Does that give me any meaningful context? While I'm sure some of these guys are big names in popular soccer leagues, I doubt anyone is familiar with every soccer league globally and can put most of these names into a meaningful context.

You said it would!

I simply pointed out the one you probably do know out of these. But since you call it soccer I now know who I’m messing with.

You mean the original name from the British who invented the game as we know it today? Are you saying hearing a name gives meaningful context that would help me understand the information in this graph? Do you know more than 20 percent of the names represented?

I know literally all the names on the graph, and I would say any half committed football fan probably would. It’s not some amazing feet of memory, they’re all well known players at the top level.
