Ronaldo Fenomeno
Sadly injuries cut short he's careering but there's no doubt he was an amazing playerbat so young. Setting q world record fees before he's 21st birthday. He had it all Power,Flair and Pace. He still is the youngest player to have won the Ballon D'or winning 2X.

Johan Cruyff
The most influential figure in football, Cruyff was the epitome with the term "Total Football" Implementing it in Ajax, Barcelona and the Netherlands. Cruyff was technically gifted but was overshadowed by he's intelligence of the game. Cruyff won the Ballon D'or 3X

Diego Armando Maradona
Maradona was blessed with god given talent as he inspired individual brilliance with a ball at he's feet. He was a star revered as one of the all time greats helping a Napoli side win their two Italian titles as well as inspiring Argentina to a WC Victory.

Pele
At 17 he was arguably the best footvaller in the world, maintaining that reputation for atleast another 12 years. Pele was blessed as he was technically gifted, being a menace in the air and cold infront of goal. He way way ahead of his time. Winning the WC an amazing 3x.

Lionel Messi
Messi being regarded as the best ever is hard to argue against. He has it all, Dribbling, Passing, Finishing. Not only is he prolific infront of goal but he's creativity in games is mesmerising he has been consistently up there for 15+ yrs, winning 6 Ballon D'ors.
