@Perú FC how did Cruyff find himself in such a low position for the 60s(below gento/jairzinho even though at club he reached greater heights than those names particularly as best player in his teams run to the European cup final 69) Seeing as this is a accumulative ranking for best players in every year I dont see how mane ranked as high as 7th when after 62 his form severely deteriorated He reached a higher peak than cruyff in the 60s but no way was he amongst the best players in world for longer than him during that decade Puskas is unfortunately underrated here for a plethora of reasons The 1960 ballon dor should've been his for a GOAT scoring campaign in the league and European cup(including 4 in the final) His GPG this season is higher than any of CR or messi's la liga campaigns I don't see George Best/Charlton even in their prime being more valuable than this guy (who was "past it" and in his 30s)
Zequinha III, named Jose Pereira da Silva had 5 caps in 1971 for Brazil. He was a RW and CF for Botafogo
Hello, remember that these rankings were the work of Tom Stevens; What Peru FC is doing is adding some mentions of honor that, in their opinion, Tom lacked at the time. This does not significantly change Tom's work. On the other hand, I am entertaining myself in giving a score to all the players inserted in the top 23 and in the honorable mentions, based on some numerical criteria that I explained on several occasions. As you say, it is cumulative, which means that those players who had a very prominent year (for example Schillacci), but who did not have a continuity in time, will eventually occupy a modest place in the final classification of the decade. However, from the idea by which this thread was born and with the intention of revising year by year, Tom Stevens created another thread in which we do exactly the same, that is, discuss the presence or absence of the players in that hypothetical top 23. I do not know if you know him, but it would be very interesting your presence in the same to contribute and "decide" with everyone who were the best of each season. https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/bigsoccers-players-of-the-season-1968-69.2103229/
Creo que hay una pequeña errata en la claificación de menciones honoríficas de 1976. En lugar de Toninho Guerreiro, me temo que debe decir Toninho Cerezo...
I should clarify some points. From 1920 to 1994 all the lists (including the honorable mentions) are entirely Tom Stevens's work and I only collect and order all the information displayed in the thread. I've only made the lists from 1995 to 2018 (until now). The cumulative ranking that you quote is a Titanlux's work from the data collected here and according to his own equation. What I can point is the data from Tom's work. This is from the 1960's: Johan Cruyff Tops 23: 1967, 1968 and 1969 Podiums: None * Although Tom highlights him in an advanced group in 1969 as 6th. Honorable Mentions: None Francisco Gento Tops 23: 1960 Podiums: None Honorable Mentions: 1961, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966 and 1968 Jairzinho Tops 23: 1964, 1968 and 1969 Podiums: None * Although Tom highlights him in an advanced group in 1968 as 4th. Honorable Mentions: None I'm not sure who you mean in your second paragraph. By the way, in this exercise Tom chose Puskás as the best player of the 1959-60 season, which seems to agree with your opinion (I also agree). From the 1960's: Ferenc Puskás Tops 23: 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and 1964 Podiums: 1 (1st in 1960) Honorable Mentions: None George Best Tops 23: 1965, 1966, 1967, 1968 and 1969 Podiums: 1 (1st in 1968) * Although Tom highlights him in an advanced group in 1967 as 4th. Honorable Mentions: None Bobby Charlton Tops 23: 1961, 1962, 1965, 1966, 1967 and 1968 Podiums: 1 (1st in 1966) * Although Tom highlights him in an advanced group in 1967 as 5th. Honorable Mentions: 1960, 1963 and 1964
Thank you very much, this must be the player who is not identified. 1971 (Honorable Mention) IN: ZEQUINHA (Brazil & Botafogo)
Thank you very much for the correction. In effect, it must be Toninho Cerezo, not Toninho Guerreiro. I've corrected in the blog compilation. I have also eliminated the honorable mention of Valeriano López in 1951 (Tom had already introduced him in his top 23) and corrected a possible writing or translation error in the name of this 1938 honorable mention: Ernest Wilimowski, not Ernst Willimowski.

(at least until the #727 message). From 1995 I made the lists, but I've been quite irregular with the number of honorable mentions made each time (I didn't think I'd give it an important value at the beginning). As Tom made the following number of honorable mentions on average: 1920's: 15.8 per list 1930's: 16.6 per list 1940's: 14.7 per list 1950's: 28.9 per list 1960's: 39.6 per list 1970's: 42.2 per list 1980's: 50.8 per list 1990-1994: 46 per list I'll review each list that I made and will adjust a similar number of honorable mentions to those of the last previous decades to maintain a balanced proportion.

After some inaccuracies in my annotations and the expansion by Peru FC, here is the ranking of the decade from 1980 to 1989 based on the votes that Tom Stevens made at the time. 1.- Maradona (Argentina) 2.- Platini (Francia) 3.- Zico (Brasil) 4.- Falcao (Brasil) y Gullit (Holanda) 6.- Van Basten (Holanda) 7.- Matthaus (Alemania) y Rummenigge (Alemania) 9.- Junior (Brasil) y Careca (Brasil) 11.- Scirea (Italia) 12.- Hugo Sánchez (Méjico) 13.- Tigana (Francia) 14.- Hoddle (Inglaterra) 15.- Koeman, Ronald (Holanda) 16.- Giresse (Francia) 17.- Rush (Gales) 18.- Forster, Karlheinz (Alemania) 19.- Schumacher (Alemania) 20.- Francescoli (Uruguay) 21.- De León (Uruguay) y Souness (Escocia) 23.- Sócrates (Brasil) 24.- Renato Gaucho (Brasil), Dasaev (URSS), Passarella (Argentina) y Voller (Alemania). 28.- Dalglish (Escocia) 29.- Burruchaga (Argentina), Elkjaer Larsen (Dinamarca) y Olsen, Morten (Dinamarca) 32.- Boniek (Polonia), Brady (Irlanda), Cabrini (Italia), Rijkaard (Holanda) 36.- Hansen, Alan (Escocia) 37.- Baresi (Italia) y Stielike (Alemania) 39.- Barnes (Inglaterra), Brehme (Alemania), Fernández, Luis (Francia), Leandro (Brasil), Lerby (Dinamarca), Míchel (España), Pfaff (Bélgica), Schuster (Alemania) y Southall (Gales) Regarding the ranking of the decade that I published at the time, the main differences are the following: • Van Basten rises from 8th to 6th place. • Scirea climbs from 13th to 11th place. • Tigana rises from 16th to 13th place • Hoddle climbs from 28th to 14th place. • Giresse climbs from 19th to 16th place. • Schumacher climbs from 33rd to 19th place. • Souness rises from 28th to 21st place. • Passarella climbs from 36th to 24th place. • Ronald Koeman drops from 11th to 15th place. • Rush goes down from 13th to 17th place. • De León descends from 12th to 21st place. • Alan Hansen descends from 28th to 36th place.
Good point of view, but I disagree on many things, like those of Maradona in 1979 and 1980 and not put Zico among the top three in 1983 when he was one of the best in the Brazilian league, champion with Flamengo, top scorer and was the foreign top-ranked Serie A in the first part of the 1983/84 season. I also think Figueroa is somewhat overrated and also Rivelino. For me Zico was the best South American player in the 70s.
According to the criterion used here the 1983-84 season would belong entirely to the analysis of the 1984 list.
This can be a case, in a positive/fair way I think, where a notable difference (in criteria) occurs with our new method for Tom's consensus-based threads for each 'season'. Zico's season for 1982 will include 1982 Carioca and the 1983 Brasileiro: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeonato_Carioca_de_Futebol_de_1982 https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campeonato_Brasileiro_de_Futebol_de_1983 For this original thread and topic the Carioca was included for the 1982 thread. So in this case at least the South American player will benefit from the change because he won't have half a year that doesn't count towards the assessment, like he will have done for the original 1983 (calendar year for SA, 82/83 for Europe) thread. I'm not saying I've already decided I'll definitely vote him in 1st place or something like that, for 82/83 now, but his case his helped surely.
This is my revised 1995 list plus honorable mentions. I decided to join Fernando Hierro (selected by Don Balón and Marca as the best defender of La Liga) and Paulo Sousa (winner of the Guerin d'Oro) instead of José Emilio Amavisca and Andreas Möller. Despite a personal preference I decided to leave Michael Laudrup off the podium and classify him as contender. Germans Jürgen Klinsmann and Matthias Sammer seem to me to have the best cases as Jari Litmanen escorts. Despite the considerable list of honorable mentions, I still have some doubts. I'm not sure if Gianluca Pagliuca wouldn't deserve to be included (he won the Pirata d'Oro, but Inter Milan didn't do so well), besides Lars Bohinen and Juninho Paulista (who in this thread were very well referred by @PDG1978). I'm not too sure about Nicolas Ouédec, Andy Cole, Tony Yeboah (some great peaks between some inconsistency, perhaps?), Thomas Hässler (Kicker rated him with 2 World-Class seasons), Michael Zorc, Freddy Rincón (good level with Napoli, but perhaps not extraordinary and very good in Copa América, so I think he could be an option in a very margin), Alberto Belsué, Bebeto, Donato, Heiko Herrlich and Marcel Desailly. From South America I never quite understood the high regard for Edmundo this year (submerged in legal problems, inconsistencies and little effectiveness with Flamengo in the second half of the year), perhaps for specific moments in the Supercopa Libertadores and the goal against Chilavert? I'm not sure either about Carlos Gamarra and Roberto Carlos, maybe with more solid cases then.
