Posted March 30, 20187 yr With the World Cup drawing closer, it’s time to take a look at the people who defined the sport with our Ultimate Footballer contest. 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! This is the Nominations stage. The rules are very simple – nominate up to 10 footballers below who you think are worthy of being in this contest. Any era, any country, any position – as long as they can kick a ball they’ll be accepted. (although bear in mind if you pick someone from the 1954 Hitchin Town squad they’re probably not going to get very far.) You only need to nominate a player once for them to be included. The deadline for nominations is 7th April 2018 23:59, although I can extend that if needs be.
