Both French teams had brilliant players - for every Thuram and Henry there was a Tigana or Giresse in Platini's side. But Zidane made the difference. Two headers in the final in 1998 plus his goal in the European Cup final - when did Platini do that?

Your point about Klose is meaningless because although he's scored a high number of goals in two world cups, who has he scored them against? He got 3 of them against the mighty Saudi Arabia for a start! It's like saying Oleg Salenko had a better 1994 world cup than Baggio or Romario because he scored a goal more - even though he got 5 of them against Cameroon in a group game!

Technically Maradona is in a class of his own, that's why I voted for him.

And because he's the most entertaining to watch.

All the big players from his generation, and future generations who did watch agree it's Pele. That and the videos I've watched are good enough for me.

Maradona.

Such as?

maradona personal opinion

That's bullsh*t. People that know what they are talking about, tend to pick Maradona from what i've heard, seen and read.

Although it's pretty close admittedly. In who they pick that is, not in ability. Maradona is a cut above in my opinion.

Platini? Lol is this a joke? He was great player but nowhere near the greatest of all time. He wasnt even the best player for his country.Zidane.

its hard to decide who is the best player besause everyone value different aspects of a players game. personally i think george best is the best, pele, maradonna, charlton, eusebio, puskas etc... are truly great players but i think if you put them all together, with no team mates and the ball at their feet ,im sure best had more natural ability than anybody who has ever played the game

The best player is not in that list: Alfredo Di Steffano.

Don't see Zidane either

Puskas!

Zidane.

Cruijff...

Yessica,theres a surprise!

haha is ther? why?

Not Van Basten then Yessica?

van Basten was not in the list.
but they are on the same line...both ex ajax.

Zidane isnt on the list either.Do you think if Kluivert would have applied himself more that he could have been one of the greats?

nah dunno...i think he is a very good player...but not as good as cruijff.

So lovely lady,who do you think was best out of Van Basten,Gullit and Rijkaard?
