Diego.
Argument back on.
Maradona. End of argument.
Football's a team game. No such thing as 'GOAT'.
F*cking ‘Ell, Ollie Tanner has had a sharp fall from grace
Maradona isnt in the same league as any of the other contenders, wouldn't make the top 5.
at his best as good as anyone, but there weren't enough times we actually saw it, nowhere near the consistency as the others
John Charles, Centre half or Centre forward the goat.
Well, if other people have said it then that must add weight to your opinion. Doesn't matter really, it's what you think, and i just think you're wrong. I don't really want to do the old greatest player of all time debate, because its subjective. For me, Maradona is the best footballer i have ever seen, and not just for his ability with a football. You see differently, that's fine.
When discussing this subject, folk have to remember that the older players up to Maradona, had to display their talent whilst trying to avoid career ending tackles and virtual assaults, whilst todays top players are protected, and quite rightly so, by refs and footballing authorities.
Maradona was routinely assaulted on a football pitch. But, i'm sure that if Messi or Ronny had played during that era then they woild have been subject to the same treatment, and like all genius's, they would have found a way around it, they would still be the best, the same as Maradona did.
Of players I've actually seen in my lifetime, Cruyff was the best.
OK, not as many goals a the strikers mentioned, but he could galvanise the players around him.
How the Dutch didn't win the WC in the 70s is one of life's mysteries.
R9 and Zidane are in the conversation
I think it's clearly Messi though
Maradona 100% makes the top 5
