Hall of Pretty Good

A hall of fame for footballers who were pretty good.

Solid professionals with long careers. Not quite elite, never mediocre. Just pretty good at football.

What is this?

Most professional footballers aren't superstars. They're reliable professionals who had long, respectable careers without ever becoming household names.

To get in, players must have made 100+ top-flight appearances and played for at least 8 years. They must have retired by 2015 (a rolling 10-year cutoff).

Players are excluded if they won a Ballon d'Or, multiple league titles as a key player, or were genuinely world-class for several seasons.
