I always have to question when people cite Pele as the best...how many times did you actually see him play? there wasn't exactly untold live coverage of the hundred of games he played in for Santos in the 50's and 60's.

Maradonna was a bit before my time. The rest I've seen pretty much the entirety of their careers bar the early stages of Bergkamp. An honourable mention for Tony Adams, best ever centre half in the Prem and better than the acclaimed Madini who was afforded the luxury of playing for better managers in better teams in slower leagues to help him look better, win more and last longer.

I honestly don't think any player that has played in the Premiership would be in it. It is just what is brainwashed into the UK Viewer. Well, some of them.

Mes, Maldini was the best centre-half in the whole wide world at a time when the Italian League was the best in the world by a long way.
Understandable that you have a slight bias towards Arsenal, of course, but steady on a bit. Adams was a decent centre-back, for sure, but no more than that, just another Englishman routinely exposed at International level. The year before he won his first title at Arsenal, he had been made to look second-rate at Euro 88. |

At which point, he was a raging alcoholic which didn't help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZ91CP7k7X0
Also the only Captain to Captain a team to the title in 3 different decades The Adams I remember, was the dogs bollox  |

Ronaldo scored more goals in 2 seasons than Dennis in 11 years !! |
|
By:
It's not about goals, the thread is not called the top 10 goalscorers of all time, it's called which footballers are in your top 10, and Bergkamp had everything in his locker as a footballer, he was too good a passer/assister for him to made the outright striker which is why he played off either Wright, Anelka or Henry.
|
|
By:
Understand that but how can 'one of the best players in the world' only average 8 goals a season in a forward role???

pele cruyff maradona beckenbauer platini di stefano baresi van basten ronaldo-portugal |
|
By:
He was 31 by the year 2000, and was there to provide goals. Only played more than 30 games in a season twice out of 11 due to injury or age considering he was 36 in his last year, all players in their mid-thirties go into decline, at his best he was the best. And given how many goalscorers Arsenal had in the team it was never an issue, Henry, Pires, Ljungberg, Wiltord, Anelka, Overmars all score bucketloads. He was the visionary in the team as corny as that may sound.

Why do people insist on calling the Brazilian Ronaldo the 'REAL' Ronaldo?
I can understand it when Ronaldo was in his early days at Utd diving and not doing much else. He was a poor imitation of the legendary Brazilian goal machine. But since then he, along with Messi, have been the two most outstanding players of this generation. 'Real' Ronaldo my arse. |

No, they mean real as in the first, the Brazilian.

By:
You can't compare both Ronaldo's ffs, the Real Ronaldo, the original one, was more skillful, more agile and more naturally talented and scored higher quality goals, Crissy, as some painfully love struck dozy tarts on this forum call him has got better and better but that's largely down to power, flat track bullying and dead ball situations. There is not a lot of finesse to his game.

The current Ronaldo is a better player than the original.
