That might be the best thing to do. People can still influence the list by posting their top 10 if they haven't already as the list would look a little bit strange at the moment.

Last chance to post your final lists in the main thread.

Not sure when I am going to do the results but it will be soon.

The chance to vote is now over.

The final results of the top 20 will be posted over the next few days and will be in reverse order.

20th-George Best-23 points

George Best is fondly remembered by many Manchester United fans for his time with the club and is remembered as one of their greatest ever players. Some consider him as the greatest ever British player ever and he is without question the greatest ever player from Northern Ireland. If it hadn't been for his controversial lifestyle then he may have done even more in his brilliant career.

I would have rated him higher but at least he just made the list.

I added my post just now, is it too late? Also, edit you're thread to make it clearer instead of adding posts.

Sorry for adding too many posts.

Saw your list now. Sorry it's too late. I might have added it if it only affected the points but that would have an effect the overall top 20 placings.

Ok , mate no worries. Also, it's fine just would be easier for people to keep track

I've edited the OP now so that it makes a bit more sense.

19th-Eusebio-23 points

Eusebio is regarded by many as the greatest Portuguese player of all time. He was the main player in the Portuguese team which reached the World Cup semi-finals in 1966 and he is probably the greatest ever Benfica player as he helped them win the European Cup, as well as scoring over 400 goals for them during his time there.

You've obviously never seen Sammy Clingan play.

He was in my FUT10 team I think.

18th-Michel Platini-24 points

Platini is regarded as many as one of the greatest ever French players. He was a pivotal part of the French team that won the Euros in 1984. He also played for Juventus in the 1980s and helped them beat then champions Liverpool in the 1985 European Cup Final. Since his playing days he has been French national team manager and President of UEFA.

Would you post them any quicker?

No.

Do you want me to do it quickly? I was going to wait a small while after each one to let it be discussed but if you feel I should do it quicker then I will.

17th-David Beckham-26 points

Beckham was a very surprise inclusion but none the less he has been a brilliant winger throughout his career and is one of the greatest England players of his generation. Even as he approaches retirement and loses a lot of ability, he has shown in recent times that he is still one of the greatest crossers the game has ever seen.

Not a worthy choice IMO, but still a great player none the less.

Beckham.

16th-Paul Scholes-30 points

Despite Paul Scholes being one of my favourite players, I was still very surprised to see him make the list. He was a brilliant player during his career at Man United. He was a great passer and had an amazing striker which he displayed with many superb goals. Paul has recently retired and will take his vast football knowledge into a coaching role into the one club he played for throughout all his career, Manchester United.

What kind of lists are these?

Paul Scholes, 16th best player ever.

This is the worst list ever made.

On another thread everyone posted their top 10 list, with their number 1 choice getting 10 points down to their number 10 who gets 1 point if you get what I mean, with all of their choices inbetween getting points in a descending order.

Basically it is all of the points put together, not just a random list from me.

Like I said, it is not my list. It is all of the forumers lists put together.
