who is the best football player of all time - Pele or Maradona

i think maradona is the best. pele is a great finisher and no doubt about that. he was fast, quick and a prolific scorer during his time. he played as an all out striker but maradona offered something more. he is a playmaker and created chances for his team-mates. he is an inspiration to the team and i loved his dribbling skills. it was really a joy to watch him play and danced with the ball. i dun think C ronaldo is as good as him. Maradona is also better at delivering deadly through passes and setting up chances for his teammates

For me pele is the best and better than maradona .

pele and maradona are legends of the game. it is very difficult to pick between these two. but if you ask me to pic only one, then i will go with maradona because i haven't seen pele as much as i saw maradona.

why is the choice only two? i think there's more player to consider too.. like di stefano, beckenbauer, or zico. or maybe even zidane and ronaldinho. anyway, if you asked me which one is better between those two? i'll choose pele. winner both in the field and outside the field.

i think maradona!! because he is the best football player ever i have seen in my life. he always to about his problems with smile!! he is my idol.

there can be no such term 'the best football player of all time', each was best of his time.. Platini was the best too.. and also one question - why people always look only on scorers? there are many the best football players among guards, playmakers and goalkeepers too.

maradona his way of playing football is better then pele.and when pele was unhappy he start to broke legs to the opponents.
