Cafu

Pele was the best of his era, Diego Maradona was the Pele of the Eighties, and Ronaldinho is the Pele of our time.

Cafu

Pele played in an era which had so many great players and in that atmosphere he stood out above the others. He was the complete player in every aspect as well as being a kind human being. Cristiano Ronaldo is young yet, and has many years ahead of himself. But as of now, I do not see anyone who can compare with Pele.

Eusebio

I have dreamed of Brazil all my life. As a child, I had videos of Brazil, of their World Cup wins, of Pele, and of all the big players.

Vincent Kompany

Now, they hold the World Cup every year, so it's like any Super Series. It's boring. To me, it's very boring. I think the players will always attend the World Cup. But for the fans, and also for most players, the Olympics and Asian Games will become more important. Nobody will look forward to the World Cup with anticipation.

Taufik Hidayat

The athlete of the century, he scored more than 1,000 goals, and won the World Cup three times. He was complete. I don't need to say anything more. Pele is Pele. No one can beat him.

Cafu

Human beings of today are more fragile, whereas people born in wartime, during the Second World War, eventually became the great players like Pele. They were fantastic players.

Alex Ferguson

The first World Cup I followed was Sweden 1958. I watched the games on TV. Brazil won that World Cup by defeating Sweden 5-2 in the Final and Pele scored twice.

Fabio Capello

Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.

Alex Ferguson

I think to compare any time you win a Stanley Cup would be unfair to all the players from all the teams.

Mark Messier

It's really incredible to be compared to a player like 'King Pele' who is the King of Football. But what I must think about is working hard and following my own pathway and not thinking about people who compare you to other players.

Kylian Mbappe

I played with great teammates like Ronaldinho and Messi. I think they are two of the greatest players in the history of football.

Giovani Dos Santos

Obviously, I wasn't born when Pele was playing at World Cups, but I have watched plenty of videos, both of him and other great players.

Danny Welbeck

Ronaldinho is a phenomenon, and so is Cafu! I am twice World champion and led Brazil to a World Cup triumph in 2002.

Cafu

I can't be compared to Pele. I need to do so much more to be compared to Pele. Pele is fantastic. And he's unique.

Neymar

The World Cup in 2010 is going to be the most inspirational thing ever to hit the streets in South Africa. For the first time, the World Cup won't just be something that is happening on the other side of the world think about the excitement-the biggest players, from all over the world, will be playing football in a stadium just round the corner from home.
