Yep...
Top 10/20/30 of all time is still HUGE... given the number of people who have played the sport over the past century globally! And some do have him in the top 10... so Zidane is certainly "The Man"...

Beckenbauer is routinely cited as the best defender ever.
IFFHS #3; World Soccer #4, Top End Soccer #4, FIFA Internet #8, FIFA Grand Jury #4. Worth a read for those who may have interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franz_Beckenbauer

Giuseppe Meazza
Meazza is widely considered one of the great pre-war stars. In fact, many would place him at the top of the list of pre-war stars. He also rates among the greats of all time when including post-war players as denoted by:
IFFHS #21 and Top End Soccer #37 ratings. I have not seen many of these cards. If you want to learn more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giuseppe_Meazza

I very few Soccer/Football cards. This is my only pre-war card. I am curious where you would rank Billy Meredith and this card in general.

Meredith
OK, Billy Meredith was a stud... you can learn more about him here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_Meredith He was a huge star that played 20+ years and is one of the game's early stars. He has a rookie card prior to this Clarke's ... and many other desirable cards. I will try to post a few in the coming days. None of the "early" players really show up in the century rankings. The key players start showing up in the 1920s plus.
