If not for the hand of god then i would have agreed, class act like, but still reckon Pele shades it for me.
Different era's mate and it's just like Marciano or Ali, we'll just never know. Both at the top of their games when at their peak.
People wanna give the bloke **** for being a coke head, let them. Same folk will rip Besty for being a drunk and say Pele was a god, truth be told Pele was nowhere near and is the biggest fraud in football history. Diego is the man, always will be, even though we're all supposed to hate him.
Frig off. CHEAT that is that we were done in 1986 we never lost. Like so many world cup tournaments done by the refs. That ref was crap in that game I still cringe 30 years later that should have ended 1-1 and what would have happened ?, like Batistuta the Argy twat. Cruyf, Messi and Ronaldo and the king Pele were better than him !.
Yes he was a cheating **** like so many modern day players. Can't argue that he has to be up on the top of the pile with the rest of the greats from their respective era's.
You're entitled to your opinion like everybody else Monty. If you fancied Pele's BBC in your sewer then that's ok.
Like Billy says I remember him for being a cheat. Thierry Henry one of the best in the Prem imo but I remember him now for cheating to qualify for the WC and knock Eire or N.I. out whichever one it was.
This. Diego the best player this world has seen. On a different level, despite being a cheating, coke-fiend
