Yeah, I better tell Niamh at this point, that no Irish player made the top 40. I did consider Paul Mcgrath and Roy Keane, but it wasn't to be.

Also fun fact for you Alf since you had Pele at number 1, Football translated to Irish is Peile (pronounced similar to the player)

Did you consider Michael Laudrup? He was up there in the 80s with Platini and Maradona.

No. He's not even the best player in his family. His brother Brian was better.

Well I am biased and agree, but Michael was a top player in 84 and 86.

He was but I wouldn't have put him in the same class as Platini and Maradona.

Brian Laudrup is in my top-three favourite Rangers players, by the way, along with Gascoigne and Richard Gough.

Was Davie Cooper before your time?

What about the goal machine McCoist? or maybe the greatest Scottish keeper ever, Goram? Stuart McCall was also a very good Rangers player.

Think he only had a couple of seasons, but he did have some great moments.

Davie Cooper was kind of before my time. Loads of people said had one of the best left-feet and could have played in any top-team. He didn't play in a great Rangers side for some of his career.



Goram and Mccoist would be close to top-three favourite. McCall was good too.

Do you want a new Alf countdown on this?

I would come up with different placings in this now. Messi now has a World Cup winners medal and a South American championship winners medal since I did this. He would therefore have to be higher. I also think I did Maradona a disservice only having him at number 3. He was much better than that. How did I put him behind Cristiano Ronaldo? I must have still been on the pot at that time.

Alf already had the Kaiser in the top 7 players that ever lived.

His stock has probably gone up with his death. He'll be challenging the top five now.

Crazy that only three players in history have won the World Cup as a player AND a manager


If more crazy is than two of them have died in the last few DAYS !!
