    What will you do for the 50th? Not some cheap retrospective like a flash-back of previous lists...

    lol... no, I suspect not, Duffman! We have one or two options up our sleeve, but if anyone's got any suggestions, send them please to info[at]spaotp[dot]com.

    If we rate them highly enough, we'll use them and maybe even give you a name-check!

    Good thing that the Cosmos retired Pele's number! The Philadelphia Fury should retire Alan Ball's number!

    Would like to see a "twins in football" list. Don't know if you already had that one though. Must be a lot out there.

    Another one.. Players with 49 caps. :-)

    Family's on the same pitch (either against each other , or on the same side), such as fathers and sons.

    Also you could do one with other sportsmen in games, such as Cricketers, Tennis players or even Rugby players.

    Good suggestions, P / Sven!

    By the way, folks, if any of your ideas don't get used as our 50th list, be sure they'll get used at some point thereafter! I'm often found scratching my head on a Friday morning, wondering what to write a list about...
