Into the next century of players. A reminder that if you click on each player's link, this will take you to a profile and more data on the player.
Now we've reached the first 100, I will also be adding a few posts which analyse some of the items of interest behind the FTE 500 data and see if this gives us further insight on what makes a great player!!

Manfred Burgsmüller became one of the oldest players to score a goal in the European Cup when he scored for Werder Bremen at the age of 38 in 1988.
A list of the oldest players to score a goal in the European Cup/Champions League can be found here
Michael Frontzeck was unfortunate enough to be relegated 4 times in 5 seasons in the late 1990s.
A list of the players who have "achieved" 4 relegations in the European top flight in the fewest seasons is here
BONUS STAT: I bring to you a bonus stat as I mistakenly had it at the back of my head that Emile Heskey was the first Wigan Athletic player to get capped for England. He wasn't, proving that you're always better trusting the data than your head!!
Here are the last clubs to provide a player to the England international football team for the first time
