We’ll be seeing which footballers we think are the best, pitting the greats against each other to see who Buzzjack crowns as our Ultimate Footballer! It’s Semi-Final time now – we received 78 nominations in total, which have been randomly allocated into 3 groups of 26 (note ‘randomly’ – if all the best have been stuffed into the same semi it’s not my fault). Ten players from each group will advance through to the Final. It’s now time for you to vote – you can vote for up to 15 players, but you MUST vote for at least 5. Please make your order obvious (or at least obvious enough for us to know what you’re on about). Group 1 Tony Adams Michael Ballack Billy Bremner Gianluigi Buffon Eric Cantona Ashley Cole Johan Cruyff Eusebio Steven Gerrard Ryan Giggs Joe Gormley Emile Heskey Glenn Hoddle Ray Houghton Roy Keane Paolo Maldini Gerd Muller Pavel Nedved Manuel Neuer Michael Owen Pele Ronaldinho Paul Scholes Bastian Schweinsteiger Ian Wright Dino Zoff The deadline is 16th April 2018 23:59. Get voting!

Ashley Cole It could be argued that Tony Adams wasn't quite as good as Pele but it would be too predictable if we all put Pele in first place.

Buy yourself a car, and a house in Devon Joined: 6 May 2016 Posts: 23,892 User: 23,247	Results: 11 Paolo Maldini 47 pts 12 Roy Keane 35 pts 13 Michael Owen 34 pts 14 Tony Adams 33 pts 15 Ian Wright 32 pts 16 Dino Zoff 29 pts 17 Gianluigi Buffon 28 pts 18 Manuel Neuer 26 pts 19 Michael Ballack 15 pts 20 Pavel Nedved 13 pts 21 Billy Bremner 12 pts 22 Bastian Schweinsteiger 9 pts 23 Ashley Cole 5 pts 24 Emile Heskey 5 pts 25 Ray Houghton 0 pts 26 Joe Gormley 0 pts So we lose a few decent players in this first semi, but that's the nature of the competition. In fact, everyone from 12 downwards was out of the running anyway, the Top 10 being a close-run 11-horse race, with Maldini just being pushed out in the last vote, a mere 2 points behind 10th place. Following them is Irish-great-turned-commentator Roy Keane, followed by three English greats and two Italian goalkeepers, a German goalie just behind them in Neuer. More recent English players Cole and Heskey get 5 points apiece, and with Steve not here to vote two of his Irish choices receive nul points. Which brings us to our Top 10, in alphabetical order: Eric Cantona Johan Cruyff Eusebio Steven Gerrard Ryan Giggs Glenn Hoddle Gerd Muller Pele Ronaldinho Paul Scholes
