A factual list of the Greatest ever players is out! Its a factual list because the criteria judged to get into this list is points based. Points are given to number of games started, goals scored, assists made, cups won, clean sheets, honours won and what not.
Here is the funny part, there are players in the list or are in positions where we find questionable. We are talking about a list of players to be the greatest ever of all time!
Factor no 1, you will notice that most of the players played in the 90s or later. Due to the amount of games played compared to 2 decades ago, it is a bias way to compare but it is what it is.
Questionable players on their positions in the list includes Diego Maradona. We thought he was the best Player of the century. Well, some of us think that he is 2nd only to Pele. But in this list, Maradona is ranked 6. After the likes of Ronaldo, Romario, Luis Figo and Zidane.
We are also talking about no.26, Ali Daei from Iran, no.42 Hakan Sukur, no.44 David Beckham, no.58 Silvian Wiltord, no.61 Davor Suker, no.86 Gary Neville, no.95 Fabian Barthez and no.99 Robert Pires. Yes these are good players, but if you make a list of the top 100 greatest players, will you even consider Ali Daei? Forget the fact that he is the 26th greatest player ever! And you know what, more players in that list other than these mention don't deserve to be in that list either.
Here have a look.
