It's ok mate if you are satisfied with it (and Peter seemed to be too) - I just thought I should let you know in case you wanted to keep things consistent between all years but it's your project so of course you should decide anyway.
If you want you can change with the idea you have, but I don't think I will have time to change. But I consider you have the same weight as me for this project, so you can do what you think it's better By the way, when you have time, could you update the ranking with post #1348 and 1349, with the new votes of the last few months? I'm sorry I forgot to update 1920s onwards Best, IceBlood34

- Campbell (9 times with 6 times among top 3) This is not all the same player. There are 3 different Campbells here. Charlie Campbell (Queen's Park) 1877-78, 1881-82, 1884 Jonny Campbell (Sunderland) 1892-93, 1895 John Campbell (Celtic, Aston Villa) 1900
Several posts this year have highlighted the stellar reputation of Jimmy Crabtree after he retired. Accolades included best player of his generation and one of the greatest of all time. Yet he only appears once in this list - in fourth place in 1899. Contemporary reports consistently place him as a decent versatile half-back/full-back, nothing more. He is hardly ever described as the best player on the pitch. He was picked four times for England against Scotland, only once in his favoured half-back position when Needham withdrew. After a poor game at full-back in 1896 Crabtree was dropped from the fixture for two years. The 4-1 rout at the hands of the Scots in 1900 ensured he was never chosen again. We must be missing something. Considering their excellent record, Crabtree's main team Aston Villa also appear to have been underrated at the time, often labelled as a cup side. Any thoughts welcome.
