    Sadly, we don’t have much footage from those days, so here is the best footballer from every decade in the last 100 years.

    Great job! Excellent work! Learned a lot, especially before the 1950s. Have you read biographies of South American players like J: M. Moreno, Leonidas da Silva & A. Erico?
    It is a hard chore to pinpoint just one footballer for a decade. Sometimes some players' time overlaps. Take for example Pele. From 1958-1970 he was unmatched. Then he played for a couple of more years but was not at his peak. In the 60s,, He admired Best, called the fifth Beatle, who was very talented like Matthews but was not as consistent. At an early age, he won at the club level all the major trophies. Eusebio also appeared and fought for first place in his squad against Pele´s Santos. Beckenbauer was in the 1966 German Squad until 1974. Unfortunately, Cruyff appeared and became the top player for the first half of the decade displacing him but Franz won his two Ballon d'Or. Then came Kempes and in 1978, overshadowed him. His years in Spanish football were amazing and was a superstar. His professional and modest attitude was different from G. Best, Ronaldhino, or Maradona. Probably the reason why he is many times underrated. Kevin Keegan with 2 Ballon d'Or was the top player and competed for the first spot. Therefore neither Cruyff nor Backenbauer were number one at this point. At this same time, young Maradona just like Pele dazzled in Argentino Juniors in the last part of the 1970s. Furthermore, in 1979, he led the Argentine team to the junior world cup. When he went to Europe, the number one was Platini, and both became rivals, especially after the transfer to Italy. Until his third cup appearance in 1990, Maradona was undisputed in the 1980s especially in his early years at Napoli making this small team the top one in Serie A. Rud Gullut and Marco Van Basten both in Milan and the national dutch team out shadowed him at the end of the decade. Van Basten became one of the three players to win 3 Ballon d'Or. The third in 1992.
    Here is where it is more difficult to define a player for a complete decade. This is confirmed by the multiple players that had won the Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo is the top player in the second half of the decade but Zidane emerged in 1998 to become the number one. The brazilian still was at the top confirmed in 2002 winning the World Cup with Brazil and the Balon d'Or. In the early 1990s, we have Roberto Baggio (Ballon d'Or 1993), Hristo Stoichkov (Ballon d'Or 1994), and George Weah (Ballon d'Or 1995).
    The last year before Messi-Ronaldo took the lead is 2007 with Kaka. So to say that the complete decade belongs to Zidane is not exact. He had Rivaldo, Figo, Ronaldo, Ronaldhino, and Kaka as his contemporaries at the same level or depending on the year, ahead of him. He could have been crowned in 2006, especially for his performance at the world cup (parallel was Modric).
    This year, after the world cup, there is no doubt that Messi is superior to Ronaldo but no one can deny that they have owned these last 15 years. They cover a decade and a half! Much more than expected
    With all of this in mind, although it is convenient to classify by decade, it will cost you precision and truthfulness.

    I love the fact that you had Messi and Ronaldo together. We can argue about who is better between the two, but the fact is, there is no separating the two in terms of their standing in the game and that is why they are so great. Never have we seen two of the best footballers ever compete like these two in the same era. Never. And we will probably never see it again either

    I really like the ranking. I think it is pretty accurate. The only thing I would disagree is that Cruyff is the player of the 1970s. Of course, he was legendary. His impact on the game is huge. But his legacy for modernising the game did also come from his achievements in coaching. He was a superb coach. If we are talking about players, I would go with Franz Beckenbauer. He is the only defender in history to win the Ballon D`or twice. Therefore he is widely regarded as the greatest defensive player of all time.
    Nevertheless you did a good job with the list.
