No Gerry Armstrong?

Arguably the player of the tournament in 1982.

If Juste Fontaine isn't in the top 20, they can do one.

    - Argentina cheated their way to two world cups. 1978 was just unreal cheating. (Other Football) - Pit, May 28, 13:53:36
      - FIFA chose the kick off time not Argentina (Other Football) - Brandonio, May 28, 13:59:53
        
        Argentina told FIFA to change the kick off. Cheats. (Other Football) - Pit, May 28, 14:02:12
        
        well yes but that was before the tournament (Other Football) - Brandonio, May 28, 14:09:33

        Haha. (Other Football) - Garry Brooke, May 28, 13:12:03
        
        I think that Germany side gets unfairly maligned (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 13:16:30
        
        spot on, they were deserved winners (n/m) (Other Football) - Brandonio, May 28, 13:28:52
        
        oh, they certainly had great players (Other Football) - mr carra, May 28, 13:26:41

        A few more you could throw in as possibles... (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:11:08
        
        I reckon Eusebio will be in the top 5 (n/m) (Other Football) - mr carra, May 28, 12:43:43
        
        Cruijff - one tournament. (Other Football) - Garry Brooke, May 28, 12:16:09
        
        surely it isn't just based on performances in World Cups though? (Other Football) - mr carra, May 28, 12:41:37
        
        Well, that was my point. (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:43:20
        
        here goes...I was seething yesterday about Cubillas being so low down (Other Football) - Brandonio, May 28, 13:28:07
        
        it's probably harder for players to make a mark now... (Other Football) - mr carra, May 28, 13:35:07
        
        that's true but many great World Cup players will be left out the list (Other Football) - Brandonio, May 28, 13:45:43
        
        yes, that's a problem witha ll these "top 100" lists (Other Football) - mr carra, May 28, 13:58:25
        
        Completely agree - good mention of Gerd Muller btw (Other Football) - mr carra, May 28, 12:45:18
        
        I think Cruyff will be the highest placed player not be on a winning side (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:18:25
        
        Apart from 1986, yeah. (Other Football) - Garry Brooke, May 28, 12:22:23
        
        Me too - great debate, nothing too serious. (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:23:41
- Lineker at 47 is laughable. How does Carlos Alberto get to 34 for 1 World Cup? (n/m) (Other Football) - Hendrikos, May 28, 12:01:58
  - Lineker did shit himself during a World Cup match though. Extra points for that. (n/m) (Other Football) - bird table, May 28, 12:51:39
  - He should be higher (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:04:36
  - You think Lineker should be higher or lower? (n/m) (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, May 28, 12:03:38
    - Higher (at a lower number)! (n/m) (Other Football) - Hendrikos, May 28, 12:06:10
      - Lineker should be ranked higher but not at the expense of Carlos Alberto (n/m) (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:06:39
        
        Rivelino at number 32 is only 2 places higher than Alberto. Would you put Alberto ahead (Other Football) - Hendrikos, May 28, 12:09:24
        
        well clearly this debate could go on forever but yes... (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:12:19
        
        World cup winner and player at 3 world cups Jurgen Klinsmann at 96! No sign whatsoever (Other Football) - Hendrikos, May 28, 12:22:59

        Sorry, just seen this now. (n/m) (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 11:59:39
      - Not a very clear question then (n/m) (Other Football) - Charles21, May 28, 11:56:33
        
        It's open to misinterpretation I suppose. (n/m) (Other Football) - norway, May 28, 12:00:54
