    The greatest footballer that ever lived? Yes IMO. Makes me laugh the amount of times he puts it on a plate for a team mate and they completely screw it up!
    His free kicks were out of this world, the closest I have seen to him was Gianfranco Zola and guess who taught him how to take a free kick? Yeah you got it, Maradona.

    Maradona was more influential to me. Maybe it's becuase I used to wear the Puma Maradona's when I was 8 years old?

    The public FIFA vote suggests the public disagree with you. Diego won by twice as many votes as Pele and FIFA gave them both the award because they didn't see it coming and felt it was an insult to Pele.


    Diego Armando Maradona is the best football player who ever lived. I only got the chance to watch him myself during the tail end of his career, being too young to have seen his heyday at the time but I've obviously watched back the 86 world cup and stuff. The best football player I have ever seen. It amuses me how English fans (not you obviously) tend to try to dispute that because of the Hand of God, as if he didn't score probably the best goal ever in the same match :rolleyes:

    Are you just saying that because of the hand of god? He was the greatest player who ever lived.

    I remember as a kid even after the hand of God everyone still wanted to be Maradona when we were playing footie and when asked who the best player in the world was you would still say Maradona.

    We were pissed off about the hand of God ... but still thought he was amazing.
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
