Where's Ricky Hill in all this?! :skeptic:

Madonna, by a country mile. Great little singer, and the complete all-round footballer. Still looks good for her age too, that Guy Ritche is a lucky chap. Oh, and she shoots people, is mates with Castro, and could very nearly supply enough charlie to service a decent NOOL day out.

Never understood the myth surrounding Pele. He's probably the complete striker, not the complete footballer, although having said that I've never seen footage of him doing stuff with the ball the likes of Henry or Ronaldinho do today. He was just the striker in the best ever team in the world and benefited from that. All he's really famous for is three misses. Oh, and now he advertises impotency drugs (though says he don't like them himself).

I cannot beleive everyone thinks Maradonna is the greatest ever.

Well with all these polls, it is always subjective, and my view is he was a cheating fcucking dwarf who was a disgrace to the game, but hey I am so pleased to see him now, makes my day;

He look's like a FAT SCOUSER THESE DAYS . CHEATING CNUT

:) :yawn: :yawn: :)

these days?!?!?! were the fook have you been for the last 2 years, man? this is how he looks nowadays

the guy is having a second chance and he´s trying to get it right. but in any case that´s his personal life. in football there wasn´t anyone as good as him, period.

oh, and in case you don´t remember you can click here ;)

Kenny Dalglish is the best player i've seen play live.

Beckenbauer said he was the best too. good enuff for me.

Mike, if he had scored that goal against, say, the French, would you have still called him a cheating dwarf?! :skeptic:

Well, yes, technically he'd still be short, but would you really give a shit then?!

And he ain't fat these days!

In all seriousness, for me Paolo Maldini. It amazes and annoys me that a Defender rarely, if ever, wins any player of the year awards. Maldini, over 100 caps for Italy, 4 world cups, is it 3 European Cups, arguably still the best defender in Italy. Certainly the best defender in the world for most of the 90's.

Yet because he doesnt do a few fancy tricks hardly anyone mentions him...

Correct me if I'm wrong but he hasn't been a regular in the Milan side all season. In fact, I think he's 3rd choice leftback behind Serginho and Kaladze, no? So not the best defender in Italy by any stretch.

However, you're right, defenders never get any recognition, unless they can play the ball out of defence a la Beckenbaur or Moore. And you'd never see a goalkeeper finish anywhere in this either. Nor even a defensive midfielder when they're arguably the final piece in any jigsaw (Makele at Chelsea, anyone? Or Keane in the best United teams of later years).

Maradona though, that boy could turn a match on its head. Not many players today who could do that.

18 May 2006, 01:43

He's been injured this year so that rules him out now. But as for Greatest player ever...

18 May 2006, 02:06

Maldini's also about 38 so they've got to plan for the future,

Runners-up: Pele Best Zidane Cantona Dalglish Garrincha Henry The Divine Ponytail (Baggio)

PS Maradona can never be included cos as Shug says THE BEST DON'T CHEAT PPS American Football isn't football. If you carry the ball in your hands IT ISN'T FOOTBALL!
