I'd also mention centre forward Ottmar Walter, Fritz's brother: he didn't have a great National Team career but at club level was (and still is)...
WHAT THE HELL is your problem for openly offending me in a discussion I was not even taking part in??! You just feel like you wanna take another...
Following from some comments I and other posters made in other threads, I’ll attempt here to make a list of the players who scored most official...
Precisely, Bierhoff was particularly well-known for his headers. Obviously he was a good striker overall, and in 1997-98 had a great season (plus...
That he played better. In 1997-98, he had a better season than Bierhoff, irrespective of how many goals did they score.
I don't think there's any standout team in world football really, and the quality is overall quite low. Germany is probably still the toughest...
This is mere statistics. I know how many goals did they score and for which team did they play. But people who watched Ronaldo at the time were...
Just a note: I don't care about who's better, and I've already stated that I think Neymar will not reach GOAT level, but hell Ronaldo outperformed...
This is precisely what Carlito said. He said literally that Maradona was not eligible for the Ballon d'Or, and that's why he didn't win it in 1986...
Precisely. And I obviously don't rank GOAT players based on how many World Cups did they win. Cruijff, Di Stéfano and Messi are GOAT level...
I think @carlito86 exaggerates just very slightly here and there (for example, I believe that Neymar is more than just "good"/"very good" in...
@PuckVanHeel, do you have any info on the goals scored by Dutch legend Abe Lenstra? He is said to have scored more than 500 league goals in the...
I think it's the other way round: that RSSSF page tried but did not manage to include Binder's goals for St Polten and some of Bene's goals in the...
Yes, a list like this would be for statistical purposes only -goals are not weighed and there is no attempt at a distinction between open play...
Here it is. [IMG]
That's a list of all the official goals ever scored by those players, this is why Romario's tally is so much higher than Peterhrt's. That is a...
Precisely what I thought and said some months ago. Neymar scored tons of goals in frendlies, that's why I'm not impressed by his NT goal tally....
:D:D You have to love the XIXth century way of putting things. It's just so funny. And I read the "never lost his temper" line about more than one...
This would require a lot of analysis of very hard-to-find articles and books, but based on my perception right now I'd say that in the forward...
Ok, for now I'll just say that I think that all the most relevant footballers of the time have been selected / listed by Tom. Great job. (Though I...
This is GREAT. I'll try to reply as soon as I'll have the chance.
I agree with many of the things you say, but for me Pelé's career up until he was 25 is unmatched (by the way, if Messi had quit after the 2010-11...
Among Italian players, apart from Rivera, Meazza was extremely accomplished by the time he turned 20 (obviously we don't have videos, sadly)....
He most certainly was, I always thought so. Perhaps Maradona has a claim of having been equally talented at that age, but what Pelé accomplished...
By the way, if you count the German league from 1929-30 to 1938-39, then aforementioned Erwin Helmchen scored 370 "good" goals in first division...
