Football, when it's done properly, is an art. A medium to admire and inspire: so consider this century of performances to be the seminal masters of the beautiful game.
We wanted to include displays from various competitions and levels of the game, giving equal weight to non-league and Premier League, League Cup and World Cup.
We wanted to consider brilliance, but also brilliance within the grand scheme of the game. We didn't simply want to reward masterclasses without context.
As with any list, this was assembled completely subjectively; ask us again in another six months' time, and we'll probably have changed our minds completely.
