Pele was the most complete player I've ever seen.
Bobby Moore
Image
Pele played in an era which had so many great players and in that atmosphere he stood out above the others. He was the complete player in every aspect as well as being a kind human being. Cristiano Ronaldo is young yet, and has many years ahead of himself. But as of now, I do not see anyone who can compare with Pele.
Eusebio
Image
Pele wasn't as gifted as George Best and I would definitely put George above Johan Cruyff because he had more heart.
Johnny Giles
Image
Pele should go back to the museum.
Diego Maradona
Image
Unless your kid is Pele Jr., they're not going to be able to feed themselves from soccer. If your kid knows how to play soccer, but not make dinner, you have done them a disservice.
Alton Brown
Image
There would be no debate about who was the best footballer the world had ever seen - me or Pele. Everyone would say me.
Diego Maradona
Image
Fella’s a genius. Best ever by a distance in my life time. Never really saw Pele… Souness, Gullit, Venables and now Rooney agree Messi is the best they have seen. He plays a game with which we are not familiar.
Gary Lineker
Image
My father gave me some advice when I was very young - whatever someone tells you in the future, don't forget Pele is the best.
Jurgen Klopp
Image
My favorite television show of all time is 'Hill Street Blues.' I think it's the show that is to television what Pele was to football or Muhammad Ali was to boxing.
Lennie James
Image
Messi has all the conditions to be the best, but first he has to beat Maradona, Romario and then eventually Pele.
Michel Patini
Image
People always ask me: 'When is the new Pele going to be born?' Never. My father and mother have closed the factory.

I am not Pele or Maradona
Robbie Savage

It's difficult to talk about Pele because I didn't see him.
Thierry Henry
Image
Messi is the best player ever. And this is said by someone who has seen Maradona and Pele play.
Adriano Galliani
Image
I'm a Pele fan from way back when I was a kid, and then there was always this thing later about Pele and Maradona. I was young and impressionable as a kid but it was always Pele for me.
Alex Ferguson
Image
Critics have always questioned whether players like Pele from the 50s could play today. Lionel Messi could play in the 1950s and the present day, as could Di Stefano, Pele, Maradona, Cruyff because they are all great players. Lionel Messi without question fits into that category.
Alex Ferguson
Image
I wasn't like other boys. At any rate, I wasn't like my three elder brothers: they excelled at football and they were like other boys, going up to bed each night hugging annuals filled with stories about the glories of Pele and Danny McGrain.
Andrew O'Hagan
Image
It's ugly to compare but the greatest was Pele. If we believe that God made man, the black Pelé he made him perfect. He gave him everything. He lacked nothing, header, physical power, dribbling, finishing, inspiration, genius, temper, vision, goal. Everything.
Cesar Luis Menotti
Image
There's Pele the man, and then Pele the player. And to play like Pele is to play like God.
Eusebio
Image
That's great, tell him he's Pele and get him back on.
John Lambie
Image
He is the best. The best in the world, yes. Probably the best ever. I saw Maradona a couple of times. I never saw Pele. But Cristiano is amazing. This man is the best... Cristiano is a goals machine. He is an incredible player. He is like Zidane, there will never be another Ronaldo.
Jose Mourinho
Image
I met Pele once. I am not often nervous but in this moment I was shaking. He's a wonderful person.
Jurgen Klopp
Image
His vision was just outstanding. If you think of him in the same way as Pele then you would come close.
Leonard Cohen
Image
Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pele. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.
