Why Allan Simonsen ranks #286 in Football
Allan Simonsen ranks 286th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 668th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 84, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1970–1989 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes ballon d'or awards 1, uefa cup titles 2, bundesliga titles 2, cup winners' cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Flórián Albert on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Emil Forsberg on 83.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
