The best players of all time

[Disco_Dave]

Who do you think are the 3 BEST football players of all time? This is really tough for me personally a I never got to see most of the greats play. The closest i've got is dodgy tv clips from the past, but from what I've seen....
I would say:

1) Pele
2) George Best
3) Johan Cruyff

I have left out Maradonna because i just don't like him.
Sorry to any fans of him.

Best?????? i dont think so, he had loads of talent but wasted it

1) Pele
2) Maradona
3) Johan Cruyff

Billy Bremner!?

Off the top of my head...

1. Johan Cruyff
2. Gabiele Batistuta
3. Roberto Baggio

Van Basten was potentially the greatest striker ever but was unfortunately injured way too early

Maradonna & Pele = overrated

Pele was an always will be the greatest in the same way the Beatles will always be... it's bull passed down the generations.

 

[McBain]

Perry Groves
Emile Heskey
Gary Neville

Nah in all seriousness i'd probably swap Neville for someone with sheer class and skill.......someone with stunning good looks, someone like:

Ian (iain ?) Dowie

Maradona is an over-rated *****, a cheating one at that.

I agree entirely with Mcb^in.

No bias there Paz, although Boniek did have a great shot and he's you national coach I notice.

 

[PAz]

he resigned last week

no bias there mate, Boniek was absolutely brilliant.

Most expensive western european winger in the game when he moved to Juve

Pele?????

Not sure on that one. You got to remember that he scored most of his goals against, you could say non league teams.

He's up there in the top 7 and I think George Best is amongst them to.

You cant list just 3 players IMO, as the differences between all the greatest players in the World are none existant. Heres a small list -

Best
Maradona
Pele
Bobby Charlton
Stanley Matthews
Di Stepano
Eusebio
Carlos Alberta
Zico
Gordon Banks

and so on...
