I have cried twice in my life watching a football player; the first one was Maradona and the second was Ryan Giggs.

Alessandro Del Piero

Rooney is one of the best players in the world and I love watching him play. But if you had to pick out only one, then for their history and for all that they have achieved it would have to be Paul Scholes or Ryan Giggs. They are two shining examples for any player.

Andres Iniesta

I find it embarrassing when people compare me to Maradona. How can they? There is only one Maradona. People who say this just have no idea, they don't know what they are talking about. Diego was a complete one-off who will never have an equal on the football pitch. No-one, I repeat no-one, could have transformed teams like he did. Maradona was the world's greatest-ever player while I'm just an apprentice.

Sergio Aguero

I think Cristiano and Lionel Messi are two of the best players in the history of the game. Are they better than Pele or Diego Maradona? They are at the top, but I think it is difficult in football to say who is first or second or third.

My earliest memories of football were watching and being taught about the legends. Hearing about the likes of Diego Maradona and Pele and watching them on VHS tapes.

Ryan Giggs and David Beckham were the two players I've always looked up to.

Jordan Henderson

He has been named as the heir apparent of the great Argentine hero, Diego Maradona, by journalists, players, and Maradona himself, alike. I'd personally put him in a drawer of my bedside table.

Franz Beckenbauer

Ryan Giggs is an idol - I don't think there's any other words for him. What he achieved at Manchester United, and what he achieved in football, is unparalleled.

Kasper Schmeichel

There's no way Ryan Giggs is another George Best. He's another Ryan Giggs

Maradona and Messi played in different times and in different positions. Messi is much more a striker, Diego was all over the entire pitch. They are two extraordinary players.
