The Statistics
Foundation of the rec.sport.soccer newsgroup
is currently putting together a "Greatest Players Archive", which is
supposed to be a list of about 250 world class players in the history
of football, along with biogaphies and stastistics etc..
Lev Yashin and Oleg Blokhin were the only Soviet players
being on the list at the moment when we desided to conduct a poll on
the Internet about great Soviet football players.
In six weeks I got about half a hundred lists of best
players.
Here is the alphabeticaly sorted list of named players (except of
Yashin and Blokhin) ((position, born, club)...votes):
