I'm old enough to remember the 1970 World Cup, that Brazil team with shirts the colour of the sun even when seen on black and white telly, and how Pele was the standout player in a ****ing glorious tournament. So sort of.

Pele, Cruyff and Maradonna are the holy trinity for me, in any order.

Ditto. And Andriy Voronin.

Was Pele really all that? Is anyone here old enough to confirm?
He was clearly a fantastic player, but most of what anyone on here has seen was as part of an absolutely ridiculous team.
It does make you wonder how he compared to some of his contemporaries, like Eusebio or older players, where we have even less footage.
The bloke that Ronaldo may have overtaken has a ridiculous record, but what was the quality like? 399 goals in 211 games for Slavia Prague. <yikes>
 
Nine to see fifa **** over the clubs trying to ruin football with their super league plan.

That for some players is an empty threat. they get the majority of the cash they earn from club football. So a super league would be a better financial option. Plus if you are Scottish/Welsh....why would you care?
