He was Napoli. I never understood why he went there until his habit was exposed. What a player, and against some of the hardest defenders and roughhousing by the Italian players.
For me, and this is totally in my own opinion, he was the greatest ever player in football, bar none.
It’s actually used to enforce that it is my opinion and not a claim of fact. Thanks all the same, Im really grateful for your tip, or should I have left the last bit out, as I already said thanks, therefore expressed my gratitude?You just said "for me " so that part is redundant.

Watch it mate you will have the Messi/Ronaldo police on you any second,happen to agree with you!He was Napoli. I never understood why he went there until his habit was exposed. What a player, and against some of the hardest defenders and roughhousing by the Italian players.

I know Carlos, and I am a massive Ronaldo fan, but he couldn’t handle the kickings Diego did.Watch it mate you will have the Messi/Ronaldo police on you any second,happen to agree with you!
agree its got to stage on here when the usual "greatest player in the world ever"post comes on i just ignore it! far better to put it as player of a decade!I know Carlos, and I am a massive Ronaldo fan, but he couldn’t handle the kickings Diego did.
It is very emotive and age dependant. I always thought Pele found great space on the pitch, where as Diego done it at close quarters, the original Ronaldo was electric and ice cold in front of goal, Romario was deadly, Cruyff was class, he had an aura about him, as if he played in 70 seconds per minute reality, never rushed but always lighting sharp. Then there are this generation of Messi and Ronaldo, both unplayable at times, but both play in an era of protection by refs, and the goalie having to play the ball with his foot from a back pass.agree its got to stage on here when the usual "greatest player in the world ever"post comes on i just ignore it! far better to put it as player of a decade!
yes feel the same pele was genius as cruyff,i do remember watching the real madrid side with di stefano for me being one of the most unsung players of the 60's could go on as yourself requelme van basten etc but pele i will remember for his quick thinking,and 2 misses he had,both against myiryzcovich(spelling)uruguayan keeper 1970 world cup,first he hit it from the half way line and just narrowly missed,and the one he dummied him running into the box only to see his shot ,miss by a few inches aaah breathtaking for an 18 yearold as iwas then!then again that brazilian side had another player never mentioned cloadaldo(spelling?)unbelievable player!It is very emotive and age dependant.
