Personally, I reckon Ronaldhino is the most talented player alive playing now, far more than hand of God maradonna ever was; but Pele was the better [b]footballer by far also. Maradonna scored one or two good goals and that's it.[/b]
He did goals that Pelè is still dreaming about.
You'll never see a match where Pelè scored from midfield,directly from the corner,from the midfield at the beginning whistle and such gems....
Plus Pelè played for Brazil and had a real team packed of champions behind him ,Maradona had Argentina and Naples,not the best at that time......

And modern players play simply for the love of the game!! 😛
In Pele's day wages were a fraction of what they are today who can blame him for trying to earn a crust.
Here's my top 10.
1. Pele
2. Stanley Mathews
3. Booby Moore
4. Ronaldinho
5. George Best
6. Johan Cruyff
7. Franz Beckenbauer
8. Gordon Banks
9. Eusabio
10.Tierry Henry
It's like a top ten musicians' list without Mozart.
By the way it's Bobby Moore,Eusebio and Thierry Henry.

Originally posted by RavelloHand Of God may have scored the occasional good legal goal - Best scored great goals regularly. The fact is we are talking about footballers, not simply goal scorers. It's clear you are biased because he played for a team near to you in Italy. He was quite a good footballer, at times a brilliant goalscorer but not worthy of a place in the best ten footballers list.

NO WAY!
edit; I seriously doubt he's scored a "thousand" goals in top class games; or did you mean a thousand videos of the same few goals
