[EddieG]

Considering EWB is still going list crazy.. time for me to bring another craze to the sports forum.

So please list your top 10 (association) football players, very simple, 1st pick gets 10 points, 2nd gets 9 points, etc, etc

Keep in mind, this is a list of your FAVORITE players, they don't necesarrily have to be the best, but your favorite, which is why mine will include a lot of (former) Feyenoord players.

Or at least Dutch ones.
