Forgot Georgie Best. He'd be between C.Ronaldo and Van Basten.

How good were some of the English guys like Shearer and Lineker?

Shearer was a monster in every sense, didn't see much of Lineker. Truth be told, the late 80's and 90's generation of English players absolutely shits all over this current one.

But doesn't make your list? Lineker was a poacher, from what I've seen. Yea, for sure. I've seen a lot of Hugo Sanchez, amazing athlete.

My list only went up to 17 to accommodate Sanchez.

So Sanchez> Shearer? I need to watch some other old guys. I watched Sanchez for obvious reasons.

Hard to compare players of different generations, but in terms of ability and talent, yes.

Great list and you are one of the very few people that seem to rate Romario as highly as I do. The most underrated player ever alongside Michel Platini who I personally rate above Zidane.

Yes... Romario is better than Pelé. And Eusebio better than Cristiano... And Batistuta and Sanchez are in that list.

OK. And someone thought that was a great list, because you put Cristiano in 12th postiion...
