Ski Posted August 18, 2005 Report Posted August 18, 2005 The 10 Greatest Soccer Players in History: 1. Pele (Brazil) Got to see him play for the Cosmos. Amazing... 2. Eusebio (Portugal) Led Portugal to the third place in world cup 1966, made "Benfica" European champion, etc. almost entirely by his individual efforts. The best "attacking forward" ever lived. 3. Maradonna (Argentina) 4. Beckenbauer (Germany) The best European player (Eusebio was born in Mosambique) and the best defenseman who ever played. (Next to him as defensman probably comes Bobby Moore - captain of Enland, world cup champion of 1966) 5. Cruyff (Holland). Beckenbauer's competitor as the best Euroean socccer player. 6. Di Stefano (Spain) Born in Argentina, playd in Spain, made "Real" what it is. 7. Garrincha (Brazil). The best "dribbler". Another Brazilian - Jairzihno comes close to him but still not "up to". 8. Puskas (Hungary) The leader of Hugarian "dream team". 9. Zidane (France) Made France to be among leaders of world soccer. 10. Yashin (USSR) The best goalkeeper that ever played, simple but very reliable. Was like a wall to the opposite team. Transformed the entire way of how goalkeepers should play. And the Next Generation: Quote
