Platini won all three of his Ballon D'or awards while at Juventus. He is
considered an all time great, easily in the top five. You cannot say the
same for the others.

At least one of those should have gone to Rush or Dalglish :-)

Anyway, I wouldn't put too much value on the early BdOs, when most
voting journalists probably didn't even get to watch *totally* more
than a handful of games all year. Not to mention the home cooking, for
instance, Raymond Kopa finished top 3 4 consecutive years (won once),
Ferenc Puskas finished 2nd once and he was superior to Kopa in about
every measurable statistics.


Ferenc Puskas won no BdO either and he was superior to Raymond Kopa in
about every measurable statistics.
