Also Messi just scored 5 goals in one Champions League match which has never been done before. In an era where the overall level is higher and less goals are scored in every game.
Puskas was a brilliant finisher, but people always talked about Di Stefano being the greatest player of that time (or so I've heard).
Maradona is the greatest footballer ever for me, but if Messi can perform in International football the way he does in club football, we could end up having a debate on our hands.
Also, if people want to mention goals per game, didn't Gerd Muller score 68 times in 62 Internationals, won the World Cup and European Championship.
Gerd Mullar definitely has the most impressive Goals to games ratio.
Top 5 most famous
1. David Beckham- everybody in India and China knows him since his gillette days.. Pinboy
2. Mike Tyson
3. Michael Schumacher
4. Ali
5. Maradona
top 5 greatest ever, different sports
1. Maradona
2. Michael Jordan
3. Ali
4. Federer
5. Major Dhyan Singh (hockey) I know you don't know him but it's worth googling him. What he achieved in his sport is unparalleled in any sport history
Duncan...(It's the goals per game in every season for the English top league. It has come down from just over 3 a game to just under 2.5 per game in the modern era, it's harder to score now than it was in the 50s/60s.)
It's hard to make comparrison on different era's, besides the fact of the English premier league has 45% foriegn players today compared to 5% back in the 50-60's so of course the nature of the game is going to change...
Duncan stop Messi with my head
5 greatest in different sports:
The Don
Ali
Nicklaus
Jordan
Gretsky
All legends in their own right GG but even young cricket lovers wouldn't know of the Don besides people from outside cricketing nations........I think we all agree with Ali as no one going by the votes...
So we are all in agreement that David Beckham is the greatest sportsman of all time? -
David Beckham... bah!!! bah!!!....Beckham my arise, wouldn't even be the greatest in his family
