Do you think pele is the greatest footballer in the world?



Answers:
Was and probably always will be in number one position but there are many great players today. Impossible to say who is the best at any one time.
hands down, he is the best of the best
One of the best !
No way....Thierry Henry has to be the greatest ever
Yes I guess so
Most famous player ever, without a doubt. In the U.S., people are more likely to know his name than any other soccer player.
He *was* the greatest footballer in the world. Right now, I think even David Beckham is better than him! ;-)
One of the best, He was exceptional in his time like George Best was, But todays players are generally of a much higher standard then back then, Probably due to the training methods employed now! Today I agree with the Chap above Thierry Henry is probably the best at the moment!
Well, he WAS. And better than the so-called great Brazilian players - who did so indifferently in the last World Cup - around at the moment. He also composes himself better as a person than say George Best or "bad boys" like Maradona, Zidane or Cantona
firstl its football not soccer ok yank,, back to the question,,dont you think hes a bit to old to be the best player in the world !!
in his days he was the best, but football has evolved since then.
top of the list!!!!! yeah!!!!
he was the greatest of his era but there are numerous players better now..
i think you cant ompar him with oterhs
each great player is in his/ her own league trend setter
be it pele, maradonna , ronaldo, zidane (great head butt)
no he wasn't isn't...he was skillfull and quick but not a great all round player. I think Tim Lovejoy is the best player this world as ever seen.
Is he FCUK!! The Brazilian poof!!
I am and always will be.

Regards
D. Maradona
No, I prefer Maradona. and at the time, Michael Ballack is the GREATEST player in my idea.
Waste of 5 points. Pele is only one of the best footballers in the world. There can't be any best footballer in the world.
yes..definitely.Henry is close tho!
In his era I agree he was the best player yes. In the new era it's hard to pick a player with his talent and hunger for the game.
well he advertises viagra so he stands out a mile from anyone else!
I think it was Johan Cruyff(Johannes Cruijff).
I think he is one of the best football players, but so was George Best.
no way, for me it is beckham.
not at the moment he's not as nippy as he once was
I dont think Pele is the greatest "footballer" in the world, maye the greatest attacker in the world but certainly not footballer. There have been many great players but would Pele have been just as great if he had to play at left back. A great player needs to be able to play in lots of positions and not just score lots of goals although this can be useful!!
The word "is" implies the present tense.and I hate to be the one to break it to you but Pele no longer plays competitive football.

But, yes.he was one one of the best footballers ever. Today it would be a toss-up between the likes of Ronaldinho, Raul, Buffon and those types of guys. I dare say CRESPO <3 <3 <3 is in the running too.
By miles Pele is Mr Football always and forever.
I love Pele and Brazilian players, But I still think Pele is not the greatest player!
He is one of the greatest But I think Maradona beats him.
Our generation didnt see Pele play, so we just have to go by the records he had. But we have seem Diego Maradona Play!
Zidane play, and Rivaldo Play!

So ma answer is, MAy be not the best, but one of the best!
Let's see he's a three time world cup champion, he has over a 1,000 goals in his career, he changed the game of football to what it is today, i would say by far he is the greatest footballer in the world, there's no one with stats like him, during his time, there was no one that could stop him, you dont see that in todays game, oh yeah they could stop him, they would intentionally hurt him, Pele Changed football, made the game more exciting, and just for that he is the best..
No, Diego Maradona is, but you'll find a lot of English people won't acknowledge Maradona because of the "Hand Of God" incident in 1986, sad really because on individual skill Pele gets nowhere near Maradona.
