One was Luis Suarez Miramontes the legendary Spanish midfielder who won the Ballon d'Or in 1960...

The other one was the Uruguayan snack attack....
 
It's always going to be difficult comparing players across eras.

My era of growing up and becoming a football fan was the late 1970s through the 1980s so my internal perspective and emotional nuance tends to reflect the teams and players that dominated those years.

There's no way I'd have Messi ahead of Maradona!!
 
the only reason Mono and myself responded was because some journo scribed from your original post - some may say of all time.
There is no doubt he ranks dam high but not near of all time, thats it......
Like I said some rankings baffle me.
Sport Bible.
Ronaldinho @ 21 and Xavi @ 6 - could I really rate Xavi that much higher a player to Ronaldinho ? lets classify them as midfielders even though Ronald could play wing as well - I see Ronaldinho a utter wizard compared to Xavi and no doubt he was brilliant but ?
Like wow
Di Maria @ 17 ! - now thats fecked up.

Slightly disappointed the ultras didn't have a cable going across the block with shirts hung! I thought they may have presented her with a commemorative washing basket.

You wonder whether Spurs will cut club jobs if they go down. Sunderland had to gut their departments when they went to League One and it's sadly the average people getting hurt.
 
I've been watching a lot of Lens's games this season and have been hugely impressed by this team....

But there's a lot more to this football club than what happens on the pitch.

RC Lens is a passionate football club deeply rooted in the working-class mining heritage of northern France. Its fans, stadium, and symbols proudly celebrate the region's tough industrial history and strong community spirit.

And the mining heritage of the Lens region in northern France's Pas-de-Calais department is a proud part of France's great industrial history.

So I thought I'd write up an article for my Le Foot blog about the club's historic relationship with the local miners and mining industry.....
