I have to confess I've man-loved this little guy for the past ten to eleven years. He is quite simply, the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). He is the only reason I watch Spanish Football and he makes me smile like an idiot whenever I watch him play. It's just a pure joy.

Wonderful wonderful player but the GOAT is Pele. He was the star of several World Cups and part of the greatest team to ever win a World Cup (1970 Mexico). Unfortunately most folk have never had the privilege of watching Pele play and the television of the 1950's, 1960s and early 1970s does not do him justice.
Modern day television and they way matches and players are presented means players of previous generations are often overlooked.
