Gazza above Puskas is pretty riidculous too.
Rooney above World Cup winning captain Lothar Matheus (who was at or near world class for two decades).

Maradona won the world cup on his own.
For that reason he's number 1.
As for Beckham bring better than Zidane....

No Zico indeed?!?!? Well I had to put that in again!! Sir Trev and Dev were better than a lot of those and as some have said Mo Salah? One great season admittedly but really?! Shearer and Aguero must be at least up with Rooney and Owen if not better, and as much as I dislike him Luis Suarez on his day can be as good as a lot of those.

Hurst, Peters, Brooking > Owen.
I'd put Bonds as well, but given he was never capped, it might be a bit difficult to explain to outsiders.

I know you weren't being facetious, Cough. I meant no insult either. It's just a pointless exercise.
1. The eras-comparison is silly.
2.Pele is largely myth:
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/world-cup/10874465/How-and-why-Peles-mystique-and-reputation-as-the-worlds-greatest-ever-footballer-has-been-overhyped.html
3. A list that even compares Lev Yashin and Kevin Dr Bruyne serves what purpose, exactly? (I suppose it does say "Top", which is conveniently meaningless).
4. Even "now"s 2 finest players are in the wrong order. (SWT)
Random names are quite easily explained by one-off memories. It's not science.
Happy debating. (Where's Clyde BEST?)

geoffpikey, I wasn't being facetious when I mentioned John Charles, I of course meant the legendary John Charles or Il Gigante Buono of Cardiff, Leeds and Juventus fame, not our own fullback John Charles good as though he was for us

So at Euro 2004 England had four of the greatest forty players of all time. And still didn't get past the quarter finals.

There must be 40 players not on that list who deserve to be on it ahead of Michael Owen - I can think of three who were Hammers
