  We consider all players and clubs in top twenty world football leagues in the
last fifteen seasons. The purpose of this paper is to reveal top football
players and identify springboard clubs. To do that, we construct two separate
weighted networks. Player collaboration network consists of players, that are
connected to each other if they ever played together at the same club. In
directed club transfer network, clubs are connected if players were ever
transferred from one club to another. To get meaningful results, we perform
different network analysis methods on our networks. Our approach based on
PageRank reveals Christiano Ronaldo as the top player. Using a variation of
betweenness centrality, we identify Standard Liege as the best springboard
club.
