Over recent months a number of BigSoccer members have been in discussions about creating a series of profiles of some of the greatest players to ever play the game. We had noticed that there was a dearth of good information about many of the game’s greatest figures on the web, especially in English, and decided to attempt to resolve the situation. Now some of our first results are ready. This thread will be the master thread with links to every player profile, which are spread among the individual boards of BigSoccer. The profiles completed are just a small sample of what we hope to eventually complete, and there should be many more on the way in the weeks and months to come. The end result will ideally be a comprehensive resource for all fans of the game to learn more about some of history’s greatest figures. In each thread we have aimed to combine an in depth biography, with detailed statistical information (thanks to Gregoriak) to provide a profile that is not commonly available elsewhere. This has been in gestation for 9 months now, so hopefully it will be worthwhile. If anyone on the boards would like to be involved in this and thinks that they have something worthwhile to contribute, please PM myself or one of the other contributors as there are many left to do.

Did you guys write these yourselves or did you just copy and paste? If you wrote them, then well done.
you guys gonna do any more of these? do you consider requests/suggestions? the ones youve done so far are excellent. definitely worth five stars.
There's lots more in the pipeline and I'm probably as guilty as anyone in slowing this down. That said there will be some more up this week. As for requests we have a large list so far to work through but feel free to drop me a pm and I'll let you know if they're on the "immediate" list.

Three profiles written for the Draft of Drafts selection thread... Ademir Wim van Hanegem Hans-Georg Schwarzenbeck
It looks like the mods combined my profile of Moreno with another earlier thread about 'La Maquina'. to go straight to Moreno's profile, try this link: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=7627681&postcount=10
I hope one of you guys is saving all these on your hard drive. It'd be a tragedy if it was all lost in another Big Crash.
My profiles are saved on my hard-drive, I guess the other guys did the same with their profiles. However if a big crash occurs and one of the profilers' PC crashes as well, then some of the profiles would be lost. My PC crashed about three years ago and everything I had was by and large lost, things like that can happen, so maybe we should all save the profiles written by other profilers as well, not only our own.
