Here are the first three "Top 10" to celebrate Pat's Football Page's 100th post.

10 Greatest Teams of All Time:
1. Real Madrid 1954-1965. I'm no Real Madrid fan, but this really was a special side. They won nine of 12 league titles. They also won the first five European Cups, an Intercontinental Cup, two Latin Cups, and a Copa del Ray. Their squad included Alfredo Di Stefano, Ferenc Puskas, Francisco Gento, Didi and plenty of other fantastic footballers. This squad really made Real Madrid. Before this side defeated all in front of them, Real Madrid had just two league titles.
2. Brazil 1958, 1962, 1970. With a young Pele in their ranks, Brazil won their first World Cup. They are my second pick, not just because of their flair and creativity (players like Pele, Garrincha, Vava), but because they really made Brazilian football in a similar fashion to Real Madrid 1954-1965. Plus they had Pele.
3. Santos 1956-74. This squad, led by Pele, Coutinho and Pepe, epitomised the now legendary Brazilian style. In the sixties they won more titles in Brazil than any other squad.
4. AC Milan 1988-1996. Thanks to the ambitious investment of media mogul, Silvio Berlusconi, Milan had their  most successful period in more than 100 years. Milan had some of histories greatest defenders in Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini and Alessandro Costacurta. They also had some fantastic attackers which included Dejan Savicevic, Zvonimir Boban, Daniele Massaro and Marco Van Basten. They won five league titles and three Champions League trophies and managed to have a 58-game unbeaten run at one stage.
5. Liverpool 1976-1988. The side won eight leaguetitles and four European Cups to establish the club as England’s premier club. The side included Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hensen and Ian Rush.
6. Manchester United 1993-2003. The side won eight league titles and one Champions League and did the treble in 1999. The club had not won the league for a quarter of a century, but in 1993 Sir Alex Ferguson finally managed to break the drought. What is remarkable about the side is that many players that contributed over the decade of success were from United’s youth set up. The Champions League victory over Bayern Munich will live in the memories of many people for a long time.
7. Torino 1942-1949. Considered by many as Italy's greatest team after they won five straight league titles, the teams run was cut short by a tragic plane crash in 1949.
8. Ajax 1971-1973. Three straight league-European Cup doubles while playing "Total Football" made this one of football's most well known sides.
9. Benfica 1960-1970. This side collected eight league titles and broke Real Madrid's stranglehold on the fledgling European Cup competition wining consecutive titles in 1961 and 1962.
10. Celtic 1966-1974. Beat Inter in the 1967 European Cup final. They played attacking football, but perhaps more amazingly the squad all came from around Glasgow. They also won nine league titles in a row.

Ten Greatest Players of All-Time:
1. Pele. Not only for his fantastic skill and unrivalled success, but because he came from a poor up-bringing and is now the face of the world's greatest game.He is a fantastic ambassador for the sport.
2. Diego Maradona. Like Pele, Maradona had amazing skill. What makes him stand out from others was his vision which allowed him to play, like everyone else was in slow motion, often weaving through masses of opposition defenders to net goals. What is great about Maradona is that unlike Pele, he wasn't Mr. Clean. His "Hand of God" goal in the World Cup is just one example of the controversy he often found himself involved in.
3. Alfredo di Stefano. Fantastic vision and amazing physical abilities combined in di Stefano.
4. Johann Cruyff. Status symbol of "Total Football". He was voted Europe’s best player by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics.
5. George Best. Like Maradona, he was an example of how we can be so special in one part of our life and so destructive in another. At 27 he was dropped by Manchester United for successive drinking and his form and health continued to deteriorate until his early death at the age of 58. Still he will be remembered for his speed and ability to find the net.
6. Franco Baresi. A one-club man, considered by many as the best defender ever. He played over 500 games for Milan enjoying domestic and European success. Remembered by many for his performance against Brazil in the 1994 World Cup, where, at the age of 34, he played one of the best games of his life before missing a penalty.
7. Peter Schmeichel. Arguably the greatest ever goalkeeper. He played for Manchester United during their peak and was part of their treble; his size was matched only by his skill.
8. Bobby Charlton. Another one-club man, He is a Manchester United legend. He is also one, if not, the best English player ever. He helped England lift their one and only World Cup and was known for his long range shots and attacking ability.
9. Ronaldo. Despite not winning as many trophies as some of the others on this list at club level, when not injured he has always been prolific in front of goal. His stint at Real Madrid recently ended and, despite often having conflicts with club and fans, scored 69 goals in 98 appearances. He has scored more World Cup goals then any other player in history and could potentially go on to score more in South Africa in 2010.
10. Ferenc Puskas. Despite his less-than-impressive physique, scored often for both club and country and had a terrific partnership with Alfredo di Stefano at Real Madrid.

Ten Greatest Managers of All-Time:
1. Jock Stein. At Celtic, with limited resources, he coached a bunch of locals to European glory. Also won a Scottish record nine league titles in a row, which was later equalled by Rangers. Also took Scotland to the World Cup in 1982. He also tutored Sir Alex Ferguson when he made him his understudy while in charge of Scotland.
2. Brian Clough. Took lowly Nottingham Forest to England’s First Division and in their first season after promotion won the league (1978) and led them to successive European Cups in 1979 and 1980.
3. Fabio Capello. Won four league titles and a Champions League with AC Milan, a league title with AS Roma and a League title at Real Madrid. He is currently in his second stint with Real Madrid.
4. Sir Alex Ferguson. A successful stint in charge of Aberdeen, which included European glory, earned him a job with Manchester United. United have just won their 9th Premier League title under Ferguson.
5. Alf Ramsay. Led England to the World Cup in 1966. Perhaps that makes him the best. I mean it is quite a task.
6. Vittorio Pozzo. Only manager to win two World Cups with Italy in 1934 and 1938.
7. Jack Reynolds. Devised the famous "Total Football" system.
8. Helenio Herrera. Greatest exponent of Catenaccio. Led Inter to two European Cups under the system.
9. Frank Riijkard. In charge of Barcelona, his side has played some of the most entertaining football in history.
10. Luiz Felipe Scolari. Won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and took Portugal to the final of the 2004 European Championships and guided them to fourth in the 2006 World Cup.
