Out of the SI Forums I think these would be the top 10 players
1... Richie J. Is an actually proper goalkeeper for a real team.
2... Goddard. Once scored a goal by dribbling around all 22 players on the pitch, both managers, the ref and assistants before flicking the ball up with his heel and knocking it into the goal with his penis. While blindfolded.
3... Gimp_Basket_Smiles. I have seen his soccer skillz videos. They are so good they demanded the 'z'.
4... Argel. If not in the football sense, then the lothario sense (if the stories are to be believed).
5. Nelly. Would wind the opposition up at least.
6. PMLF. Mandatory overrated South American.
7. Jason Kabia. Almost played in the World Cup for Tunisia.
8. Me. Almost came through a trial for Calgary United.
9. Kill Rock Stars. Reasonably sure he is a lesbian, possibly a pre-operative transexual. So probably the best woman footballer in the world.
10. Bert. Would really get stuck into the opposition. Particularly if he had a bayonet and the opposition were commie pigdogs.

Can I ask why you're doing this "list" if you're expecting all the usual suspects? It would be practically the same as the rest of them and a total waste of time would it not?
No one ever takes any of those lists seriously and tbh, no one's going to take this list seriously...
Out of interest...And because I saw loads of people here disagree with the other major lists, so thought they could have input into making their own...
It's not so much about having the 'usual suspects' on the list..Im fairly confident, for instance, that Pele will end up number 1 (maybe a slight chance at number 2), but I think the order will be interesting. And it should give a good general overview, not limited to a few heads of big organisations being biased for different reasons.. (obviously there will be some bias here, but the bigger hte sample space, the better the end result)

I'm combing the results from here, and another well known online forum where I'm doing the same thing...
Make sure they have a nice parting then, won't you.

I think NO ONE seriously would think (as the example mentions above) that Gillingham players are the best in the world...otherwise they'd be winning the league, getting promoted OR atleast being bought by bigger clubs..
I think people have misconstrued what you mean, otherwise you wouldn't have the mish-mash of lists. And my point wasn't that Gillingham players are world beaters (although have you seen Aaron brown play in centre-mid?). My point was you never made it clear what players you wanted and what criteria you are setting the selection by.
And with you discarding some responses, it merely makes your report hideously biased as you are not taking into account the criteria people are using. Because you never established any criteria yourself.
I think it was clear and obvious that these people voted as jokes, to be funny, or to make a point. Not to legitimately vote...I'm not releasing the results until the end, to try and stop people changing hteir order to help different players, for instance, if a Cruyff fan put him first, and left Maradona off the list so that Cruyff beat Maradona.
