[numnumnum09]

@sgs1402 no pele is way better Maradona is drunk and taking drugs pele is not doing that he is serving children who need food water and shelter

[kghirmai]

In what world is zidane better than ronaldihno

[sgs1402]

Maradona is the best

[Synger94]

bobby moore ? definatly someone english made this

[ADGILE07]

Eric contona

[avatarjeroen13]

johan cruyff should at least be in top 3, considerably 1. Compared to pele and maradona he was a way more complete player. (just my opinion)

[ADN504]

this video is ass what about ronaldhino.....u think that pele plays better then ronaldhino .....pele was good but he was good because everybody was ass back in the day

[darkfraternity]

this video is golden and so correct...and for those asking where messi is...lets get serious..messi has done nothing internationally. To make the list of greatest of all time u must be able to perform for both club and country and messi hasnt performed consistently for country

[Sk8rUly]

where is messi

[jherc12990]

how about jorge gonzalez "el magico"

[ADN504]

@jherc12990 what about ronaldhino

[ADN504]

@ADN504 christiano ronaldo

[jherc12990]

what about messi

messi won 95% of every trophy except for the copa america and the world cup

[pajaritopatito1229]

What about figo??

[zombiekillas101]

what about eric cantona

[TheDragonball222]

Michael Laudrup??

[David20092]

Cruyff is the best player ever.

[Daski69]

Maradona

Ronaldo (o fenomeno

Zidane

Ronaldinho

that's not my opinion, it's a scientific fact

[sarikirmizinet]

Hagi only 21............ he won Uefa Cup against Arsenal & Super Cup against Real Madrid with Galatasaray. And why are Hakan Sükür not on the list, he has so many World Records. Just look at Fifa official webpage. Ronaldinho should be on top 10.

[ilovefcb97]

where's messi???

[809Alan]

@ilovefcb97 are you stupid read the title 400 thousend times. do you know that of all time means? messi wont even be in the top 40, in my mind.

[ilovefcb97]

@809Alan I think Messi should be there. And here is many of those, who think just like me. That is our opinion and you have yours. It's not your problem, what I think.

[anistheamerican]

guys come on, ZIDANE is the best player in history.

[TheBerber666]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA - Bechanbauer ranked 4, and Roberto Bagio 25 ,, Ronaldino 13

[nikeljc]

messi?!?!?!??!?!?

[scientistn1]

Where mr Denis Bergamp, I think he was better than Henryyyy............

[MrGuiangelo]

oh and Pele is trash trust me

[MrGuiangelo]

My LIst fu if you dont like it 1) Maradona 2)Baggio 3)Ronaldo (brz) 4)Ronaldinho 5)Zidane It is sad some many people dont know Baggio or seen him play not just you tube vids

[feuerwassergeist]

And Ronaldo on place 14 (One of the 3 best players ever) ... That says all ... who ever made this list ... perhaps you are a good guy ... bud you have absulute no knowledge of football.

Perhaps you are from the USA ??? ... or you are a absolute fanatical and patriotic english football fan, or you are a 14 or 15 year old kid ??? ... or perhaps you eat drugs like candy ... or, don?t know ... has anybody an idea how can someone create a list like this ???

[SeekrofTruth25]

@feuerwassergeist and? im from the USA and i bet i have more knowledge about football then you, but yea Ronaldo is easily the best player to come out in the last decade and top 3 if not top 5 of all time.

[ManiiandNanii]

Hugo Sanchez?



[sidus87]

sorry but this list sux. Baggio #25, behing Hagi, Baresi, Ronaldinho,Stoichkov....let's be serious 

[goncaloNN]

Hey fuck platini and fuck uefa. What they all want is money,fuckin bastards.

[feuerwassergeist]

Ronaldo was 3 times world player of the year, won the world cup for 2 times and scored the most goals in world cup history ... and you put him on place 14 ??? ... wtf ... what did for example a Platini or Eusebio better than him ??? ... he is one of the top 3.

[KCIAN2]

@feuerwassergeist Platini-Ballon d'Or winner 3 years in a row, best player in history for Nancy, Saint-Etienne & France, best foreign player in Juventus' history, the greatest scoring midfielder the world ever saw, Frances record scorer until a certain Mr. Henry cam along.

Eusebio-Benfica & Portugal's greatest player, Ballon d'Or winner, 1 of if not the best striker in the 1960's.

Ronaldo was unreal but he never became the greatest player for a club or his country.

[feuerwassergeist]

@KCIAN2 ... You are funny, Ronaldo didn`t play in brazil at his zenith ... so, he could never get the Bola de Ouro (only for players in the brazilian league) ... that what i wrote was only a very little part of that what Ronaldo won ... but only his acquisitions in the world cups, puts him over Platini, Eusebio, Cruyff, Beckenbauer and so on. And i think it is not so difficult to be the best player ever if you play in Nancy or Saint-Etienne. Ronaldo plays for Barca, Inter, Real and Milan.

[KCIAN2]

@feuerwassergeist At the time Platini played for them they were the best clubs in France and constant threats in Europe. Ronaldo's career does not eclipse any of them, he was good and could have been the greatest of all if he watched his fitness and I don't no actually had some longevity with a club. I don't see how the Bola de Ouro is relevant with what I said in the previous comment. All 3 of them won more individual honours than Ronaldo and team honours.

[feuerwassergeist]

@mewert ...

1. ... where is the 2 time world player of the year Matthäus ??? ... he also won the world cup as captain of his team, and he is the player with the most games in world cup history, until today ... he nearly won everything

2. ... Ronaldo is surly one of the five best players ever. My opinion ... 1. Maradona 2. Ronaldo 3. Pele ... but you doesn`t put him into the top 10 ... that is nonsense.

[icehotrodman]

it would have been nice to see some more defensive players on the list such as hierro, carlos alberto, roberto carlos and goalkeepers..kahn, yashin ?? they also contribute to the game you know. besides that it was a good list but the order is debatable.

[creationz100]

Maradona good, pele better, GEORGE BEST!!! he should have been number 1

[1999thetwins]

Maradona is the best pele sucks!!!

[RihannasBikeSeat]

Roger Milla? I mean seriously....Roger Milla? Top player, but to say he's top 25 of all time is a joke. Would have Platini ousting Zidane as the best French player, but that's splitting hairs. Most of the right names are there, could switch most of them any way around you like and they wouldn't look out of place.

But fuck me, Milla just doesn't deserve to be there...

[s3rgrush]

1.MARADONA

2.MESSI

3.PELE



[MasterArt11]

where is ronaldo and messi?

[MasterArt11]

ronaldinho 20º? Are you crazy?

[ElainJia]

Baggio 25????

[skenderbeu90]

@ElainJia r u saying baggio is not worthy of top 25? come on now. bobby moore, puskas, garrincha, roger milla, and a few others r on this list and your gonna tell me that baggio is not worthy? roberto baggio wasnt just a great goal scorer. he was an incredible passer and play maker. very few players in history have the type of accuracy in their passes like baggio. and today only pirlo has this same talent. this list doesnt make sense anyway. ronaldo at 14? he should be top 5

[IDeathSquad]

1- mardona

2- messi

[gacouto69]

1 - GARRINCHA

2 - PELÉ

3 - RONALDO

4 - MESSI

5 C.RONALDO

6 - MARADONA

7 - RIVELINNO

8 - SHEVCHENKO

[laquinta22]

@gacouto69 Maradona 7º??? verguenza te tendria q dar, ya ponerlo 2º es una falta de respeto 1- Maradona 2-pele 3-di stefano 4-cruyff 5-messi 6-garrincha 7-zico 8-platini 9-beckenbauer 10- zidane 11-labruna 12-best 13- milla 14- franccescoli 15- eusebio

[scientistn1]

@gacouto69 Lol get C Ronaldo off that listttttttttttttttttt

[superwhoyou8]

the list is totally wrong do you really think ronaldinho would be the 20 best in the world behind zico who never won a world cup.Of coures not,maradona sucks cruff ronaldo......are way better than him

[Brasi4522]

When messi wins at least one world cup then we will consider him!!!

[thetakerstar100]

1. Messi

2.Pele

3.Maradona

4.Cryuff

5.Zidane

i know must of you will disagree with me but Messi will go down as the best ever

[MrNingatiger]

maradona #1 

[Henrikpes]

Ronaldinho in the 20 ° position is a serious ronaldinho top has to be in the top 5!

[davyjones68]

These are all great,great players of our beautiful game...but George was BEST!!!

[supersoccerfanfan90]

ronaldinho should be # 5



[palmyrocks]

Who has scored the most goals in the world pele not maradona

[s3rgrush]

@palmyrocks goals are not everything

[li3p7z]

Gunnar Nordahl?

[lucamolinari23]

Maradona is better than pele, HE made, every team he was on, champion. Napoli, for example, had a regular team that never won anything, but when Maradona arrived they won everything. Also Maradona played in a perfect and beautiful way, Pele didn't have the great abilities that Maradona had, he just score. You can look for Maradona's goals and you'll see that they are amazing, he seemed to be the god of the ball cause he did whatever he want to with it while pele just pushed the ball into the net

[grusplan123]

all other things aside, putting pele before maradona is an absolute joke. have a look at the other "stars" from the 1950-60.... even Nacka Skoglund would pose a seroious threat to pele as number one. it is like compairing cave paintings sploshed on the walls to art from the renaissance.

[filipsspil]

I personally think ronaldinho was one of the best he deserves more than a 20th place 

[numnumnum09]

Pele is so awesome I stuided him in 3 grade

[50000Hans]

@numnumnum09

Yes its a stupid list

[dowie497]

You have ruined this list with Milla, Hagi and Junior, not to mention some other that are also strange calls....

[TheBigtymer25]

This lists in my opinion is understandable and acceptable, no doubt pele was the greatest follow by the nerve recking maraddona. think proactive though,alot of great players omited from Africa, anyways good job

[TheJrc1993]

thing is the guys that played 20 years ago wouldnt stand a chance in today world...its too fast

[juuso2001]

Kaka best

[WOODLEY1981]

Anyone who puts Bobby Moore in a list of the top 25 players of all time whilst excluding Lionel Messi has no idea! Although the majority are on it, you've missed the best player of all time...woeful!

[Theinfamous0893]

good list.....first list i would only change a couple players.....maradona number one and zidane #3



[brfootball10]

Cristiano ronaldo should be #3

[MuzicXfreak]

@brfootball10 lol good one....

[braininahat]

Dude, your list is pretty good. This is such a subjective thing and you'd have to have encyclopedic knowledge of all the greats, which nobody commenting has, to make a fair assessment, and even then people will still disagree with your choices and the order. People should just take it for what it is. I don't agree with everyone on your list, nor with the order, but it's a fair job. Thanks.

[TheAeroth]

Zidan better the Cruyff ? :| Not in this life !

[TheDeveld]

cruijff was elected europes best player of the century, still you put 3 european players above him. Big mistake! Cruijff was and is europes best player ever!!!!! onl;y Maradona and Pele could compete with this dutch master!! Where are Romario, Gullit, Messi, Bergkamp, Beckham etc? I disagree with your list!!

[Andromedamilad]

Beckenbauer better than Zidane and Cruyff???  haha FUCK YOU

[2r3notgoodas1]

Wahahahaha this list is shittt is full of european players only plus the list is all wrong Ronaldo at 14 are you serious??? ronaldo is easily the best player of alltime over maradona and pele.

[nunop1997]

where is messi???!?!?!!!?

[Trancelime]

Why'd did you make that video so gay?

[nick93406]

maradonna,messi ,george best ( by the way pele said he was the best player he had ever seen )and bernie slaven

[phi3si]

Messi should defenetly be on this list

[DHRDaniel53]

wheres Hugo Sanchez? he was really good

[100impailor]

where is cristiano ronaldo he de man he de man



[mdoherty8]

really no messi? and pele number one? might one of the worst lists...

[Ifuckingh8you]

bobby charlton better than Ronaldo?!?

Get real

[slycy007]

....list is good but Zidane ahead of Cruyff is a disgrace...

[freknotk7]

paulo rossi anyone??

[wire365]

maldini needs to be on this list

[kakarulz8]

rofl! how is Kaka not in there! besides Messi isn't even a idfeilder none of these players were lol

[MSTUCKY1611]

Hardest sport to rank the best...international vs club success. Also, in other sports stats are more meaningful but in soccer you can be a great player with few goals or assists. 1. Cruyff 2. Zidane 3. Pele 4. Ronaldo 5. Garrincha 6. Maradona 7. Muller 8. Romario 9. Di Stefano 10. Platini 11. Eusebio 12. Beckenbauer 13. Best 14. Fontaine 15. Puskas 16. Hagi 17. Laudrup 18. Maldini 19. Messi 20. Van Basten 21. Zico 22. Baresi 23. Matthews 24. Giggs 25. C. Ronaldo

[CinderRaven]

Maradona? Come on wheres Messi

[mizofan]

Pelé, Cruyff, Maradona, Di Stefano, Zidane, Puskas, Beckenbauer, Platini, Garrincha, Eusebio, Ronaldo, Van Basten, Messi, Zico, Maldini, Matthaus, Meazza, Charlton, Best, Yashin, Romario, Charles, Baresi, Moore, Gullit

+ C.Ronaldo, Laudrup, Henry, Ronaldinho, Rivera, Andrade, Schiaffino, Bergkamp, Figo, Bican, Krol, Dalglish, Facchetti, Hagi, Weah, Zizinho, Kopa, Nordahl, Scirea, Fontaine, Mattews, Sindelar. ...a pity Duncan Edwards died so young.

[fanaticnik]

Why doesn`t garrincha ever make it in any of the lists. He carried his team better than maradona did and just like ronaldo he`s form deteriorated really badly in his last years.

[supermorshu]

George best was better than Maradona he could fly past a team and score better goals than him

[mizofan]

@supermorshu Nonsense: Best was a great genius-entertainer but a wayward character, dubious attitude as a team player, lacked dedication, past it while still in his 20s, failed to make a world cup, should have won far more trophies given that he played alongside Charlton and Law (2 international greats). He may look spectacular on youtube and he delighted fans, but you have to take the overall picture. He had glaring weaknesses. Pelé the greatest. Cruyff an incredible general and visionary

[supermorshu]

Thierry Henry should be much higher

[AndreJansenJr]

Thanks for this nice remembering of great football players. In my opinion however it is impossible to compare football players. Like singers; you like one voice or special ability, or a personality. The same aspects have football players. I would give a reward to YouTube, that made it possible for us to enjoy making vids, sharing and commenting them. THANKS !!

Kind greetings from The Netherlands.

Who WILL BE the best player? JUST CLICK MY NAME..

[jfsh210]

Ronaldinho shouldn't be in the list, not the way how poor he's playing for the last couple of years. As for the list; all a matter of personal preference, not to mention that the one who uploaded this is only 26 years old an doesn't have any clue how good the old masters really were, other than what he's seen on a few old grainy videos.

[jfsh210]

And if you're not putting Messi and C. Ronaldo in there (Messi awarded 1x world player of the year, twice in second position, C. Ronaldo awarded 1x player of the year, plus a 2nd and 3rd spot) , but you do list Thierry Henry, then you seriously don't know what you're doing son or do you disagree?

[jfsh210]

And let's not get started about Roger Milla....sigh, the only reason why you put them in there is because he excelled in only one tournament, 3 weeks of his football carreer. If he were that good, he wouldn't have been played for these teams only: Eclair, Léopard, Tonnerre, Valenciennes, Monaco, Bastia, Saint-Étienne, Montpellier, Saint-Pierroise, Tonnerre, Pelita Jaya, Putra Samarinda

Seriously.... stuff like that could have been avoided with a little bit more research.

[BrazilianXSkillz]

@jfsh210 ronaldinho is the best and its because he is old now world cup 2002 lets go

[irockking]

@jfsh210 yo what are you talking about? ronaldinho is one of the greatest player ever. ok his been playing bad lately but he was amazing in Barcelona and even before. how do you think messi became so good,him and ronaldinho were close. ronaldinho is no doubt one of the best and he deserved to be on this list. and if you don't believe me look him up on you tube and see for yourself

[amankoable]

where is JAY JAY OKOCHA?

[KrayeMHa]

lmao...where is romario.....rivera....sanchez cantona ???/stupid video

[superdan1875]

Roger Milla?!?!?

surely Gary Lineker or Jimmy Greaves!!!

[Grugby2009]

not being mean but why in all best 20 and stuff is there no leeds players like bremner gray just saying why is junior in there and bremner isn

[mizofan]

@Grugby2009 The greatest to play for Leeds was undoubtedly John Charles, magnificent centre half, the best Britain has had, and then top goalscorer as centre forward in Italy, a legend at Juventus, helped Wales to world cup 1/4 final then injured (deliberately crocked by the Hungarians) and missed the 1-0 defeat v Brazil. Bremner and Gray were great for Leeds but less so for Scotland. Dalglish the best Scottish player overall. Then Denis Law.

[Grugby2009]

@mizofan i agree mate but no one really remebers charles plus bremner was kicked out of the scotland team plus gray was allways had injurys but i agree with your comment

[mizofan]

@Grugby2009 That's the trouble, on youtube it seems some of the greatest players aren't known or appreciated. John Charles deserves promotion. That Leeds team of the 70s was great of course, Bremner the fiery heart, Gray a class act, along with Giles.

[MrKenan27]

hagi ist the best...

[apujuru]

Cadê Romário???????

Cadê Rivaldo????????

Nunca o R.Gaúcho jogou melhor do que o Rivaldo.

Charlton melhor do que o Garrincha!!!??????????

Acima do mágico das pernas tortas, só o rei Pelé, só!!!

[genz0wakabayashi]

brazilians sucks..their age is over..they return to their dirty countries cuz they sucks in europe football

[imaSirius]

Eusébio??

[EndreBjorgo]

Messi? Ronaldo? 

[shaiz45]

u forgo eric cantiner and c.ronaldo

[BABusManStu]

Dont forget lists like this depend on opinion, Ronaldo would be abit further up in my list, and its mostly the flambouyant players that get noticed and discussed in this sense, players that player in the defensive quarter or the centre midfield dont usually discussed, notable exceptions would be Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer, however I would of included Peter Schmeichel, Gordon Banks, Paul Scholes, Paulo Maldini, and Rivaldo in a longer list

[fgomesassis2]

I could create a list with 25 greatest football players in history composed by brazilians only. Where is Socrates, Falcão, Rivellino, Ademir da Guia, Dirceu Lopes, Luis Pereira, Romario, Rivaldo, Nilton Santos, Djalminha, Pepe, Didi, Gerson, Edu, Tostão, Leônidas da Silva, Canhoteiro and many others? Totaly discussable this list

[RonaldoxXxCristiano]

@fgomesassis2 and Roberto Carlos

[Tesewan]

Where is Romario????

[chine62]

Whoever compiled this list is crazy. Who is Henry to come before Baggio? Man, you are not qualified to say a thing about football.

[STUKAY]

Very difficult to pick a list to suit everyone, but I would've included players such as Bergkamp, Matthaus, Maldini, Baresi and Gullit in my list. Maradona would be my number 1 and not Pele.

[simolui]

baggio 25th get real bro' a list in the first 10....

[murdercheese]

Very interesting list. But where the fuck is Matthaus?

[sposti114]

where are figo and raul??

[SCHWIEGALICIOUS]

i think ronaldinho should be higher

[snip3rSBkill]

@SCHWIEGALICIOUS

totally gotta agree with you. Ronaldhino should be like 8-15 not 20

[umuteker]

Very good list. My list : 1-Pele (Your 1) 2- Maradona (Your 2) 3- Beckenbauer (Your 4) 4- Zidane (Your 5) 5- Cruyff (Your 6) 6- DiStefano (Your 3) 7- Ronaldo (Your 14) 8- Puskas (Your 10) 9- VanBasten (Your 17) 10- Platini (Your 9) 11- Best (Your 8) 12- Eusebio (Your 7) 13- Charlton (Your 11) 14- Garrincha (Your 12) 15- Müller (Your 13) 16- Romario 17- Matthaus 18- Zico (Your 19) 19- Baggio (Your25) 20- Yashin

[whackyronu]

puskas only 10, cruijff 6 ??? it's sad. Pele, Cruijff , puskas, Di stefano, beckenbauer, maradona, zidane, moore, best, eusebio is a better 10

[Latinlions19]

Your full of shit dont make videos again. Messi needs to be on the top 25

[estebandi122]

@Latinlions19  jaja really dude, really u make me laugh , wat are you, 10 years old?

[Fifa09Wii]

@Latinlions19 LOL

[adevarul13]

is that an official list ?

[Pogneman]

Yachine !?

[feuerwassergeist]

Where is Matthäus ? World Cup Winner 1990, World Player in 1990, Record-Player for Germany, ... 

[EtziHomer]

Number 1 is Fernando Torres

[IanGillanN1]

Nice list! Of course Dennis Bergkamp is missing. I've would like to see the Iceman at 2 or 3 place

[be1j1ngk1ng]

ronaldo at 14? ronaldo is at least top 5

[MaJeD871]

@be1j1ngk1ng agree... it should be 1.Maradona 2.Pele 3.Ronaldo...... then whoever

[BILLYnKAREN]

Nah! 1 Billy Bremner, 2 Bobby Charlton, 3 George Best. no point in thinkin bout the rest, no-one comes close. Dont repeat the stats argument, Statistics mean nothing if they are derived from the fact that in the overwhelming majority of Pele's games were against fourth rate (not 2nd or 3rd) opposition in a league where most (MOST)of the players were not very good. I will not jump on the LUVVIES bandwagon and say Pele was the greatest just to fit in with jawless peers.

[vsartini]

@BILLYnKAREN If your theory is true, how could you explain 1958, 1962 and 1970?

1966 Pele was so badly injured that after that world cut FIFA introduced the red and yellow cards...

[WM442433]

Ok, but defenders deserves their own vid i think. Come watch my list. Thanks to visitors.

[juanpapal]

2010 NOT 1970 IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MarkJupp]

@juanpapal Mate, it says of all time.

[estebandi122]

@juanpapal all time!!!!!!!! , i think you are the idiot

[jorgeiramain]

falta batistuta, rivaldo, passarella, roberto carlos

[99rcr]

[Slidebird]
