In terms of greatest American player ever, I'd go with Landon Donavon, with Dempsey a close second. As for greatest to play in the premier league it would have to be Dempsey or Freidel.
My opinion anyways.
Donovan has played in the PL

what not even with a mighty Spurs top on?
the odd handball is like the odd bit of diving nowadays surely by Messi.

Maradona was better than Pele (and Messi) for me

Pele was better than him,and he did'nt have to cheat,plus he scored one of the best goals in the World cup finals
Wait, wait, wait...Maradona didn't score one of the best goals in the World Cup finals?
Pele wasn't as squeaky clean as people make out - he just didn't cheat against England, so the English press haven't spend decades banging on about it whilst the rest of the world couldn't give a mile high club.
Totsfan you still seem bitter about 86![]()
So it's definitely Pele then.![]()

Or how some overrate him either. He's on a par with the Heskeys of this world not the Drogbas.
Croydon, 3pts now are you going to update your sig?
Talk of changing sigs why dont you
See what happens when your team try and play football.. 
Greatest American footballer('s haircut)?
I'm convinced that Huddlestone's game will improve if he dyes the fro blond and grows a dubious tache.
Well we did have maybe our best English side in the early part of that decade. Sideburns, and bell bottom shorts. As for the boots!
