Apparently Wynton Rufer is not only NZ most successful Player he is
also the best product to come out of Australia and asia combined,
GOOD STUFF WYNTON!
p.s. Shane was not that bad either.

He is recognised as such but I believe that Aussies like Viduka or
even Christian Karembru (probably spelt wrong) who won a world cup
are better.

Ru crazy disco, Viduka? he's an ox whose had only 1 gd season which
was last year. Rufer was the man and werder bremen and is still
revered there.
Karembru fair enough, a tight call but Viduka?
Wat ever ur smoking pass it around...

Christian Karembeu better than Wynton? No.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's living in Agadez, Niger. Spending more time in town, Agadez, as bad people in the desert are spoiling the good life.

OK Viduka is maybe pushing it but Tim Cahill is potentially the pick of them all.

You have to understand that this was voted on buy all the Fifa
Members, and it refers to players last century. viduka was in
Croatia around 2000 and cahill was still in Aussie somewhere. Its
only really been in the last 10 years that Aussie players have
started to make a mark.
Rufer was also voted in the all time 11 import players to the
bundesliga. he top scored in 94 in the champions league. What would
your reaction be today if a Kiwi was the top scorer in the
champions league. this just goes to show how poorly the sport was
covered in NZ that most people don't know the achievements of our
greatest ever football export.

Karembeu played for france - to me he shouldn't be included.
Does that mean that someone like andrew mehrtens would be elegible
for African rugby player of the 20th century? I think not. A little
different perhaps as mehrtens was bought up in NZ, but a fair
comparison nonetheless. I don't believe Karembeu should be elegible
whether he was better then wynton or not.

If you look them up on wikipedia rufer has a much bigger piece than
karembeu - an indication of who was better perhaps?

hahahaha dont mock me - third post in a row i know i know...
But just thought I'd bum myself out... saw that karembeu was
indeed in the running for that award and I DONT AGREE WITH IT at
all.
And then saw that Frank Farina had the biggest wikipedia piece
out of the three of them but wynton still won...

It's a tough call because there are a number of candidates that are
all pretty close. Wynton is certainly amongst the top echelon
though. Perhaps more so because when he left NZ and became pro in
Europe, it was due largely to his being so outstanding that he was
probably the only player in NZ at the time capable of footing it in
Europe. That says something. Today, there are young players coming
from academies and developing to a high level, more often. Wynton
didn't have that sort of luxury back then.

Yeah i think he was and still is the best. Cahill of Australia is
up there but i still think Rufer is the best.

There are only really 3 canditates that stand on the same
wavelength. Harry Kewell, Wynton Rufer and Christian Karemberu. I'd
say Wynton because Harry is made of glass.
