This is too hard. So many great players here. Even though I still think there are also so many other great players that are unlisted like the great Gre-No-Li, Giuseppe Meazza, Emilio Butragueño, Garrincha, Bobby Moore, Lev Yashin, Mario Kempes, Paolo Rossi, Uwe Seeler, and many other. But of course, if you put all the great players name, the page wont be enough.  So, good job man.

  Sad to say but David Beckham should not be on this list. Other than that I really like some of the names on here. It took a lot of thinking and I agree with Mr Jayesh it should be top 20.

  David Beckham, Edgar Davids and Michael Ballack shouldn't have been here. I really feel that this is unfair for the legends who aren't there in the list, especially the best of all Europe, Duncan Edwards. But among the rest, these are the lucky names. Surely, it should have been the top 20 or so; there are so many more I would have liked to enter.

 Firstly I would say this was a fantastic poll. As this world is full of great players from different continents but my choice of top 10 players are based on contribution or impact as players and also what are his contributions after his retirement. Secondly, a lot players don't belong to called greatest players on earth. Some of them only excel in domestic league but as international players their contribution was limited. Beckham, Veron, Kluivert etc

 Wow I want them all on my team, what a dazzling array of supreme soccer talent. Way to hard to narrow it down to 10.  A top 20 or 25 might and I mean might be an easier task.

That was fun though

Thanks for the reminders as I had forgotten some of them.

 I can't really compare all of them for top 10.....

#26 | 1286 days ago

 George best is best player......... in world..
he has 90% accuracy to shot into goal.........
i m the big fan of him.......

1. Bobby Charlton   2. Ronaldinho  3. George Best   4. Carlos Alberto   5. Roy Keane  6. Javier Zanetti  7. Alessandro Del Piero  8. Roberto Carlos  9. Andriy Shevchenko  10. Abédi Pelé   

#27 | 1279 days ago

 All of them deserve our respect, no doubt about that. But WE, from BRAZIL, used to have players that played for the love of the game, not just trying to be famous or get rich. Pele has never been a love player.
BTW. i missed the best of the best of ALL TIMES: Manoel Garrincha.

#29 | 1250 days ago

  Pele is above all the rated number tens, listed by me, so he is someone very special, can not be in the number game, and so also the great  Garrincha,George Best.
It was tough to get the ten of  best, as  all are the best in their own skills of the game.
