I don't see Brian McClair in the list.

well you just wouldnt would you

i voted best btw , truely fantastic player obviously , but to see him perform on a crap surface , with a crap heavy waterlogged ball , and just dance round the opposition , superb .

i was torn between him and pele , ok all the greats had defenders trying to kick lumps out of them , but protection has got better slowly , and conditions and fitness knowledge all vastly superior to what they had available to them in their hayday , so for that reason i have picked them above maradona , and ronaldhinio

puskas , heard great things about him but never seen any footage so cant say ,

cruyff one of my favourite players ever , but i think best and pele had a better all round game than him

barry daines well there was that one time ........

[Danishspurs]

voted pele.. Simply the best.. Once thought that Roonaldo had the potential to become the greatest ever, but ****ed it up.. Maybe Ronaldinho has the talent, time will tell..

[hastingsyid]

barry daines well what can i say about him...ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmmmm nothing

Pele. It's unquestionable. The bloke's record is something like 1200 goals in 1500 games. Unreal.

I know someone's going to say "he wouldn't get that many in today's game", but he is the best striker the World has seen.

[gazzaG8]

I can't believe i'm the only person to vote for Maradona.
Is it because of the hand of god that the English cannot admit
he was the greatest player ever despite being an overweight coke head.


But i would say Maradona then Best

[spurs61]

Where is Di Stefano in all of this?

[singapore spur]

Where is Di Stefano in all of this?

have to put him under a.n other , like puskas never saw him play , and i guess most others havent . that is the problem with these polls , the older guys havent got the t.v footage to back up some fine records , and so there are many great players that are forgotten when considering the worlds best , but we can only judge on our experience .

[SurreySpur]

Maradona closely followed by a.n.other, he was class!!

[Chinaman]

They don't call him the King of Football for nothing. Pele by a hugh margin.

[TomMcLaren]

I voted Maradona as well...

[spurs61]

Surely Ramon Vega should get a mention?

[hastingsyid]

JIMMY GREAVES..greatest english goalscorer ever....fantastic for spurs this fella was..

[sundancer]

Voted for Maradona, he won the world cup in a average team with his amazing talent.

[BgSpur]

I doubt in all my respect to you , how many matches of Pele you have watched? I think the best player nowdays is Riquelme , cuz of his creativity , and he touch the ball like am touch my gf , lol

[GOONHATER]

VOTED PELE,JUST PRUE CLASS AND AS FOR THAT FAT JUNKIE DWARF,EVEN IF I THOUGHT HE WAS THE BEST I STILL WOULD'NT VOTE FOR HIM AS I HOLD A VERY LONG GRUDGE.:mad:

[choda]

Yes, I smell a 'hand of god' conspiracy against Maradona. I already stated in an old thread what I think about him. For me, nobody else comes close.

As for Pele's goal record, it was pretty amazing alright, but take into account Romario at the age of 38 scored 73 in one season in Brazil. It's pure nutso over there.

[gbspur72]

Gary Doherty, can't belive we let the Ginger Pele go!

[Chinaman]

He would have been better at centre forward than Rasiak when Mido was away. Would then have been playing today in the CL qualifyer.
