Following the response generated by the Association of Football Statisticians 100 Greatest Players in the World ...
Accepting the challenge Darren presents numbers 90-100 today with brief profiles which will point to the reasons for their inclusion.
80-89 will follow tomorrow and day by day the complete run down will be unveiled straight through to the top spot.
Everyone has an opinion on the best ever player to wear a red shirt but ranking the 99 which follow cannot be an exact science. While the Association of Football Statisticians recently released of the world's greatest ever is entirely objective based on statistics it is also fundamentally flawed as it doesn't take account of the era nor the opposition faced and their respective strength. This list is entirely subjective and in this case entirely in the hands of one person.
With players of the calibre Liverpool have employed stating that any order is a strict 1-100 run down of the greatest with each earning that precise place would he the wrong premise on which to start compiling a list.
