Izael Mcloud at 13? Hes a decent player, but not the 13th best outside the premier surely? Had a amazing time at MK Dons, got a nice move to Charlton been down hill since and now found a club for him. No way 13th.

Thought maybe Miller/Turner/Kev/Mason/Gunnarsson would have been in the somewhere. Some of those players are average league 2 level, so how are they better than top end championship players.
For example... Billy Kee, the Burton striker. On 12 league goals this season at a bottom half league 2 side, whereas Kenny Miller is on 11 league goals for a play off contending championship club, who is also regularly in the Scotland squad and played at the highest level in Scotland scoring for fun. So how didnt he make the top 50?

Just a suggestion. Because if you find a league 2 full back from that list (there's bound to be one) and chuck him into a similar team as Kev. You would soon notice the difference

It was voted by fans wasn't it?
So you're bound to find some weird players on there as League 2 team fans wouldn't know much about players outside League 2/Prem etc.

Oh, that answers the question then.
But who the f**k voted to say some of them were the best?
