World's Greatest Ever Player

[swisswales]

michael laudrup lol.

casillas is a top keeper, schmeicel was an absolute beast in his prime though, he could stop opponents challenging for a cross through sheer intimidation alone. not quite as good a shotstopper as casillas sure, but hes a different type of keeper. his long throw was also deadly.

I agree about the keepers, they are very different, I just think that for his entire career being no.1 for Real and only once EVER being challenged for that spot, or even considered by ANY club for transfer, speaks volumes....let's not forget that Schmeical only signed for Utd in 1991 at the age of 27, without any previous big club experience. That was the year that Cassillas broke into the Real youth team, making his 1st team debut in the 97/98 season, in the European cup at 16!!! I think that has to count for a **** of a lot....8-|

ps - Whats wrong with the Laudrup boys? They were fantastic to watch!!!!!

[Ride The Walrus]

There should be an "other" section .

 

[Gromit243]

Thierry Henry gets my votee Arsenal Legend he will always be a Gunnerrr!

 

[swisswales]

please can you setup a new poll and remove all players who have yet to hit puberty!!!!

Ronaldo?...Messi?....maybe one day....but let's not disrespect the real legends just yet.....

 

[iNickStuff]

Zizou.All day,every day.Wish he played for Manchester United though.

 

[Pompey_Dan]

Henrik Larsson is included but there is no space for Garrincha, George Best, Johan Cruyff or Marco Van Basten??!! :O

 

[ikke]

Lol a lot of players don't deserve to be on the poll. For me it's definetly Johan Cruyff. He is the sole reason why Barca is the great club that it is at present. And he was magnificent for his national team.

 

[Smoop]

I voted Pele

Oh, and no Voronin option? Outrage!

 

[bcfc]

I voted Di Stefano because Alfonso Sanchez isn't in the poll XD

 

[Jack]

Alfe Inge Haaland

 

[cooper17]

Where the **** is bobby charlton. Oh sorry i meant sir bobby charlton!!!!!!!

 

[Anthony]

Where's Paul McGrath, Roy Keane and Dennis Irwin???
I'm not wasting my vote on a bunch of prancers

 

[fmguy]

i dont really feel like i can vote for this because i am only 21 and have not seen much of Pele,Maradona etc just the best bits you see on tv

I voted for Messi because i feel even at his young age he is the best player i have seen on a regular basis.

feel exactly the same.

 

[TheGreatScot]

Larsson LOL..
Zidane I'd Say, Larsson Abit Over-rated?

 

[rrufcdave]

No Tony Hibbert, therefore I'm out

 

[Shockhorror.]

Could have also had Gerd Muller up there. Unreal goalscoring record!

 

[Lizard_Growl]

Yeah the way Henry uses his hands is phenominal

 

[Irish Scouse]

Apart from the obvious.
I voted for Franz B and Pele as i couldn't decideoO) Pele was immense but Franz was the most committed player ever.

 

[christophermcl]

if you don't agree with any choices in the poll, state who you think the best ever player is and why.

I'm sorry that so many players have been missed but I feel that if I included many more players that there would be too many options. I also regret putting Henrik Larsson in there. Though he was a great player, 'henke' could never really hold a candle to Zidane or Maradona. Also I am only 14 so I would know of some of the players you guys have been mentioning. But I have to admit that I put this together in about 10 minutes so therefore was unable to give it the proper thought and consideration required.
