    How can you not include Schmeichel as a goalie in one of those teams?

    For me Maradona. Were they both to compete against each other at their peak the Messi superior fitness would out. For sheer skill and being at the very least one level above his peers I choose Maradona

    I swear I am being sincere. Seen him mentioned as 'one of the greatest' but never 'the greatest'. I've only ever seen that (regularly) for the guys I've included in the poll.

    He'd probably make team 7, think id opt for Buffon in team 6.

    Buffon
    Desailly
    McGrain R.Koeman Schnellinger
    Overath Masopust
    Johnstone Meazza Best
    Muller

    Good teams agree with all the players except Busquets as I think there have quite a few better players over the years.

    That's not a bad team mate, but the question is, could they cut it in the SPFL, midweek on a rainy night at New Douglas Park ?

    Put the same poll on any football forum and I'd guess that Messi would win.

    I know it's all an opinion mate, but come on, you mention Zidane and Ronaldo.

    As a player he won the following:
    Ajax[8]
    Barcelona[8]
    Feyenoord

    Individual

    Player[8] [​IMG]


    Cruyff receiving the 1971 Ballon d'Or

    Maradonna all day long. Diego would have smashed all sorts of records if he was with barca from start to finish in this era. He was kicked lumps out of nearly every match. Also Lionel messi would not have had the same impact as maradonna if he played out his career. There is no way messi would have won Napoli the titles they won or argentina.
