Nobody I knew discussed pro football and it wasn't on the news or TV.

Actually I do remember seeing a few games on TV when I was really young but I didn't know any of the players or teams. The only team I can still remember seeing that far back was Lazio.

I had a discussion with one of my colleagues on our company forum. I said that Zidane is the best player throughout history, I know it's debatable but I simply rate him higher than Pelé and Maradona. Anyway, I ended the discussion when he said that Zidane is good but he is probably in the top 20 footballers.

Seriously now, how can you argue with a person who thinks Gordon Banks is a better footballer than Zidane?

It's debatable between him and Maradona... I'd choose Zidane because I've watched more of him during his entire career.

Gordon Banks? :lol: Probably not even one of the top 5 goalkeepers of all time.

Was this workmate of yours English by any chance? :shifty:

Zidane is definitely one of the best, but it's really hard comparing players across generations.

Maradona, Pele, Platini, Cruyff, Zidane, Garrinchia, Puskas, Eusebio, Di Stefano, Baggio, Baresi, and the list goes on. Any on those can lay claim to being the greatest ever.
