Franz Beckenbaur(ok so the spelling isnt great,but he was)
Bobby Moore
Franz Beckenbauer
Diego Maradona
Pelé
Garrincha
Paul McGrath
Johann Cruyff
Zico
Roberto Baggio
Ferenc Puskas
For me it has to be Bobby Moore. I have never seen anyone defend like him. He was a great captain and one of the finest defenders to have ever lived. His performance against Brazil in the 1970 WC is the finest individual performance I have ever seen.
Franz Beckenbaur(ok so the spelling isnt great,but he was)
For me its Diego Armando. He took a pretty average Argentina side all the way in 86, pretty much on his own. He was a real joy to watch.
Pele got injured early in 1962 WC and didnt play again. Garrincha was the star that year.Originally Posted by tetsujin1979
Cafu has played in three Finals, winning two, is he better than Maradona ?
It doesn't take away from the fact he was still a good player.Originally Posted by stojkovic
My nominee would be Just Fontaine. 13 goals in one tournament in 1958. Nuff said.

Could a mod get a poll going on this please?
Of course he was an excellent, second best ever IMO. I was merely questioning the criteria for greatness (ie medals). By that ationale Gary Neville is the best player to play in the Premiership.Originally Posted by superfrank
My top five would be ;
1. Maradona
2. Pele
3. Beckenbauer
4. Cruijff
5. Garrincha
If so I insist Gary Breen is on the listOriginally Posted by dmandmythdledge

Baggio as another nominee for 1994?
Maybe not the greatest but from that golden glow that the first world cup you can remember brings, its got to be Zico from '82. I'm still scarred by Falco's veinny arms though!
Where am I now? I'm over here,
I've got those empty pockets and I can't afford a beer.
Zico and Baggio...so just one more.

You left out the Gary Breen nominationOriginally Posted by superfrank
Ferenc Puskas has to be in the pol. If he was fully fit Hungary would have beaten West Germany well.
End of nominations. Puskas was the last one. I wasn't too sure who Der Bomber is....was it Muller??
