Why Edgar Davids ranks #160 in Football
Edgar Davids ranks 160th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 654th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 84, Longevity 82, Honours 82, Statistics 76. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 909 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1991–2014 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes champions league titles 1, serie a titles 3, eredivisie titles 3, netherlands caps 74.
Immediately ahead sits Lauren Hemp on 81.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Nwankwo Kanu on 80.9. 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.
