The Definitive TWF World XI thread (1986-present) - CENTRE FORWARD VOTING OPEN

[Jinky]

PS sorry for late title amendment - I wasn't online last night. Blame Jinky - the lazy git managed to submit his names into the thread hours ago but didn't edit the title. Shocking moderating IMO.

I apologise. I was drunk and fuming at the lack of Ginola love.

Right, change of plan. This is another walkover for the two winners so trimming it slightly short - apologies to anyone who fancied a late vote but a) it wasn't going to make any difference and b) don't be so bloody tardy in future

Want to get this wrapped up for completion's sake and so we can start the next thread (which I think people will like).

Lionel Messi - 154 (wins due to most first place votes)
Cristiano Ronaldo - 154
Ryan Giggs - 54
Ronaldinho - 51
David Beckham - 41
Thierry Henry - 37
Arjen Robben - 35
Luis Figo - 29
Pavel Nedved - 13
Gareth Bale - 12
Neymar - 7
Hristo Stoichkov - 6
Robert Pires - 6
Diego Maradona - 4
Eden Hazard - 4
Franck Ribery - 4
David Ginola - 4
Marc Overmars - 4
Thomas Müller - 2
Mesut Özil - 1
Kenny Dalglish - 1

Final one then. Your main striker. Should be fairly unambiguous, everyone knows what a central striker is.

I'm out for a chunk of tomorrow so let's say votes close at 7pm. Then I'll sort out the scores in the evening at some point.

Mods, title please, ta.

Alan Shearer

Much like i said with Messi, if you saw Ronaldo play at his best then he has to be number 1 imo.

It's not like me to issue propaganda videos. But I'm doing it this time.



It hurts to not put Shearer at #1 because he was just unreal. But Ronny...there aren't any words. Even when he was fat and totally knackered, have a look at this:



Is Messi the best ever, quite possibly because of the longevity of him and the ridiculous numbers. Would never knock him in a million years. But if Ronaldo had stayed fit...he was just the ultimate forward. You couldn't want any more in terms of skill, pace, strength, finishing...he was like a cheat player on a video game. It isn't fair that he was that good.

He and Totti are the only two players I can think of that have had highlight reels that truly matched their hype.
