Maradona - Good
Pele - Great
George Best.
Saw all three of them play and Best would do that game after game in the days of defenders like Norman Hunter of Leeds, Nobby Stiles of Man U and Chopper Harris of Chelsea. Today's defenders are scared to do what half these guys did to stop a player dictating the game.
The only thing that stopped George Best getting the true acclaim he deserved was playing international football for Northern Ireland and drinking. But he was still the best player I've ever seen.
Would still love to see Messi play in the Premiership and see how he copes with the defenses there.
