Everyone loves a good ranking session; so in the final post to celebrate Oxblogger’s 15th anniversary, here is your fifty favourite players from the last 15 years. Rather than write florid tributes to them all, which I’ve done lots of times in the past, here they are with their Oxblogger role of honour from previous ranking and World Cup campaigns.
