    He's probably the best player ever.

    Always a dodgy one to compare eras I think but Ronaldo’s records speak for themselves. For what it’s worth, I think he’s well ahead of all those you’ve named there, with possibly only Pele putting up a case.

    Probably a fair score on reflection of the game. Portugal don’t look much to me, although I remember thinking that last Euros and they won it so what do I know?

    Ronaldo is a different beast though. Not everyone’s cup of tea that’s for sure but his record is incredible.

    George Best is the only one I saw play live. Pele and Eusebio only on TV games and Puskas was just before my time.

    Depends on the definition of " best" but as a goal machine he absolutely is!

    Pele counted goals he scored in Year 9 against his classmates.

    And I did say "probably" - because obviously it's subjective.

    But Ronaldo has excelled in the 3 strongest leagues in the world for over 15 years. He's played in and scored in every major tournament since Euro 2004. He carried his team to victory in one of those. His longevity is amazing.

    Left foot, right foot, excellent in the air. Incredible work rate.

    I'll call him the best player of the modern day - if that's more agreeable.
