   I can’t believe that Brian Glanville has only received one other vote besides mine. Meanwhile, Gab Marcotti has 17 votes!?!?! Am I just old, Gaff?

     You must be old like me. To me, the results show a lot of favor to TV rather than print media. Glanville should be in the top 3, I agree.

   I agree. I should have put Bobby on the list. He's a genius.

   DP, Marcotti is on the list. Paul Doyle is well schooled in French football, but isn't an expert on leagues worldwide. Andy Brassell knows quite a bit about European football, but is by no means an expert on world football.

   I put Gray on the list to see if people would vote for him – and they have done 🙂

   I'm kidding BTW. For my money, I prefer the writers of good articles rather than the TV studio pundits. I think Raphael Honegstein and Jonathan Wilson write some of the best articles on a consistent basis. I'd also give a nod to James Lawton and Henry Winter (who made your list).

    Well Gaff, can't say the use of John Madden helps. He may be the most recognizable, but not sure about the most knowledgeable.

    You mean the World of EPL football.

    Half these guys couldn't tell you a flipping thing about the WORLD OF FOOTBALL.

    Andy Gray was clueless over here during the Euros.

    It's either Vickery, Doyle or Brassell

    The world of football isn't just England. Most of these guys know sweet fa about the WORLD of football. Vickery, Marcotti, Doyle and Andy Brassell are the only ones that deserve to be on the list.

    When Gray was here doing the Euro's he didn't know a damn thing about any player outside of England.
