I don't have a top 10 per se. I thought long & hard about this & decided on something that doesn't exist any more...what was once called a "Serie A 11." In those days, international "challenge" matches between teams comprised of national & non national players from the leagues of competing countries took place. I purposely chose players (with 1 exception) from no further back than1990 (when sadly these games came to an end) so that at least some of you would actually remember the players as being more than just names...& note also the typically older Italian formation, 1-3-3-1-2!

Read my post well before you talk, Zidane is in there.
And read what I said in the begining. I've been watching club football religiously since 1998 and Int'l football since 1994.
From what I have seen that is my list. Di Stefano? Puskas? I'm not gonna pretend I know shit about football after just basing my opinions on what other people have said. I'm sure u were a huge Di Stefano follower back in his day.
You're not happy with Batistuta being on the list??? Shows how much you know. I've based my list on the last decade and the very few documentaries I've seen and Bati has been one of the players who have stood out.

here's where your wrong , the videos just show the best goals of the player . maybe the best assists too and can be compiled in 4 mins .
now here's an example : who would know more about del piero's ability someone who has seen some of his compilations and best goals , or a lifelong fan that has seen almost every game he played ?
see , you have only seen pele sumarized , but have you seen his flaws ? do you know for sure that he's a team player ? ..etc
thats why you need to see many games to rate a player .

thats why for me maradona and pele shouldnt even be closely compared because maradona has performed everywhere he has been, the fact that he turned napoli around speaks for itself, people moan about his hand of god or his drug addiction or his weight problem, but its a damn sight better still than advertising errection problems like pele does these days
