Well, yes. The Fiver a long while back questioned someone calling Rio Ferdinand

"one of the best defenders in the world".

Fiver Letters:
"Rio Ferdinand being the Best Defender In The World is one of the unwritten truisms of football commentators - and it's rubbish. It bears scrutiny about as well as the nonsense about Newcastle United having the Best Fans In The World and my beloved Norwich City Playing Lovely Passing Football"

That was 2005
