i think you are thinking of Pele's list of the best currently active players from a few years back.

The FIFA 100 one is the one from 2004, I also think Pele chose it, but it was from greatest living players not just active?

The relevance of the list I have already said is miniscule, it just demonstrates the point that Keane was clearly respected outside the UK and Ireland.

Ever, no. Not as good as; Maradona, Best, Cruyff, Zico, Zidane, Di Stefano.

**G.K.** · 09-07-2012, 18:01

Cruyff, if no-one else.

Don't even think Iniesta would escape the man marking of Djemba Djemba tbh.

Ah the man, the myth, the legend that is *whispers* Djemba-Djemba

You know he can slam a revolving door

Better than Zidane but best ever? I don't think he's even better than Xavi, more spectacular, certainly.

This is a mad thread.

He's pretty awesome, but Zidane, Redondo and Xavi were better than him in my lifetime anyway.
