Neither will get any votes.

Didn’t quite crack Europe did he. A bit like Riquelme in that way.

No, just the 128 goals for PSV, 39 goals in 65 games at Barca. 3 Dutch League titles, 1 La Liga and some Dutch cups.

Eredivisie tho

Romario was a touch before my time, his highlights look great but his achievements prima facie don’t scream elite to me.

[Chairman Meow]

Pre and early sky era before money totally fucked the game and the monstrosity that is the champions League turned into the money maker it is the Dutch league was far better than it is now.

 

The disparity amongst all the European leagues was nothing like what is going in these days.

 

PSV won the European cup in 1988 and Ajax did in 1995.

 

It was only the TV money in the UK and to Real and Barca that started fucking it up as a contest. In the same way that oil money is going to do in the next few years.

 

Games fucked as a genuinely competitive environment for the majority of leagues and clubs now.

[TheHowieLama]

Meow knows.

 

Plus he punched Diego Simeone - legend.

 

[YorkshireRed]

No other votes for Jimmy Greaves in this position. He was at least as good as many that have got several nominations. 
 

Certainly a strong contender for England’s greatest ever striker anyway.

Romario is one of the best centre forwards of all time, you utter loon.

[3 Stacks]

To be fair, put Patty Bam Bam in the Eredivisie, and who knows what the goal record would be. He might be in contention for this list, for all we know. Who could say.

Just looked him up. At Heerenveen he played 39 league games and scored 45 goals; his league record at Boro was played 42, scored 10.

[TheHowieLama]

Probably a quarter of Boro's golas during that time.

Bergkamp.
