Finney and Dalglish. The first two are better in overall ability but their career were too limited. Charles played in second division too long and Finney was highly interrupted by the World War II. In my scorecard, Dalglish is much better in int.club part but the domestic and international country is given to Gerrard in a higher points. Anyway, I think they could be in a similar level.

    I would suggest that as a Liverpool supporter that Ian Callaghan should be placed somewhere in your offensive lateral category . He played a record 856 games for the club from the 1960-78 seasons in which he help the club claim five league titles , two uefa cups and the europeon cup. I personally reckon that a top twenty berth would be about right . A great compilation and ranking system brilliant work!

      thank you for your reply , can I add another suggestion ? clem Stephenson was a centre midfielder who gave diligent service to aston villa prior to and after the first world war before going on to be the key player for Herbert chapman's Huddersfield town helping them to the first division title three times plus two times runners up .

    3. I'm not sure why he won only 1 caps in the era that is no superb player in the same position.

    Would love to see your choices if you were restricted to only picking 3 players from each of the home nations. 11 + a manager.

    Mine would be 343 of
    Jennings (N)
    Moore (E), Hansen (S), Wright (E)
    Best (N), Bremner (S), Blanchflower (N), Giggs (W)
    Allchurch (W), Dean (E), Charles (W)

    You probably missed John Hollins due to only having 1 cap for England. He was named Arsenal Player of the Year in 1982 and twice Chelsea Player of the Year, not to mention abnormal consistency throughout his career. One of the most underrated English player ever.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I understand it's still early in his career, but is Sterling worth a place in the Offensive Lateral list?

    ReplyDelete

    1. His performance has qualified for 4 seasons. I set around 5 to make a list.

  11. Great to see a few more additions to an ever growing list, pleasantly surprised to see Peter Osgood as well, as a Chelsea fan. I was wondering if Joe Hart and Bill Foulkes had a place. Hart is among Englands most capped and most decorated Keepers at club level.
    And while Bill Foulkes only managed the 1 cap for England, he is one of Uniteds most prominent figures of the Matt Busby era, winning 4 league titles, an FA Cup and the European Cup (could have well been 2 if not for the Munich disaster). Some of the more nostalgic United fans often regard him as possibly United's greatest defender (though I might not be quite so generous).

    1. I agree Joe Hart could make the list as he was 3 times PFA team of the year and 3 times Premier League Golden Glove. Players with few caps or even never caps are fine if they played well enough in domestic football but candidates in NT are too great. I will add him somewhere.

    Frank Stapleton and Tony Woodcock deserves a mention. They were great forwards in late 70's and early 80's

  13. Hello. I have a doubt... Read about Shackleton, and he appears to have been more a forward than a midfielder. On the other hand, I think Le Tissier’s best position was an advanced midfielder and not a forward.

    Looking forward to your comments.

    1. I did not provide advanced midfielder position in UK List because it is not traditional position of British player. Too few players who possesses this style.

    How is Scott Parker rated above Michael Carrick? He played only five Champions League tournament matches in his career.

    How Ledley King (average defender with no titles and no NT history) can be 21th and before defender like Gough Ratcliffe or O'Leary.... He is not even top 50

  17. I wonder how highly you take international football into account with these rankings. For example, Maguire being in the list after Euro's Team of the Tournament but having a pretty average club career, yet John Stones & Steve Bruce for example don't make it.
