Today’s sad news has got me thinking, who truly is the GOAT? There are loads of players you could consider like Best, Zidane, Eusebio and many more but I’ve narrowed it to 4 for ease.

Pele - his record speaks for itself.

Maradona - the hand of god.

Messi - some of his skills have been simply mesmerising.

Ronaldo - became the worlds superstar, was then eclipsed by Messi for some years, kept going and then years later became the worlds number 1 again. Has gOT better with age.

Vote for your choice and say what makes them the GOAT.

Despite me hating him as a 16 year as I’m sure many other England fans did that day, despite his failed drug tests, complete meltdowns and mafia associations, he was genius with the ball. Like George Best, he couldn’t cope with the fame and success that came with his talents.

He took a very average team that hadn’t achieved anything in Napoli and turned them into champions. He took an average country and turned them into world champions. I’ve never witnessed any player have the effect he had both on and off the pitch.
