Anyone else been watching the greatest sportsperson ever show on sky one?Pretty much par for the course so far,just wondered what other people thought of the decisions?Personally I think the football top 3 should have been
1) Maradona
2) Pele
3) Cryuff
Think Pele gets these decisions because people look at his goalscoring record and see 1281 goals in 1363 matches and say "wow" but the santos team he played for played attacking football and the Brazilian league itself wasnt up to much at the time.Maradona isnt given the credit he deserves because of his drug problems and basically giving 2 fingers to FIFA,while Pele is Mr. Football.Dont think this should push him ahead of Maradona though.And Pele is obviously going to have a better goalscoring record than Maradona,Maradona wasnt a striker and played in the much tougher leagues of Spain and Italy where nobody scores 11 or 12 goals in a game as Pele did several times.
Ps Pele still class though! :D
Pps Wheres Michael Jordan in this poll by the way?!!!?!?He IS the greatest sportsperson ever!
