	84, not bad. I have to admit I saw the list some times ago. Bergkamp should be on top of the list, he was the very best. Surprisingly there are players I never heard of (Kubala, Futre, Tostao...)

	It's a great quiz and an interesting list, one I don't have too many problems with. Bit biased towards goalkeepers like. And whoever put Baxter in front of the likes of Papin, Czibor, Blokhin, Johnstone and Nordahl should be shot. I got 85 myself, whcih I'm pretty proud of as of the ones I missed Chilavert, Boniek and Falcao were the only ones I had even hafl a chance of remembering.

	Günter Netzer is German, not Dutch. :)

	I know that you didn't make the ranking. But I have to say that it seems too english-oriented (too many players from Wales or Scotland for example). Not surprising when you know that the poll was conducted by an English magazine, and done by English readers. Kenny Dalglish, 22th, really ? Obviously trying to establish a ranking over soccer players is ill-posed, since you cannot compare two players at different positions, from different periods.

	Should Michael Owen really get in there ahead of Scholes or Keane who were at their peaks at the end of the 20th century with numerous trophies to their name, while Owen had just begun his career?

	I agree, the list is too British and a bit too modern-oriented in my opinion. Great players from the past like Leonidas, Andrade, Varela, Walter, Lato, Masopust are missing. But nonetheless I liked it.
