Maradona

[tommytowne]

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

Ah, Little Bird.
No, sticking to my guns. My feelings based in no small measure of watching that legendary team of 1970.
Pure magic.

Hopefully clubs in England will have a minutes silence this weekend for this man as they will have around the world - it will be much more respected than this ridiculous kneeling we are still doing.

The greatest every player to wear boots - RIP GOAT

That is iconic Maradona - in a situation you will never see Sigs in

Though he lived a chaotic life, he left the world a better place with how he played. Charismatic and devinely gifted. A genius with the ball. Just outrageously talented.

The world is a sadder place for his passing.

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

Stop talking complete [Poor language removed]. My grandad saw them all. Pele is still his hero today.

Nah Ronaldo is the greatest of all time for me.

Absolute machine.

100% with you on this.

Nobody has ever combined that skill with his pace and power.

His knees couldn’t handle him unfortunately.

Again I think people forget the past. Pele and Eusebio did combine them.

 

[longers]

Lets be honest, pretty much all of us never got to properly watch either Pele or Maradona outside of the World Cups. Serie A and whatever leagues Pele played in were not broadcast on British television back then. It's not like today where you can watch and replay every second of every Ronaldo or Messi performance with just a few clicks.
