I suppose it was always going to be Pele - but I'd still rather be voting for Bobby Moore - clear illustration of Brumbers integrity that he hasn't rigged this battle

Has to be Ronaldo.
Had he not been injured, he'd be remembered as the greatest footballer there's ever been. Instead, he will have to settle for being the best of his generation. In my opinion, there has been no greater striker to grace a football pitch. He had everything - pace, power, finishing ability, and all the tricks players like Ronaldinho and Cristiano Ronaldo later were to become famous for.
Sadly, his injuries he suffered in Italy, as well as how he finished at Real have in my opinion made people forget just how ****ing good Ronaldo was in his prime. He was scarily good.
Plus, he can still allegedly maintain wood, which is another blemish on Pele.

Yours was a fluke.****ing joke. Bunch of jealous Anglo-hating ****s the lot of ya. Not got a World Cup between you, piss off
Anyways, can anyone remember it? Loved the Carlsberg(?) ad in England with all the past heroes egging on your blokes. How they found 30 seconds' worth of Pommie sporting heroes to fill it is beyond me.
Though tbf one of the blokes in it is a darts player ffs
Edit: having said that, would have voted for Moore.
Pele will win this and gets my vote. But Ronaldo was a gun.
Moore deserves more (pun intended) credit though.

Can't understand how people are saying Moore isn't getting enough credit, given that he's now received three votes for a battle he's not even involved in.

Wow big surprise, TBH was as inevitable as Bradman winning a batsman comp.
Yet deserving winner, Maradona a cheat and Ronaldo was third best Brazilian in 02, IMHO, of course. Wouldn't of minded Zidane in the final if you had to go for a tiresome modern player.
Thanks for running it Brumbers

IMO, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho woz better, it's a game of opinions as they say

Not that an outlandish call, really. Everyone remembers the play acting now, but Rivaldo was Brazil's top boy (MHO, obv) and Ronaldinho was arguably more effective than his tubbier namesake too.
EDIT Or what grecian said.
