Who would you pick for your pub side?

Assuming of course that they are both at their peak.

Diego, if he promised to behave himself.

I would not want to share a communal bath with Pele afterwards, assuming he is a viagra user...:eek:

In London village.
if it's based on football ability then Pele. If it's based on the free supply of class A's then Dirty Diago.

Maradona, every single time. He's won the World Cup and Italian leagues on his own, so the KFC Kickabouts in League 14 shouldn't be a problem.

wherever the money is
Would have to be Diego for a pub team as you can have the best striker in the world and never get the ball to him but a creaive midfielder will get the ball and if not score himself then he will set someone else up.

Tsk, I don't huff about polls but I do think that Maradona is losing out because of THAT handball, rather than because Pele was better. Whereas, in fact, Maradona was better. :bounce:

Pele, but only because I'm a similar sort of player to Maradona so there wouldn't be a position for him in my team.

Pele was a good player in an amazing team. Maradona was a great player and is by far better than Pele.

Having watched them all, you cannot have a poll like this without including George Best....He just makes the both of them look average.

Exactly. Bitter bastards. It was 20 years ago for fucks sake.

Maradona is the best ever.

Maradona.
Hard to judge, really, from the less I've seen of Pele, but he seemed to add - albeit brilliantly - to teams already gilded with the likes of Garrincha or Rivelino.
Maradona was under more pressure to haul his side up using the strength of his stumpy legs, a swivel and a shrug, and the glue which stuck the ball to that left foot whensoever he felt like it...

Indeed, that and the off the field stuff.
But he is/was the better player, the best ever.
