everytime someone comes up with a list of all time greats they allways forget his name why? isnt his five pichichis, his golden boot, or all of his championships he conquered enough? he was a true foward and other than pele i dont think there is someone that could finish a play like him. can anyone aswere why he is never in the top of anybodys list? only people from spain seem to give him credit in spain theres only one latin player and its not pele or maradona its hugo sanchez and its backflip goals that made him the most beloved soccer player of his time. what place would u give him in your own rankings of all time?

It is of course Hugo Sánchez Márquez!\n\nAfter five successful seasons in Mexico, with 99 goals to his name, Sanchez drew the attention of several Spanish sides, and signed with Atletico de Madrid in 1981. It took him a while to find his feet in La Liga, but by the 1984-85 season he was scoring regularly with a team that won the Copa del Rey, finished in second place in the Spanish League and won the Spanish Super Copa. That year Hugo also won his first Pichichi trophy for being the most prolific scorer in the league.\n\nAt this point, he reached the high-point of his career, signing for Real Madrid in 1985 and playing with players such as Camacho, Butragueño, Gordillo, Valdano and Míchel ( La quinta del Buitre). This team won five consecutive league titles (from 1985-86 to 1989-90), the Copa del Rey in 1989, and the UEFA Cup in 1986. During these five years, Sánchez garnered four consecutive Pichichi trophies, scoring 207 goals in 283 games.\n\nSanchez scored 38 goals in the 1989-90, tying the record of the great Zarra and giving him a European Golden Boot for best scorer in Europe. Overall, he scored 23 goals in 45 European Cup games.\n\nHis trademark was to perform a celebratory somersault after each goal he scored, honouring his sister, who was a gymnast and participated in the Montreal Olympics.\n\nAfter this fantastically successful period, Sanchez returned to his native Mexico for a season, before playing for a variety of clubs in Spain, Austria and the USA (he played for the Dallas Burn in the inaugural year of Major League Soccer). He finished his career playing for Atlético Celaya with his old colleagues from Real Madrid, Butragueño and Míchel.\n\nSanchez was the only Mexican to feature in Pele's 125 Top Living Football Players List in March 2004.

I think in order to be considered "best," you should be able use both feet if not equally well..pretty close. Yes those guys a good but I can think of people that names arent as high on the radar that I consider much better. No one can touch Maradona..or Pele to me..that is soccer. The tricks of today are nice but that was pure soccer

no 90% of brazilian players are talented look at cris the brazilian defender in lyon although he is not in the national team he is really talented and there is also naldo in bermen and amauri in palermo and the brazilians in sevilla even the brazilians in the turkish club fenerbache r talented so in every famous club in any country in any league u will find 2 or moretalented brazilians so i donot agree with him in this point the only thing i agree with him about lately is his comments on ronaldinho when he said that he is loyal to barca than the yellow shirt of brazil which is really true espicially after the amazing goal i saw yesterday which he scored against viareal i never saw ronaldinho scoring such an amazing goal with brazil i even didnot see him scoring a single goal with brazil since copa america!!!

Borgetti is the top scorer in the history of Mexico and much better than Blanco.  The best player on the tres-colores is Rafa Marquez.  He just rarely gets to show how dominant he is on home soil because he always has obligations in Spain.  Sanchez is one of the top 5 keepers in the world but it would be a shame if he left Chivas!  If the midfield con hold possession, Mexico is a team to watch thanks to their foreign legion.

He is the best of the current players. For mine, Pele is probably the best ever. Pele is often considered the complete midfield and attacking player, he was completely two-footed, a clinical finisher, exceptionally skilled at dribbling and passing, and a remarkably good tackler for a forward. He was famed for his speed and kicking strength and scored 1,281 goals over the course of his career. Along with Maradona, he was FIFA player of the century but Pele was the better sportsman for mine.

He is better, but he retired from International football in 2005. I don't think even he could've stopped that goal from Koller, it was a beautiful cross, and he was too tall and too good.

The whole world is wondering that, I think that he is not comfortable with all the stars around him, in Barca he is the main player with all the freedom that he needs and the game is played around him, but in Brazil he is ''just'' one of the great players and he has to adapt himself to the other, and that is something that he must learn!!!!! We will see in WC 2010, the best of him!!!!!!!!!!

David Beckham is internationally known.  I think it is great he is lending support to such an effort.  Does he pay more attention to his hair?  I thought he was a good player.   Don't you think using David will get more attention than using an unknown?  Unicef made millions using Abba, Olivia Newton John, Andy Gibb and others in the 70s.

Free kick wise yes he is definetly underrated, one of his strongest points and I'd say that he's one of the best in Scottish Football today that can finish from a dead ball position. With Celtic supporters I don't think he is underrated but I wouldn't say he is overrated either. Jan v. Hesselink I'd say is overrated and is kind of stealing his thunder, I see that he is a clean player as well which is always good. He is an inspiration to a lot of youngsters unlike some other Old Firm players. He has the talent to play in any league in the World and he might progress from Scottish Football to somewhere else in a couple of years.

What are you talking about, he was the first player that coaches were studying him because they didn't know how to stop him, how many players can play with Gattuso like with little kid ( like he did last CL semi finals against Milan ), his style of play was a mystery for all defenders and coaches and when he will come back in his form you will see why is he the best!!!!! He played almost hundred matches for Barca and he scored or assist on 80% of his games........ that's why he is the best!!! AND HE WILL BE ONLY BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! And about the WC....... he wasn't only Brazilian that played bad!!!!!

Totally agree 100%.... He was on Talk Sport Radio last week and what an amazing Goalscorer he was.... 366 Goals in 530 Games for all clubs. I didnt realise he played for AC milan till then, only played 12 games but scored 9 goals. For England he scored something like 40 odd goals in 50 odd games. I used to like the Saint & Greavsie show on Saturdays. Best question i think ive seen on here.... even better than my ones  lol

Diego Armando Maradona. The single reason why Argentina won the WC in 86 and why Napoli won 2 Serie A titles and  Coppa UEFA. None of these would have been possible without him. Pele won because of other greats on the Brazilian team made his job alot easier.

He is very underrated as an all round player. Because he is so tall people naturally expect him to excel in the air whereas in fact he is a much better ball player at his feet. He can hold the ball up very well and his lay off and passing is also very good. Any improvement should come in his finishing especially in the air.

arguebly george best .alas! this greatest of all time grearts is no more . tears come down we could not see this man is not in action at present . i wish he should have born now . when we see some of his older film , i feel what a player he was ,possing abandant of skill and brilliances . we remember only maradona, pele, boby charlton, boby moor, but nobody seems bother about this creature of god who once ruled the english and european circuit only but never played any world cup .
