The only place Pele was the best footballer ever is in his own mind, he's not even the best Brazilian to play football.

Blasphemy.
You ought to be hauled to the stocks.

Not surprising given one of it’s main exports.

Bet he’s pumped some money into the Colombian economy over the years.

Heard on the radio yesterday that Pablo Escobar at one point was spending £2500 a month on rubber bands .... to bundle his cash

Wonder how many bundles Diego was responsible for

Gimnasia - Racing last year, Diego said to Racing coach: "I was in that club, I know what it is like"



love you so much DIEGO, we will miss you a lot !!

I swear this is what Siggurdson must be like in training everyday to still be getting picked for us.

Mad as a hatter, heart of a lion, strong as an ox, genius = The Greatest.

Loved him for the Hand of God, for the solo goal, for Naples and him making so much sense.

Vamos Maradona

Blasphemy.

Why? most Brazilians will tell you that Garrincha was their greatest ever player not Pele.

RIP.

So sad what he did to his body through his chosen lifestyle. A genius, absolute genius footballer. No the best ever IMO, Pele takes that.

Nah Ronaldo is the greatest of all time for me.

Absolute machine.

The likes of myself who watched Pele in Mexico in 1970 would have seen a player, who at the time truly was like nothing else.
Naturally as with most things, things evolve and of course I acknowledge that players skills have developed accordingly.
However, for me, nothing will ever surpass that Brazilian team of 1970.
