50 Greatest Footballers to have ever existed

Picking the best footballers to have ever played the game and ranking them in order of a list is a pretty unenvious task that many certainly would not fancy doing.

Of course, the list will be littered with a plethora of names spawning a number of decades; essentially making it incredibly difficult to pick just who might go into the list and where they deserve to be.

Naturally, modern footballers such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo would have to be considered in the list of the greatest footballers ever, whilst other names that many might see when looking for the livescore could well appear on the list as well.

Furthermore, there have a been a number of players to have left impressions on many with their skills on the pitch and with a ball, such as the likes of Diego Maradona, Pele, Ferenc Puskas, Franz Beckenbauer and Alfredo Di Stefano to name just a few.

However, FourFourTwo have decided to do all the hard work and provide everyone with their definitive list of the 50 best footballers of all time, which has included some controversial talking points.

For instance, the number one player they chose to sit at the top of the list was Diego Maradona. Of course, the recently deceased legend was one of the greatest to ever play the game, but with this list being so subjective, many are going to argue that there were players greater than him.

However, the creators argue their point well, by highlighting his performances in the 1986 FIFA World Cup as he helped Argentina to win the tournament.
