Are you specifying any criteria for judging "greatest"

Most talented?
Best peak?
Best overall career?
Biggest legacy?
Most impact on how the game was played?

 

[Pouchkine]

Forget this.

 

[Evilo]

Pele, Cruyff, Platini, Messi, Maradona, Beckenbauer, Di Stefano, and for the last one, I'm torn.

 

[lud]

Pirlo
Zidane
Redondo
Lahm
Zico
Iniesta
Rui Costa
Laudrup(Michael)

Your choice

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

It will be interesting to see how many people put names of players on their list they haven't seen play before.

There are lot of videos from 70's,80's...
Though, it's not the same thing.

 

[S E P H]

I only have two, Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo.

E: Ohh I forgot about that beard guy from Italia. Pirlo I think his name was.

E2: Add Kaka to the list.

 

[Evilo]

My final choice is between :
Zico, Zidane, Puskas, Socrates, Eusebio, Ronaldo, Garrincha, Muller.

Pele and Di Stefano I never saw live. All of the others I have in my top 8 players list. Cruyff not long.

 

[Live in the Now]

Gerrard, Suarez, Salah, Alonso, Mascherano, van Dijk, Carragher, Owen. There you go.

In all seriousness, I'll go with Messi, Pele, C. Ronaldo (but if this rape thing is proven true, I would never put him anywhere near this list), Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Platini, Garrincha.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Since the obvious will already be nominated...

Carles Puyol
Thierry Henry
Petr Nedved
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Andriy Shevchenko
Alessandro Nesta
Hristo Stoichkov
Zlatan Ibrahimovic

 

[YNWA14]

Messi, Cruyff, Pele, CR7, Beckenbauer, Platini, R9 and van Basten.

 

[Luigi Habs]

Messi
Cristiano
Pele
Maradona
Ronaldo
Cruyff
Beckenbauer

8th is one of Garrincha Zidane or Platini. Going with Zidane as a personal preferance and because I saw him play more.

 

[robertmac43]

Hmm a lot of the ones i would have said have already been mentioned so I'm going start extending this:

Beckham
Pires
Thuram
Bergkamp
Rivaldo
Best
Eusebio
Bobby Charlton

Edit: I saw Eusebio was taken but realized it was @Evilo just decideing so i'm going to add him to mine.

 

[robertmac43]

He is replacing Robben for me

 

[JeffreyLFC]

My favourite: Zidane
My GOAT : Messi
I never saw play the great dutchs (Cruyff, Van Basten) & brazilians (Zico, Pele, Garincha) & german (Muller, Beckenbauer)

HM to Ronaldinho who is possibly the most entertaining player I watched.

 

[alko]

The never-ending story continues. To make it quick: Pele. Close thread.

 

[Corto]

Nvm, I just saw that already nominated players don't count.

Paco Gento
Luis Suarez (original one, 50s Barca and 60s Inter one)
Luka Modric
Davor Suker
Paolo Maldini
Franco Baresi
Dejan Savicevic
Raymond Kopa

 

[Albatros]

Shearer
Keegan
Lineker
Gascoigne
Sheringham
Rooney
Scholes
Le Tissier

 

[Pouchkine]

CruyffPele MaradonaPlatiniPuskasMessiBeckenbauer VanBasten if not for injuries and a bad WC would probably be there, Shevchenko my favorite of the last 25 years easy.
