- Sly Stallone is ruled out; the film was not ultimately a win for him.
- Pele: he nails the bicycle kick, made soccer seem cool, and the film became his legacy for 40 years.
- Michael Caine, for showing he could act under any circumstances, with the film shooting around his soccer limits.
- Pele is the second vote, for two Peles and one Michael Caine. — Chris Ryan
