Why Pierre Littbarski ranks #93 in Football
Pierre Littbarski ranks 93rd among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 434th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 84, Longevity 86, Honours 82, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 875 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1978–1997 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1983, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes world cup titles 1, world cup finals played 3, germany caps 73, bundesliga appearances 406.
Immediately ahead sits Karl-Heinz Rummenigge on 82.9, a gap of 1.7 points. Directly behind is Dennis Bergkamp on 81.8. 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.
