Almanack: Top scorers

FANTASY football seems to have faded somewhat from the public consciousness, to be replaced by fantasies of a different nature. The Gay Football Supporters Network balloted their members over the summer: first they asked which players made the greatest contributions to the game. Ryan Giggs and Eric Cantona of Manchester United copped the most votes, followed by Blackburn's Alan Shearer and Newcastle's Andy Cole. But Cantona did not appear in the GFSN's 'Lust List'. Which players appeal most in aesthetic terms to the gay footballing community? Here is the Top 10, as revealed in Attitude magazine. 1 Lee Sharpe; 2 Jamie Redknapp; 3 Alan Shearer; 4 Dennis Wise; 5 Paul Ince; 6 Ryan Giggs; 7 Vinny Jones; 8 Steve Jones; 9 Mark Bosnich; 10 Scott Minto. Good to see a hard man at No 7, as Julian Clary might say.
