Greaves picks his greatest 50 British footy players of all time

[Fensta]

Koff jimmy, that list is bollocks. He hasn't been relevant or interesting since the days of Saint n Greavsie.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The obvious weird ones are no place for Southall, Scholes being so low down and Gazza being so far up.

 

[Blue 1]

Also agree Seaman better than NeV

Ridiculous. Seaman was a great keeper but wasn't even in the same league.

In his prime Big Nev was peerless, the best in the world.

 

[mythbuster]

Number 1 spot has to go to Giggs, surely? Absolutely astonishing career.

The obvious weird ones are no place for Southall, Scholes being so low down and Gazza being so far up.

Agree with those but have to say John Terry being on the list is the most ridiculous. Hansen, Ferdinand, Butcher, Ratcliffe, Keown... all better than him.

Probably the most overrated human of all time.

Having just read through this thread, I'm astonished there have only been a couple of references to Ball only making it to 30th. Arguably the greatest player to pull on the royal blue jersey (and an england one for that matter). Gazza wasn't fit to lace his boots.

 

[mawders]

Yeah, but Gazza loves a drink too. And played for Spurs.

 

[ToffeeDan]

Approximately his best XI

Banks, McNeill, Moore, Charles (in defence), Cole, Haynes, Gascoigne, Matthews, Charlton, Best, Law

Approximately our best XI

Southall, Stevens, Labone, Ratcliffe, Wilson, Ball, Young, Kay, Sheedy, Dean, Lawton - (or similar)

Wouldn't mind seeing that game.

 

[blueser]

What the fukc is Jimmy "Jinky" Johnstone?

Celtic player deserves to be in there.

 

[Hibbo]

This list is of best player, I am not of this thinking. We think of best player with most heart and admission so I will say Tony Hibbert makes the top of list.

 

[lmurkder]

Its quite possibly the worst list ive ever seen.

Agreed. That list is like a gash Steven Naismith.
