Agree with pretty much everything. But just can't have a gk in the top 10. No matter how good he is, even if he has a Ballon d'or like Yashin

It's not just a keeper, it's Yashin. The fact that he is the Greatest in his position universally, even when the likes of Buffon, Banks, Neuer, Zoff, Schmeichel, etc exists; makes me go for him. The next one is R9 btw.

Yeah we'll disagree on this one. Just can't have Yashin over R9. Just can't

Can see the logic, but I personally feel Goalkeepers gets way too underrated and the GoAT should be in top 10.

Don't know about underrated, I just normally keep keepers seperate to every other player. They almost play a different sport altogether

In general

 

[Thala_0710]

In general

Viv probably higher than Hadlee then?

 

[Furball]

Puskas and di Stefano played walking football.

Puskas and di Stefano played walking football.

So less sleeping??

 

[capt_Luffy]

Maybe. It's close between those two for me. Hadlee wasn't half bad in ODIs himself.
