Best soccer player now and in the past

[S93]

All time there are several in range imo:

Goalies: Kahn, Buffon, Schmeichel, Zenga

Defenders: Beckenbauer, Maldini, Cannavaro, R. Carlos, Kohler, Baresi

Midfielders: Maradonna, Platini, Matthäus, Zidane, Cruyff, Charlton, Best

Strikers: Müller, Pélé, Ronaldo, Di Stefano, Eusébio, Van Basten, Puskás, Messi

Imagine if all these players where in there prime and this was an actual team. Every game would have 10+ goals
Throw in Romario,Dunga and Makelele(one of the best dm ever imo, but dm´s never get any credit)

The answer is - it depends...

.....On the time that football was played in. Talking now - Messi. In the 70's and 80's - Maradona. In the 60's and 70's - Pele, Best and Charlton. Prior to that you have to add in Puskas, Di Stefano, Matthews.

Good to see Puskas on your list.
He was one of the best.
