    One of the most naturally gifted dribblers of all time. His close control, balance and agility was similar to Maradona, messi and baggio.

      I agree with everything you said, but not Baggio. He's nowhere near in those players you named bracket... Even in Baggio era. Stojkovic was a superior dribbler to him.

    There were some hard sliding tackles coming in at him, as well as plenty of other strong physical attempts to stop him. No comparison to these days where at the least touch, the player goes down and you'd think they were maimed. Not to mention having to control the ball on pitches as churned up as a building site. Yet Best still moved balletically, and was strong in shrugging off whatever they threw at him. His talent was astonishing. Still is.

      Lol. Most of these players these days don't even have the skills , technique.
      Full of Robots and athletic players . Like Mbappe , Foden etc are being considered the future of football shows how the top level talent has declined
      Back in 90s 80s there were way way more technical players , skillful players than these robots we see these days since 2010s. Players don't even play for the joy , skillful or even have that level of technique
      Thats why robots like Salah , KDB etc gets best in the world shout.
      There is no this or that times player
      Infact top Players back then in older eras >>> robots now just pressing and without individuality , magic etc (bar a few)
      60s - Pele , Eusebio , Best, Garrincha , Sivori , Rivera etc so many technically astute players
      70s - Cruyff , Becekenbaeur , Rivellino , Jairzinho etc
      80s - Maradona , Platini, Zico , Francescoli , valderamma , falcao , Basten , gullit etc
      90s - Ronaldo , Romario , Zidane , Rivaldo , Totti, Del Piero etc
      where are the players now other than messi and Neymar? Cr7 is a eyesore , robotic footballer. This is the generation of robots

    I was lucky enough to have a drink with him at his nightclub in London. As a footballer, look at the speed, the balance, the awareness. Look at the state of the pitches and the fact that kicking and body-checking opponents was okay back then. Good though they are, Messi and Ronaldo aren't on the same level as George was. Maradona may have come close, but for me, Bestie is the greatest player who ever lived.

      No no true - Best was exceptional but those pitches also helped him as defenders struggled to get their footing and could not turn quickly and some of the defending in the footage - if not all of it, is just total rubbish, nothing like what Messi and Maradona faced/face. Best never faced defenders with the bullish talent of those today nor the sophistication of modern defensive systems - not even close. The game has evolved with the benefits of technology so every weakness can be exposed and disected in minute detail. Best was a great of his era and extremely gifted but also a drunk dickhead off the field who wasted his talent in a bottle.

    What never changes over time are the gifts incredible footballers share:
    1. Acute spacial awareness. The ability to know instinctively the best place for the ball to be at any given time in relation to you, your team mates and the opposition.
    2. The ability to kick/touch the ball so that it does exactly what you want it to do, whether that be control, passing, dribbling or tricks.
    3. The ability to react more quickly/predict what the opposition will do based on what the ball does.
    4. Speed.
    Everyone can learn these skills, it's just that incredibly gifted footballers learn them far more quickly than anyone else.
