Can't wait to come back tomorrow morning and see that either Beckham, Gascogne or Vinnie Jones is number 1.

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 !!

Maybe I'll do a more modern list next time, maybe a Premier league all time top 40?

I'll let Annie's kid decide if I should or not.

He said "yeah that would be pretty sick" which I think means "yes, that would be great please Alf"

I agree Ronaldo is better than Messi. I dont think its much of a footballing debate anymore.
