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

Cafu

I'm a Pele fan from way back when I was a kid, and then there was always this thing later about Pele and Maradona. I was young and impressionable as a kid but it was always Pele for me.

Alex Ferguson

Leo [Messi] is the best player of all time - better than Pele, Maradona or Cruyff. There have been some great teams in history - Pele's Brazil, Cruyff's Ajax, Sacchi's Milan - but in the past 20 years this Barcelona team is the best.

Xavi

Pele and Maradona won games but they had the help of their team-mates.

Pepe

Messi is the best player ever. And this is said by someone who has seen Maradona and Pele play.

Adriano Galliani

Messi has all the conditions to be the best, but first he has to beat Maradona, Romario and then eventually Pele.

Michel Patini

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

Maradona is among the best five players I've ever seen: Garrincha, Pele, Diego, Cruijff and Beckenbauer.

Zico

I never saw Pele, but I watched Maradona, for seven years I saw every game. He's not one of the best, he's the best.

Fabio Cannavaro

Pele revolutionized football. Pele stopped a war. Pele united countries, united families.

Cafu

For 20 years they have asked me the same question, who is the greatest? Pele or Maradona? I replay that all you have to do is look at the facts - how many goals did he score with his right foot or with his head?

Pele

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.

Raul

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

Pele doesn't die. Pele will never die. Pele is going to go on for ever.

Pele

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.

Bugzy Malone

Messi is undoubtedly a gifted footballer, like Maradona and Pele, and he's playing for the best club side in the world at the moment. He's successful and he's winning trophies, so it's only logical that he'll be voted the best player in the world.
