Always hard to rank keepers in these lists but gut reaction was Buffon should be higher. Rooney, on the other hand, accurate

dancoombs2d ago

Took me ages to double check it.. I knew I remembered him… DidI was a legend for Classic Brazil on Pro Evo 2

david.comerford4d ago

I'm glad multiple people haven't heard of Didi, was questioning my football knowledge for a second

ewingdave54d ago

Where's Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton. George Best, Jimmy Greaves??????

chillout4d ago

Maybe in the top 40.

seanfisher4d ago

Rooney is wayyyy too far down this list!

theworm4d ago

Wait ,,,,,, Sergio Ramos never expected

markmarston4d ago

Rooney= 481 goal involvement across his career Salah= 414 goal involvements across his career Rooney was also far more than just a stats guy, he could do EVERYTHING. No rationale behind Salah going above Rooney I’m sorry… not to mention the difference in trophies 🙈

Rooney is the best British player of all time. The mind boggles that he’s been put so low. A key figure in a dynasty led by the great Sir Alex Ferguson. Salah above Rooney… based on what? One PL title he won 😂 Rooney won five times the amount 🙈

lee.connor4d ago

Gary Neville once said Rooney could do everything that all the best Man United strikers of all time could do, but do them all and to the same level. Says it all. The bloke was a ridiculous footballer.

jordan.harris4d ago

I love Batistuta! The days of one Champions League game a week on ITV and he would always seem to score a worldie. Incredible striker

dantowen819514d ago

That goal he scored at Old Trafford years back 😭about the hardest shot I’ve seen

dantowen819514d ago

I think I’d put Rooney ahead of Lewandowski! A more complete footballer

chillout4d ago

To be honest I wouldn’t have any of those three in my top 50. And if Harry Kane features, I will delete the app !!

paddy4d ago

I’m guessing Henrik Larsson and Jimmy Johnstone are in the top 10…

chillout4d ago

Larsson was class !!

charlesjones4d ago

Only two former Celtic players belong on here mate and they both played for Liverpool

lee.connor4d ago

Who on earth is Did? Rooney should be higher in my opinion but maybe biased cos probably the best player of my generation really loving football.

markmarston4d ago

Rooney is top 20… this is mental

amirmir4d ago

Rooney behind Salah 😂😂😂😂😂 Salah spent his teenage years trying to make a name for himself in the pyramid league, while Rooney spent his teenage years scaring the living daylight out of PL defenders. As a youngster or at his peak, Salah doesn't touch Rooney.

charlesjones4d ago

Salah had the greatest PL season of all time aged 33 while Rooney was at DC United…

callum_boyle4d ago

Can only presume Jamie Vardy’s absence is down to the fact he’s higher on the list. Rooney should probably be higher. Also, if you don’t know who Didi is you should really go and watch some clips of him. A Brazilian genius

charlesjones4d ago

Least spectacular highlight reel I’ve ever seen. https://youtu.be/fKlPlN4b-oU?is=IoaTzNEzIk_qP_dv

george.patten4d ago

Having a player most people have never heard of in the top 50 footballers of all time is certainly a choice… Didi - Give me a break…

jonny4d ago

Sergio Ramos is the more egregious admission here

chillout4d ago

There aren’t too many players who have 2 or more World Cup winners medals !!

jonny4d ago

Rooney behind Salah, Lewandowski, Didi and Sergio Ramos?!? He is inside the top 25 at minimum, this list already has so many problems!

chillout4d ago

chillout4d ago

Difficult to make any judgments on any of this until the Top 50 have been released to be honest. Whether Rooney or Salah need to be higher will become more obvious when the rest of the top 50 is released.

jonny4d ago

Rooney needs to be higher regardless!

charlesjones4d ago

Rooney nowhere near a top 50 player of all time. Who on earth is Didi?

chillout4d ago

Yeah - I’m interested in who has been left out, but we’ll haven’t wait to know that.
