My old man told me the best player he ever saw was Tom Finney ( and he was at Hampden to see Real beat Eintracht 7-3 ). I suppose it depends on eras and nationality. Was Pele better than Maradona? Or vice versa? And why only strikers or goal scoring midfielders. What about the sheer brilliance of Franz Beckenbauer or the peerless Bobby Moore? Goalies - was Banks better than than Russian chap who’s name escapes me. Lev ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comparing different eras to identify 'the best of all time' is the subject of much pub talk, and I've done it a lot myself, but it's basically subjective and biased opinion. It's safe to say that Pele was one of the greatest players of his time, and has certainly become one of the most iconic players of all time.

Was Laver better than Federer? What knows with different eras with different racquets. My view? Both were peerless , they were champions of their time. Had they coincided I bet we’d have some great games. I think great sportsman know that unlike us mortals. For what it’s worth Laver for me , or Fed lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
