Ormond Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Was it Pele? I've just finished watching the movie made recently about him. Pish acting but watchable for a fitba' fan. It was about the run up to and including the '58 World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Maradona for me. Pele was the star man in the greatest team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orraloon Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Pele, without a doubt. Then Maradona. After that there are quite a few in contention for 3rd - Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Eusebio, Messi, Ronaldo, Platini, Baresi, Matthaus, Rooney................

hoofitharder Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think you would have to pick someone for each position really as you cant compare a centre back with a striker but if i was pushed i would go for Cruyff an artist with the ball. but as a youngster it would have been Eddie Gray (if he hadn't been kicked up and down the park he would have been one of the best )or Bernt schuster.

A great player, but that 'one moment of madness' rules him out of being the greatest, wouldn't you say? Was it ever clarified what the Italian defender had said? I vaguely recall it was meant to have been summat about his mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
