Club Rankings by Era



The all-time world rankings didn't always look the way they do at the present time. A lot of teams that used to be top dogs have falled off the pace in recent times. Re-live the times when they took centre stage through some of the historical rankings below. The more modern (ongoing) rankings serve a second purpose: to compare teams from across the world from a more recent starting point, thus taking away the argument that "Europe", and the British Isles in particular, got an unfair headstart of up to several decades in the real all-time rankings.
