Maybe in your opinion, only coz you support Napoli.
Ask any nuteral fan and 99% would say Pele.

Did he have a cocaine buffet at his party ??

I would pick Pele, as he performed over a longer period of time and had less protection from referees.

Pele by a mile!

Him taking cocaine is just wrong, it ruined him! Pele has done more for the game than Maradona!

No other player in the world won a world cup him self as he did in 1986>>>he truely is the greatest of all time, well.....thats what i think!

PELE???
The guy was great in an era of average players!

Maradona single handlely won the WORLD CUP for The Argies in 1986!

He was the BEST player to ever grace the football pitch!

Buon Compleanno Dio Maradona!

Diego Armando Maradona (born October 30, 1960) is an Argentine former footballer. He played in four World Cups and received the FIFA award of Player of the century (People's choice) after being voted in 2000 in an international internet fan poll as the best football player of all time.

Maradona by FAR is the best player ever to play the game.

maradona is the best player EVER!!
im a huge pele fan, but for me diego was and will b the best... no1 can deny peles great scoring tally, but diego was sumfin special... he got others involved in the midfield and scored goals... he won argentina the World cup in 86 all by himself!!

I'm actually going to agree with you here

diegom · Post by **diegom** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 11:08 am

So next ur goin to say that George Best is a disgrace cos how he lived his life after football????

Maradona was and still is a class act. Ok, he had problems with a drug habit after HE RETIRED from football. But he does some work at Boca's to help develop the young argies.
I judge a persons abilities on the football pitch, not what he does in his spare time or after retirement!

JUVE 11 · Post by **JUVE 11** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:58 pm

Did you forget about The World Cup, USA 94 when he failed a drug test and was immediately suspended and sent home ???

bradley · Post by **bradley** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 12:59 pm

He took cocaine.

Anyway Maradona IMO is the best ever.

Juventino · Post by **Juventino** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 1:05 pm

Maradona is the best ever. He took a struggling Napoli side who had never won a trophy to domestic and European glory and to heights they have not reached since and he led an aveage Argentina side to glory.

Maradona was the greatest that i have seen

But pele has done more for the game and revolutionised the 'beautiful game' with his mastery of skill!

Maradona had every bit as much skill as Pele and the rest.

agree but i'm just saying pele came first, and popularised playing with flair. Made kids across the world want to nutmeg defenders etc.
No doubt Diego had just as much skill!

DIEGOM are you serious average players shows that u are no older than 5 or 6 you turd do some homework and see if they were average then look at cocaine head and some of the very average players in his era. little boys should not be allowed to post if they have no knowledge of the beautiful game

Le King · Post by **Le King** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 2:12 pm

pele has done more off the field for football then wat maradona has, but on the field maradona has done more then pele...
the arguement here is who is a better player, meaning on the pitch... thats maradona

getborn · Post by **getborn** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 2:29 pm

Maradona is a controversial character who speaks his mind, regardless of whom he may upset. He himself would be happy to admit this, no excuses.

He is the guy who has the balls to say what everybody else is thinking.

So yes, Pele is more of a gentleman and someone who has helped soccer to progress many moons after his career, the arguement however, is who is a better footballer?

MARADONA > Pele.

Maradona is unique and it is a huge shame he has not contributed to football since his playing days ended, imo he is someone who could be of huge benefit to a club/ country.

are you certain all these players played in the same era

just curious

would it be fair to say most of the Brazilians played alongside Pele at some stage in world beater sides unlike the Argentinian side Maradona lead in Mexico

plus the remaining majority all played in successful club sides whilst Maradona single handedly created history with his club.

Neville Bartos · Post by **Neville Bartos** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 2:58 pm

Why cant we agree that they were both equally legendary and kings of our game? Fact is many forumites arent old enough to have experienced Pele in his heyday, so it will always be hard to compare.
Bit like comparing Clarrie Grimmett and Shane Warne for example. Different eras, different styles, etc etc

pele10 · Post by **pele10** » Wed Oct 31, 2007 3:06 pm

getborn simple answer yes they all played beetween 1962-1970 some might have played even past that year and some might have started before 1962 (anyway neville bartos is 100% with what he wrote) both were CHAMPIONS (a word used loosley about other players)

And to re-inforce my OPINION - MARADONA is a hell of alot beta than PELE.
