Tough question, every great player practically belongs to a different era... I think Pele of course is already on the top 3, but my favourite is Beckenbauer; I like how 'complete' he's been throughout his life. But I think the absolute best (alethough maybe behind Pele) is Johan Cruyff. BTW, where's Lev Yashin...????
Maradona had the best of speed , skill and dribbling poweress and the the best of feet moment.In 86 he single handedly won the WC for Argentina.In 90 WC he was not at all given space by the opponents to move. No other footballer was as feared by the opponents as Maradona
