This article mentions players like Deco and Domazos but does not name players like Michel Platini, Michael Laudrup, Roberto Baggio, or Gheorghe Hagi. Please balance it as needed. --ChaChaFut 05:56, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Absolutely miserable article with too much detail on specific players/incidents some of which are arguably obscure and besides Hoddle, no mention of any great playmaker before about 1990, as noted above. The definition of playmaker attributes is too restrictive - excluding the likes of Andrea Pirlo for whom the ability to hold the ball up is more important than pace. Also, somebody here can't spell Hotspur! --JamesTheNumberless 17:29, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I've cut out most of the crap, attempted to fill the gaps and explain better while pushing for a more formal tone and amputating as much football journalism jargon as possible. The article still needs considerable work and I'm well aware my stuff also needs citations. --JamesTheNumberless 17:47, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
