THE TRUTH
The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.
Well top nation with all time greats seems to be Holland according to our shoutbox discussion.
Here are a few Dutch. Van persie, Cruyff, Rensenbrink, De boer,Van Basten and Sneijder for starters.

I went for Maradonna did it almost singlehanded on biggest stage
Neymar is totally unproven as of yet IMO
Gascoigne come on he had a couple of good seasons was never the same after injury and yes scored a good goal against scotland but was past his best
Charlton gets it for me simple, record goalscorer club and country, world cup winner , european cup winner and european footballer of the year
I toyed with dalglish but went for Law as he has much better goal average and also european footballer of the year something dalglish never managed
Only chose home nations last time but Brazil Pele, Argentina Maradonna, Italy Baresi Holland Cruyff, France Platini, Spain Xavi, Portugal Ronaldo, Germany Beckenbauer. Loads on the fringe like Messi Andy.
i've just typed out a few names and then thought of some others, the list is endless for some countries and a little more difficult for others. For the home nations
England: Banks, Moore,Charlton. Keegan Lineker etc etc etc
Wales:John Charles Ian Rush and Ryan Giggs.
Scotland, Willie Johnston, Dalglish and Denis Law.
NI: George Best
Eire: Aldridge, Brady, Cascarino and Quinn
