Only my opinion, but he’s in the top one, to have played the game.

I think we all have a tendency to believe that the greatest player of all time was the great player of our youth. A bit like Dr Who.

William Hartnell and Pele for me. But it's entirely subjective.

What position did William play?

He was from another time. But from what I recall he was a good operator in the the box.

Not only from another time, he was just out of this world.

Maradona was an absolute artist. Was he without flaws? No. But, he was by most people's estimations one of the top two or three ever to play the game.

I suggest you never saw Pele. Or Puskas.
