Also wouldn't have Ronaldinho close to my top ten. Wonderfully entertaining player but nowhere near the levels of performance of the others.

A YouTube player.

Disagree, he is right in there. Just as CR7 is a prime athlete and fellow GOAT contender Messi is a wee runty guy it is a good juxtaposition that there are many ways to be considered amongst the best. Ronaldinho brought absurd levels of vision, absurdity and creativity to the beautiful game. It is why we need to bomb out anyone using stats to justify greatness and use eyes instead, whatever the player or position. It’s like shopping for a new house - you may not be able to describe it but you will know when you see it.

Interesting analogy

We went to see a house that fitted everything we wanted but we left feeling meh. Seen the house we bought which didn't fit every bracket but just gave us that feeling.

I get that watching Maradona, Zidane and R9 but I don't with Messi. Messi on paper hits everything but I never went out my way to watch him.

Messi probubbly is the ‘gratest’ butt is not particularly exciting

I'd be willing to accept him in a list of most entertaining, I just don't think he had the consistency or impact in the key moments like many others did.

Yeah interesting - I see folk shout for Drogba solely because he did it in big moments.

Ruud Gullit deserves a mention. Top class player that could play almost anywhere on the pitch. Another one that seems to get overlooked in modern day conversations though.

I vote Magnum.
