With the passing of Diego Maradonna, it got me thinking... in some cultures, it's very clear who their top 2 or top 3 players of all time would be but I'm 33 and in my generation, I don't think I've seen anyone that was that is clear of the rest.
Maybe you could say Wayne Rooney, or Gareth Bale. I did think of Scholes but outside of United, I don't see many people having him as their GOAT.
Please do not try and separate it by playing position. Just give me your GOAT or your top 2 for debate.

Who is the British GOAT?

Goes to show how poor British football is when there’s no clear winner. However I think just by the highlights and the way people talk, it has to George Best. Shame he was born early and he played in the 50’s and not let’s say the 80’s. But a young Rooney had all the potential to have that claim as well.
Wilshere could’ve been another...gone to soon

Best is a clear a winner as any nationality.
Brazil - Pele is pretty well the GOAT
Argentina - Messi, Maradona and Di-Stefano
France - Platini and Zidane
Italy - Maldini, Baggio, Baresi
Germany - Beckanbauer , Mattheus, Muller
Holland - Cruyff is again a clearish winner
Spain - Xavi, Iniesta, plus a few more are close

Scholes is a cheat as he once punched the ball into the gol n did not demand the ref disallow it.
This negate everything good about him.

Guess that wipes out Maradona from the list immediately then.

I would say it has to be goalkeeper. Britain has had some absolutely outstanding goalkeepers in its history, and it has been a position that the British best is right up there with the world’s best goalkeepers.
In no particular order...
Swift
Banks
Jennings
Shilton
Hibbs
Clemence
Southall
Seaman
