In my opinion, the best player of all time was without a doubt, Diego Armando Maradona, from Argentina.

Here is a picture of him...

Pele probably but also, George Best, Johan Cruff, Roberto Baggio, at the moment it would be Ronaldhinio i think thats how you spell it, he is amazing
 
Pele was a complete shaft though. Besty was the greatest player ever, but alot of his skill was just pissed away.

These days Henry, Lampard and Ronaldihnio (dude needs an easier spelt name!) do it for me as the worlds best.
 
This is the best player Suckas :

Hugo Sánchez played for the Mexico national football team in the 1975 Pan-American Games and the next year in the 1976 Summer Olympics. At the age of 18 and having already played over 80 international games, Sanchez signed as a youth player for UNAM Pumas. That year, UNAM managed to get its first championship in the Mexican Football League, and just two years later, he became top-scorer in the league, with 26 goals. During this time, Sanchez competed in Mexico during the fall, winter, and spring, but played in the United States for the San Diego Sockers in the summer.

After five successful seasons in Mexico, with 99 goals to his name, Sanchez drew the attention of several Spanish sides, and signed with Atletico de Madrid in 1981. It took him a while to find his feet in La Liga, but by the 1984-85 season he was scoring regularly with a team that won the Copa del Rey, finished in second place in the Spanish League and won the Spanish Super Copa. That year Hugo also won his first Pichichi trophy for being the most prolific scorer in the league.

At this point, he reached the high-point of his career, signing for Real Madrid in 1985 and playing with players such as Camacho, Butragueño, Gordillo, Valdano and Míchel. This team won five consecutive league titles (from 1985-86 to 1989-90), the Copa del Rey in 1989, and the UEFA Cup in 1986. During this time Sánchez garnered four consecutive Pichichi trophies.

Sanchez scored 38 goals in the 1989-90, tying the record of the great Zarra and giving him a European Golden Boot for best scorer in Europe.

His trademark was to perform a celebratory somersault after each goal he scored, honouring his sister, who was a gymnast and participated in the Montreal Olympics.

After this fantastically successful period, Sanchez returned to his native Mexico for a season, before playing for a variety of clubs in Spain, Austria and the USA (he played for the Dallas Burn in the inaugural year of Major League Soccer). He finished his career playing for Atlético Celaya with his old colleagues from Real Madrid, Butragueño and Míchel.

Sanchez was the only Mexican to feature in Pele's 125 Top Living Football Players List in March 2004.
