    he was an excellent player,

    What is the difference between good, great, excellent and world class and how can a player prove that he is good, great, excellent or world class?

    So Pele, by your standards of footballers he wouldn't be considered a great footballer because he never played club football in Europe, or is there exceptions made?

    Know many people playing in the Premiership or Champions League in the 1960s?

    Not everyone gets onto Great Footballers Shortlist and if your narrowing it down to the English 1st Division and the Champions Cup in the 1960's its gonna be abit shorter.

    Whats your point? Because I cant see what it has to do with what I said

    The point is that it's pretty stupid to compare how you measure a great player 40+ years ago and a great player today. Can you come up with any world class players (besides Larsson, I'm guessing) who play or have played in the last few years but avoided Europe's big 4/5 leagues?

    Lubo Moravcik ....:D

    If lArsson socres 20 goals in PL La Liga or Serie A then he can claim to be world class, till then Marco Negri still scored more before xmas than he did.

    Look, be pedantic all you like, especially if it makes you feel better, at least we both know it's just because you you can't contribute anything to show that Larsson was anything but a big fish in a small pond.

    Larsson has not proved himeslf to be a world class player. In simple terms, would you agree or disagree?

    I'm sure you will still however respond in a way that you will dodge the question.
