To me it's still Maradona.
Such a big fan of Van Basten, who would've been considered one of the few best forwards ever if injury hadn't derailed him. I still remembered the time he scored 4 goals a game with ease in Series A and Championship League. That was one cool AC Milan team.

Figo 
I don't watch soccer, but my portuguese genes forced me to name him.

Please, Pele is so overrated and overhyped.
Saying Pele is the best soccer player ever is like saying Cal Ripkin is the best Baseball player ever.

I agree whole heartedly with Ronaldinho, but not so much with Henry ... there is someone else I would put in his place. _________________

Who would you have put ahead of him? Etoo? _________________

As for Keane if he had been from one of the big footballing nations he would have been lauded far more.

As for Keane if he had been from one of the big footballing nations he would have been lauded far more. Davids played well until christmas, after he got injured he didnt really get back into form, and played pretty shockingly on some occassions.
As for Keane, I agree if he was English he would have probably had much more status worldwide than he had. The same could have been said for Giggs, the best left winger I've ever seen. _________________
