Henry while he was great, is very overrated Busquets is arguably the best holding midfielder ever and well he`s club and international accomplishments certainly gives him as a strong case for that.
People think 100 footballers is a lot and should be easy to get on the list, but when you think how long football has gone for and how many legends there have been in each decade, 100 footballers is a really small number and is tougher to get in than you think. So instead of being annoyed that your favourite childhood footballers are somewhere between the 100-60 spot, you should be thrilled that your favourite footballers are even mentioned!
henrik larsson was better, and there may well be others i havent heard of who may have been 100x better, say in the team which got to the world cup final in the 50s, idk.
I love your videos and I love the idea of this one but based on your criteria, I think Gerd muller and Zinedine Zidane should have made the top 20 any day! And Beckenbauer possible a bit higher too. Great video though, absolute joy.
Agreed, bad hair Ronaldo and Best are too high for me for their shorter careers. Id also have Cruyff a bit higher. Hard to debate between eras but Messi is the best ive seen
Gerd Müller was the best striker of his time. Absolutely lethal. You just had to get the ball somewhere near him in the box. Yes, a one trick pony but in terms of win contributions simply unmatched.
What most people seem to forget, is that Johan Cruyff was chosen Europe’s best footballer of the 20th Century! I. O. W. The best player in a 100 years. His influence on the game is still current today. No other player (the Pelé’s and Maradona’s, etc.) had such an impact on The Beautiful Game as he did. Johan, R. I. P.
You also have to keep in mind that European football dominated the popular narrative, since Western media had obvious vested interests in the occurrings of European football as opposed to those in the South American scene. Cruyff was definitely one of the best ever, and a brilliant mind, also possibly the greatest coach ever, but was nowhere close to as talented or objectively greater, in terms of the Big Game, as Maradona or Pele. Talent and greatness wise, they were miles ahead of Cruyff. No offense, good take though. Also, Pele played in an era before the Ballon D'or was awarded to non-Europeans too, and it's proprietors suggest he would have won the award 7 times, at a minimum, during his career. This, despite his primary fame coming from just the World Cup victories. Not his historic club career, too.
You must be joking... As I will say that johan was better then pele (considering they played in complete different times) peles impact on the game is in incomparable to any other footballer... he changed how the game was played and looked at entirely...
Roma Ronaldo pele played against taxi drivers,and he is called goat just because of that lie about 1200+goals,500+of that goals were scored while he was serving army or smthng,if messi counted his goals in young barca team he would have 1100+ goals
Huge respect to you for making this list, I’ve recently tried to make my own top 50 and I didn’t realise how hard it would be, let alone a top 100! I revisited this vid for help and I was blown away by your detail so well done
VB MUTT they are different types of players Pirlo was a playmaker and creator, whereas Busquets is a defensive pivot and controller. It’s quite hard to compare, and you could go either way.
TOP 10 1. Lionel Messi 48:02 2. Pele 45:46 3. Diego Maradona 45:05 4. Alfredo Di Stefano 44:21 5. Cristiano Ronaldo 43:18 6. Johan Cruyff 42:43 7. Ronaldo Fenomeno 42:05 8. Franz Beckenbauer 41:25 9. Ferenc Puskas 40:44 10. Michel Platini 40:11
I think FIFA haven't yet made an icon card for Alfredo di Stefano and Franz Beckenbauer because they haven't yet figured out which position to give them.
@@vb2388 Zidane consistent lol Guy made his career off of big moments in International fixtures. He had one league title in 6 years playing in the most expensive squad assembled at the time. He was the opposite of consistent and a moment's player.

@@JonasFilberg morata isn't shit either I'd say. It's just to me giroud is always that hot mofo that doesn't score(even if he does a lot of other things but for the bants) lol
at the peak of his powers at Arsenal, yes, Thierry Henry was extraordinary. but the list is ranked by multiple criteria, key of which is longevity, and consistency across their career. Henry was mediocre at Monaco, poor at Juventus, and at the age of 22 when he signed for Arsenal, his first two seasons were little better than the season Tammy Abraham just managed, albeit he clearly had more ability., he just hadn't found his end product yet. the next five seasons... were utterly extraordinary. between 2001 and 2006, Henry was the most lethal forward in football. if the decision was made solely on that peak period, he would be in the top 20. his final season at Arsenal and his time at Barcelona were a significant downgrade, obviously still an immensely technically skilled player, but he didn't even manage a 50% goal-rate in his time in Catalonia and even dropping down to the MLS he couldn't recapture his previous goalscoring form. of his 360 career goals: 166 were scored in 242 games across the space of those 5 seasons. an average of 0.68 goals per game, and of 33 goals a season. the other 194 were scored in 550 games across 16 seasons, an average of 0.35 goals per game and 12.1 goals a season so it is somewhat justified.
What can you expect from a player who went to MLS at 32? You should be grateful that he is among the top 100 and more if you consider his position has tons of tons of great players (Ronaldo, Pele, Puskas, Eusebio, Gerd Muller, van Basten, Romario and many more)

I don't even think that would be enough. People will get angry anyways ;) I really think this is a great list - even though I disagree with some of the choices. I would place Beckenbauer a lot higher and generally move some of the defenders a bit up in the list. And Zidane especially! He would be in my top 15. But if I had the right to remove one player and include another one, I would include Zlatan and remove Busquets.

yeah, pretty biased rankings,. especially with messi being #1 (in front of maradona or cruyff). Oh well, not much you can do with these rankings anyway. They're only for fun
zlatan must be on the list, he has been one of the best from 2005 and has never stopped scoring goals even though he plays in different leagues, he is the most productive player in the 21st century after messi and ronaldo, he is ranked 11th goal scorer most of all time, I think zlatan can enter the top 30 and even the top 20
Um! The guy's a legend in his own (ginormous) head, thinking he's the most accomplished Swedish sportsman! Rightly, many didn't agree - Bjorn Borg won 5 Wimbledons in a row (and six French Opens). Zlatan doesn't even have ONE Champions League!
I agree- people don’t like to rate zlatan because of his outspoken personality. But people forget he’s probably the most consistent forward the game has ever seen. The guy pretty much carried AC Milan to their first Title in years at the age of 40. That to me, is far more impressive than winning a champions league surrounded by world class players. Zlatan is probably the 3rd best attacker of the messi and Ronaldo era and he’s one of the best players to never have a ballon dor. In my list he’s definitely top 20.
@@YummoWickershamjust at number 9 during his career je was outclassed by other strikers with more longevity and better careers overall: Lewandowski, Suarez, Benzema... I agree he had great longevity... But not at the very top level. He was not able to adapt to the great Barcelona of Guardiola, he then went back to Italy when the Serie A was in decline, he then went to PSG where he was the best player in a ligue 1 that was far from the Bundesliga, Liga and PL (and he disappointed in the Champions League un big games)... then he went to MLS and a struggling United. In Milan he showed incredible longevity... But still not at the highest level in World football. In the meantime Lewandowski, Benzema and Suarez consistently kept their seats and were among the best players in world class teams winning more impressive trophees. Zlatan was never on the ballon d'or Podium (and rightly so).
Lothar M was the type of player who was only fully appreciated when he wasn’t in the team. He was the heart and head of every side he played in. Touch, vision, and physical presence. The best reader of a game that I’ve witnessed in 40 years of watching football. “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” is the best way to summarise the maestro. Oh yeah, I’m English.
Agreed, he might be dumb as a bag of hammers but he was fantastic on the pitch. He might also hold the world record in marriages with the same type of woman at the same age at the time of marriage.
Owen Modracek your last name sounds czech? I am also second generation Czech. But that’s not the point. The Czech league was alright in the 60s. But the Brazilian league was definitely the best league at the time. It was like the premier league or la liga. And him playing in America was just to spread football to a big market he was old then anyways.
I just want you to know that i appreciate the time and effort and will to make this list. I've learnt so much about players of the beautiful game who dont get enough love. I appreciate the Romario love
Unless he's 100 years old he's not remembering these players, he's searching their names up on wiki for 2 mins then saying they are top 100, this guy clearly knows nothing
@@joaovictor20101 yeah. He’s not as well remembered because Ronaldinho was an out and out entertainer, but in terms of being able to drag his team to victory (the goal of football) Laudrup was better than Ronaldinho
I didn't see the Hungarian star Gyorgy Sarosi, he should have definitely made the list, taking into consideration you put some players from the pre-war era (props to you, many people disregard those players). Sarosi was one of the most complete players ever, he could play in all the outfield positions on the field, and was an able goalscorer too (he famously scored 7 goals against a strong Czechoslovakia once I think), and led Hungary to their first ever World Cup final in 1938, when they ultimately lost to Italy. Sarosi scored in each one of the games in the campaign. He was, without a doubt, the best player in the world in the late 1930s. Generally a very good list, I think it shows a lot of football knowledge and doesn't disrespect older eras as I said earlier. Apart from Sarosi, who I think it's criminal not to put him there, I would put some honorable mentions who could have possibly made the cut in my opinion: Gyorgy Orth(another Hungarian from the 20s, maybe the epitome of completeness), Mario Kempes, Gabriel Batistuta, Andreas Brehme, Roberto Carlos, Paulo Roberto Falcao, Philipp Lahm, Steven Gerrard, Paul Breitner, Teofilo Cubillas, Hugo Sanchez, Manuel Neuer. I would add Neymar Jr and Robert Lewandowski as well, but concerning that you made this video some years ago it's fully understandable, but if you made it today they deserve at least a mention, alongside Kylian Mbappe of course. I can see some players that I personally would have put them outside the top 100 (if I created a top 150 probably everyone from your list would be there), but as I mentioned before a very interesting list overall.

It’s very interesting but not really accurate lol. It’s very nostalgia bias. He’s putting footballers who played against part time farmers ahead of players who’ve dominated on the world stage in front of millions. Football has changed, and pre 80s footballers just aren’t that good in the grand scheme of it
@@YummoWickersham Advanced Pressing was developed in the 70s, the first false 9 was employed in the 30s, the bicycle kick has been around since at least the 40s. Football has been a professional sport in the top flight since the 1880s. no professional footballer since then had to rely on other jobs to sustain themselves because football was enough of a full time job on its own.
I came back to this comment as I told my friends there were 4 portuguese players in this list and they easily said Ronaldo, Eusebio and Figo. Then after some time thinking they gave answers such as Rui Costa or Deco for the 4th one. When I said Coluna they gave me funny faces. Even my dad gave me funny faces. Fast forward some weeks, I told my grandfather about the list and said "There are 4 Portuguese Players, try and guess", and he replied "Ronaldo..." and so I said, "Yeah the first three are easy, it's Ronaldo, Eusebio and F-" and he interrupted me with "Coluna..." as I said "You ruined the whole charade but thankfully you gave reason to the choice". He added that Coluna was the one that "lead the whole team", talking about the 60's Benfica
For the love of god, i can't understand why we continue to compare players from totally different periods of time. These comparisons should only be limited to certain decades. For example, Pele was the best in the 60's, Cruyff was the best in the 70's, Maradona in the 80's, Ronaldo in the 90'- early 2000's, Messi from late 2000's to late 2010's. I'm pretty sure Puskas would have struggled to play even 70 min of football in these days, or even in the 90's, considering the fact that he had the fitness condition of a middle aged plumber. Also, i doubt Garrincha would have been able to play in the period after the 90's, considering he had a genetic problem that affected his legs. And the list could go on. At the same time, I doubt Messi, Ronaldo or Cristiano Ronaldo would have had the same impact if they played in 40's or 50's, when the game was so different.
Muktar Ismael ronaldo and messi would have like 2000+ goals if they didn’t suffer horrific injuries that is, from dirty ass challenges they used to use back in the day. Some sports the old school can compare to the modern era but not football. So much better athletes, way more technique, faster, stronger, more intelligent, better everything.
Yup... The fact that diving is almost a culture in todays football is an disadvantage to old footballers. Not to to mention tactical and the sport science advantage of modern day players

Roma Ronaldo pele played against taxi drivers,and he is called goat just because of that lie about 1200+goals,500+of that goals were scored while he was serving army or smthng,if messi counted his goals in young barca team he would have 1100+ goals

Huge respect to you for making this list, I’ve recently tried to make my own top 50 and I didn’t realise how hard it would be, let alone a top 100! I revisited this vid for help and I was blown away by your detail so well done
How is Sergio Busquets better than Thierry Henry?!
Elis Lundkvist Believable...since different postions but how is Busquets better than Pirlo?
Pirlo was a far better CDM player than Busquets..
Compare the same position man
VB MUTT they are different types of players
Pirlo was a playmaker and creator, whereas Busquets is a defensive pivot and controller. It’s quite hard to compare, and you could go either way.

Lol. Been looking for him too!!
Thierry Henry number 94 wowwwwww that’s disappointing
Henry deseved better
at the peak of his powers at Arsenal, yes, Thierry Henry was extraordinary.
but the list is ranked by multiple criteria, key of which is longevity, and consistency across their career.
Henry was mediocre at Monaco, poor at Juventus, and at the age of 22 when he signed for Arsenal, his first two seasons were little better than the season Tammy Abraham just managed, albeit he clearly had more ability., he just hadn't found his end product yet.
the next five seasons... were utterly extraordinary. between 2001 and 2006, Henry was the most lethal forward in football. if the decision was made solely on that peak period, he would be in the top 20.
his final season at Arsenal and his time at Barcelona were a significant downgrade, obviously still an immensely technically skilled player, but he didn't even manage a 50% goal-rate in his time in Catalonia
and even dropping down to the MLS he couldn't recapture his previous goalscoring form.
of his 360 career goals:
166 were scored in 242 games across the space of those 5 seasons. an average of 0.68 goals per game, and of 33 goals a season.
the other 194 were scored in 550 games across 16 seasons, an average of 0.35 goals per game and 12.1 goals a season
so it is somewhat justified.
What can you expect from a player who went to MLS at 32? You should be grateful that he is among the top 100 and more if you consider his position has tons of tons of great players (Ronaldo, Pele, Puskas, Eusebio, Gerd Muller, van Basten, Romario and many more)

I don't even think that would be enough. People will get angry anyways ;)
I really think this is a great list - even though I disagree with some of the choices. I would place Beckenbauer a lot higher and generally move some of the defenders a bit up in the list. And Zidane especially! He would be in my top 15.
But if I had the right to remove one player and include another one, I would include Zlatan and remove Busquets.

Who do you remove?
You can add anyone, but you have to find out someone to take out 😂
zlatan must be on the list, he has been one of the best from 2005 and has never stopped scoring goals even though he plays in different leagues, he is the most productive player in the 21st century after messi and ronaldo, he is ranked 11th goal scorer most of all time, I think zlatan can enter the top 30 and even the top 20
Um! The guy's a legend in his own (ginormous) head, thinking he's the most accomplished Swedish sportsman! Rightly, many didn't agree - Bjorn Borg won 5 Wimbledons in a row (and six French Opens). Zlatan doesn't even have ONE Champions League!
I agree- people don’t like to rate zlatan because of his outspoken personality. But people forget he’s probably the most consistent forward the game has ever seen. The guy pretty much carried AC Milan to their first Title in years at the age of 40. That to me, is far more impressive than winning a champions league surrounded by world class players. Zlatan is probably the 3rd best attacker of the messi and Ronaldo era and he’s one of the best players to never have a ballon dor. In my list he’s definitely top 20.
@@YummoWickershamjust at number 9 during his career je was outclassed by other strikers with more longevity and better careers overall: Lewandowski, Suarez, Benzema...
I agree he had great longevity... But not at the very top level. He was not able to adapt to the great Barcelona of Guardiola, he then went back to Italy when the Serie A was in decline, he then went to PSG where he was the best player in a ligue 1 that was far from the Bundesliga, Liga and PL (and he disappointed in the Champions League un big games)... then he went to MLS and a struggling United.
In Milan he showed incredible longevity... But still not at the highest level in World football.
In the meantime Lewandowski, Benzema and Suarez consistently kept their seats and were among the best players in world class teams winning more impressive trophees.
Zlatan was never on the ballon d'or Podium (and rightly so).
Lothar M was the type of player who was only fully appreciated when he wasn’t in the team. He was the heart and head of every side he played in. Touch, vision, and physical presence. The best reader of a game that I’ve witnessed in 40 years of watching football. “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” is the best way to summarise the maestro. Oh yeah, I’m English.

Oliver Kahn sucks. The most overrated goalkeeper ever, much worse than Pfaff, Casillas, Neuer, Buffon, Schmeichel, Cech, Toldo, Valdés or Maier

Roberto carlos isn't even in the top 100? Joseph Bican, the most prolific scorer of all time is in 90s?
Abha Agrawal Joseph Bican would struggle to score 10 a season in the Northern counties league if in his prime he was to play now.
Bro mans played in the czech league, atleast puskas played majority in spain lmfao
I dont understand that one to but maybe he want that hell of a player but i think over 800 goals is outstanding he should be higher.
Technically, Mario De Castro is the most prolific
Owen Modracek your last name sounds czech? I am also second generation Czech. But that’s not the point. The Czech league was alright in the 60s. But the Brazilian league was definitely the best league at the time. It was like the premier league or la liga. And him playing in America was just to spread football to a big market he was old then anyways.
I am surprised that Neuer isnt involved here, would definitely say he is one of the 6 best goalies of all time
So what is the order ? Of the top 6? Buffon and lev gashing better be there
I thought the same thing.
I agree. I'd say Yashin, Buffon, Zoff, Banks, Schmeichel, Neuer
Then Casillas, Maier, Van Der Sar, Kahn, Zamora and Shilton right behind
I would say Oliver Kahn is possibly a better out and out keeper than Neuer.

Fantastic video gents, thank you very much! Keep up the sterling reviews, HITC Sevens is by far my favourite RUclips channel.
Thanks Richard.
I didn't see the Hungarian star Gyorgy Sarosi, he should have definitely made the list, taking into consideration you put some players from the pre-war era (props to you, many people disregard those players). Sarosi was one of the most complete players ever, he could play in all the outfield positions on the field, and was an able goalscorer too (he famously scored 7 goals against a strong Czechoslovakia once I think), and led Hungary to their first ever World Cup final in 1938, when they ultimately lost to Italy. Sarosi scored in each one of the games in the campaign. He was, without a doubt, the best player in the world in the late 1930s.
Generally a very good list, I think it shows a lot of football knowledge and doesn't disrespect older eras as I said earlier. Apart from Sarosi, who I think it's criminal not to put him there, I would put some honorable mentions who could have possibly made the cut in my opinion:
Gyorgy Orth(another Hungarian from the 20s, maybe the epitome of completeness), Mario Kempes, Gabriel Batistuta, Andreas Brehme, Roberto Carlos, Paulo Roberto Falcao, Philipp Lahm, Steven Gerrard, Paul Breitner, Teofilo Cubillas, Hugo Sanchez, Manuel Neuer. I would add Neymar Jr and Robert Lewandowski as well, but concerning that you made this video some years ago it's fully understandable, but if you made it today they deserve at least a mention, alongside Kylian Mbappe of course. I can see some players that I personally would have put them outside the top 100 (if I created a top 150 probably everyone from your list would be there), but as I mentioned before a very interesting list overall.

I'm pretty sure Puskas would have struggled to play even 70 min of football in these days, or even in the 90's, considering the fact that he had the fitness condition of a middle aged plumber.
Also, i doubt Garrincha would have been able to play in the period after the 90's, considering he had a genetic problem that affected his legs. And the list could go on. At the same time, I doubt Messi, Ronaldo or Cristiano Ronaldo would have had the same impact if they played in 40's or 50's, when the game was so different.
This comment deserves so much more likes
Bogdan Cr compare every player from an era like you did and then you can see the Goats of any era but not the GOAT.
Muktar Ismael ronaldo and messi would have like 2000+ goals if they didn’t suffer horrific injuries that is, from dirty ass challenges they used to use back in the day. Some sports the old school can compare to the modern era but not football. So much better athletes, way more technique, faster, stronger, more intelligent, better everything.
@@germanischerkrieger6018 do you know what is GOAT? wdym when you say Greatest of all time of a particular era? THat is just illogical!
Yup... The fact that diving is almost a culture in todays football is an disadvantage to old footballers.
Not to to mention tactical and the sport science advantage of modern day players
If Kurt hamrin and Gunnar nordahl are on the list, I really think zlatan ibrahimovic should’ve been in the 100. If longevity is one of the criterias, then I think that it’s ridiculous that he isn’t in the 100
Pirlo > Ibrahimovic

Quality matters much more than longevity
Top 4 for me:

3) Cristiano Ronaldo

Mo S how have you put Neuer as the top three goalkeeper of all time
This is in my opinion the best video made by this channel , this list was so accurate and I extremely agree with the top 10 , although pelé is and will always be a legend , overall Messi is the greatest player of all time.

Though many can disagree, I myself have a couple, it is really impressive how much knowledge you have on the game and I think you had the top 8 pretty much spot on.

u fucking forgot Cruyff
1. Messi
2. Cruyff

5. Pelé/Ronaldinho (you just cant have a top 5 without Ronaldinho but you also cant have one without Pelé so I'm putting them both in😂)

1. Messi

A lot of the people who saw him play and who played with him said he was the greatest player they'd ever seen, and he was only 21. The world was stolen of England's and football's brightest talents and potential greatest player ever prematurely.

Warw. This is the greatest list of players I have ever witnessed. Even better than the video. I am amazed. Your 1990-1999 list is the only one in which I strongly disagree. I would definitely have included Peter Schmeichel.
And for the recent years I would have included Arjen Robben. When he wasn't injured he was the third greatest player in the world in the first half of the 2010s - only second to Messi and Ronaldo.
