Leaving aside all the nonsense about his managerial style, I'd say it's hard to judge McLeish as a player, as he only played in Scotland, albeit at a very successful Aberdeen. Mest have been hard to separate the bottom few, as Hodgson only ever played non-league I think, although I can't say that I've heard of Rodgers as a player in any context, which is why I assume he is bottom.
Di Matteo is number 3. I agree with the rest and only Daglish and Hughes can be rated as great players others are mediocre at best.
O'N was a useful player to have in the side but hardly a world-class player: Mancini and Di Matteo should be in the top 5.But then, what credentials does Allie Campbell have to make these judgements, over any of us?

O'Neill above Mancini? Really? I know he won the European Cup with Forest, but that still suprises me.
Mourinho wasn't anything like a prominent player. Chelsea's most respected manager of the last 20 years or more?

Hughes was never World Class - he was thug who would be sent off more often if he didn't play for that lot. He didn't cut it at Barca and missed too many sitters. A scorer of great goals,not a great goalscorer or player. O'Neill was part of 2European Cup teams. Mancini was awesome in a very entertaining team - unfortunate to lose to Barca in 1992 at Wembley.
