Quite simply, Pele.

The greatest player to ever grace the game.

Yes. They are the best players of their generations from the last 40 years.

All great players, but not as good as the top 4.

Puskas and Di Stefano were from the early 50's

I rate Zidane and Maradona very highly but Pele was something else.

Two footed, balance, pace, acceleration, bravery, heading, (5"8!) he also looked after himself (unlike Maradona) and had a longer and more successful international career. To be honest for similar reasons I rate Zidane almost as highly. Maradona had the best left foot ever but no right foot at all.

Also for a player to stand out so badly from that 1970 team is bordering on the ridiculous.

Yes, but football has improved greatly in 40 years!

Pele was a great player, among relatively modest players. He only played in Brazil and never played aborad in the top european leagues.

Zidane and Maradona were kings among great players. Cruyff played at the top for 20 years!

There's no way you can say Puskas and DiStephano were from the 1950's, discount them & then call the poll the best player ever >:?.

Especially as their most famous game together was in the 60's when they scored 7 goals between them in a European Cup final.
