The idea is that each month we elevate one figure to the footballing gods. Election will be done by a separate poll after the nominations are in. The rules go something like this:
- you get one nomination each month- all footy figures are eligible (player, coach, pundit; real, fictional; whatever)- no vetoing, the community's votes will decide who's worthy- poll losers can't be renominated for the rest of the year
This thread is for nominations only, save discussion for the actual poll. Since we're still bedding in, for the pilot poll I'm inclined to let only the first five in. If we get ten nominations quickly I'll reconsider.
Nominations are first-come-first-served, so get cracking.

Who's that then? I can't put down 'anonymous bloke' - no way he'll do better than second with those four as competition.

I'd been doing so well as well. I was going to have a guess too, glad I didn't humiliate myself any further.

I was going to save Henrik for a poll where he wasn't going to get steamrollered by Matt le Tissier :-(
― ailsa, Monday, 11 October 2010 15:30 (fourteen years ago)
Heh. Anyway, that's our five, he's a worthy opponent for Le Tiss Benali, let's see if this works.

It's November, it's a lovely day, my train is late and darragh should be safely at work by now - let's open this up.
Same rules as before: one nominee each, first five make the poll. Messrs Benali, Berg, Larsson H. and Seaman ineligible. Le Tiss already with the gods.

Can't say I really approve of that tactic, but it's at least a two-horse race so I'll just load up the starter's pistol and we'll be off.

I'm not sure it'll work, btw, Phil Brown has probably provided enough lolz to be a genuine ILFHOF candidate. I'm sure it will backfire, not least because I've explained why I want it to.
