Maradona-might be a junkie but he won the world cup single handed-Pele won it in a quality team Maradona had a pile of crap for teamates-either that or Zidane who also won the world cup single handed. France won the world cup with that Guivach dude who failed to score in about 30 games when he played for newcastle

In a poll conducted a couple of years ago by FIFA, audience the world over rated Diego Maradona (Argentina) as the best player ever by giving him the maximum votes. On the other hand, critics rated Pele (Brazil) as the best.\n\nWhereas there exists some element of doubt, Pele is often considered as the best player by players and critics alike.

Technically Sammy Eto'o or Ronaldinho would be up there. Physically then your looking at Gerrard but its Thierry isnt it? surely the guy used to be a winger and not even a very good one now is arguably the strongest, quickest and technically most advanced footballer in the world. In my opinion a true athlete.

football is not really about scoring goals - take control of the game and the goals will come.\n\nand it is not at all about 'transfer value' - football is a sport not a business.\n\nthe greatest england player of all time was probably stanley matthews. i suspect even bobby charlton and gary lineker would agree with such an estimation.

Just see how the 22 players mingle with one ball. I always wonder how they can pass the ball so correctly. Ronaldinho? Wow...he is one of the wonders of the world.

i agree. pele was absolutely incredible. he didnt just have the skill but he had the brains and vision of a world class footballer. but for me at the moment it has to be thierry henry closely followed by ronaldinho, then kaka, then steven gerrard

Muhammed Ali\n  \nPelé\n\n(I have met somebody who played against Pelé, and against Garrincha, and all the famous footballers of that era, Stanley Matthews etc. I don't think he would have voted for a footballer as the best sportsman!)\n\nJesse Owens (well before my time)

If you're asking who, it is Ronaldinho.  How he became the best is his hard work on the field.

THE ONE AND ONLY RONALDINHO. HE IS SIMPLY SUPERB. HE IS IN HIS OWN CLASS,ABOVE THE REST. HE IS UNTOUCHABLE. IF THE GREAT PELE IS KNOWN AS THE KING OF FOOTBALL, THE MAESTRO RONALDINHO IS THE PRINCE OF FOOTBALL. WITH DUE RESPECT TO ROONEY, IT IS AN UNDENIABLE FACT TO SAY THAT RONALDINHO IS THE BETTER PLAYER THAN ROONEY. IT IS UNCOMPAREABLE. IN GERMANY, RONALDINHO WILL BE THE BETTER PLAYER THAN ANYONE ELSE. HIS TOUCH, HIS SKILL, HIS PATIENCE, HIS COMMITMENT AND HIS DEDICATION WILL DEFINITELY MAKE HIM THE BEST THAN THE REST. THE LIVING FOOTBALL MAGICIAN ~ RONALDINHO.
