    I've been thinking of this idea. What if we set up a BigSoccer Hall of Fame. We could have a thread say every month.

    At the beginning of the month, people could nominate 5 players for the Hall of Fame. If a player gets 15 nominations (maybe this number can be raised later on if many people participate), then he will be put on the Hall of Fame ballot.

    After about a week of nominations, a new thread can be started where a bio of every player will be posted so that people can vote on who gets admitted into the BigSoccer Footie Hall of Fame. Members can vote for 3 players (maybe more depending on how many players are on the ballot) and in order for a player to get into the Hall they will need x percentage of votes (I'm thinking of maybe making it 50%, but we can decide on this later). Voting would take place for a week or two. (There would be two threads, one for discussion and one for just posting your votes).

    A player gets 1 year (in essence it would be 12 chances) from their first appearance on the ballot to get elected into the HoF. If they don't get nominated in a year then they would be ineligible for the HoF.

    What do you guys think??

    Good idea.

    Let's start with an obvious one. Diego Armando Maradona.

    So I can noiminate 5 players now, right.

    1) Pele
    2) Maradona
    3) Di Stefano
    4) beckenbauer
    5) Cruyff

    Why don't we just automatically vote those fives into the Hof. It will be waste of time to wait for votes when they should be elected into the Hof anyway. The thread might die down before we move to Best, banks, Yashin, Puskas or Garrincha. We may not get to the fun part.... the less obvious choices such as Charles, Sivori, etc.

    well it would be interesting to see which would make it first but I guess maybe that would be a good idea EscapeGoat. Having those 5 players that everybody has nominated thus far and give them an honorary automatic spot

    we should probably start a new thread for nominations so that people wont get confused with the honorary list and post again a list not including these 5 players
