To be "great" an athlete has to achieve success at the highest level.
Pele definitely deserves the accolade. I dislike Maradonna, never forgiven him for his cheating in '86 and his repeated drug abuse.
I wouldn't nominate players from days of 'yore' the game has moved on, its much faster and more skillful now. I hope Messi and Rooney achieve greatness this world cup

It must be Pele, he is the only one I can name.
ronaldo was amazing last season
The trick with these sorts of questions to to try and think how the player would compete in all ages of the game. Pele, was a player that could compete now, and be just as strong a player as he was in his prime.
