does anyone think that pele was more skillful than maradona and cruyff?

thats a hard question man im not too sure, Maradona was very skillful but the others were too, but Pele is #1.
how does Garrincha compare in tricks and skills?

My grandfather has watched every world cup since the 60s, and he told me nobody is better than Pele.
And my grandfather watched them all play for the World Cup (Live TV)

Sorry but im adding 1 more player to the list, and its Garrincha so what will he be ranked?

He was more skill-full in its simplicity. Maradona often choose the hard way, so he appeared to be more skilful. Cruyff also often choose the simple way; his technique often came to the surface when the ball was played badly towards him, for example when the ball came behind him. Then he used his heel to control it etcetera.
Example:

In all other instances it was very simple what he did because he made the right choice and so did Pelé.

Interesting that you rate Zidane below Messi, since you are knowledgeable about french players.

Messi already has a better career than about half of those players, that's all.

In terms of more achievements: yes.

Spot on. As much as I like Zizou I never thought he would become a top 5-10 player ever, even at the peak of his carreer. At the opposite I think Messi is already not far from this level.

Zidane is technically a level above Messi.

Personally my ranking of those players comes out like this:
1 Pele
2 Cruyff, 3 Maradona
4 Platini, 5 Best
6 Zidane, 7 Beckenbauer
8 Ronaldo, 9 Puskas
10 Ronaldinho, 11 Zico
12 Garrincha
13 Romario, 14 Messi
- Young prospect - Neymar

The players on the same line are pretty much equally rated and actually I'd have 6-11 all about equal but thought I'd better split them more. Cruyff and Maradona could be arguably about equal with Pele I think.

So there's another opinion, but I'm sure whatever the final order it'll be a nice gift .

1.Pele
2.Maradona
3.Beckenbauer
4.Cruyff
5.Puskas
6.Zico
7.Platini
8.George Best

~475. Neymar (Under Best Talent)

Maybe it is fairer to split out per era because the game football (rules, equipment) changes over time.

Maybe I was also a bit harsh towards Zidane. Seen from the era-perspective Zidane will be my nr.1 between 1995-2005. of course he faded sometimes in great matches but so did Ronaldinho and Ronaldo (and Messi nowadays).

1-Pele
2-Maradona
3-Cruyff
4-Beckenbauer

6-Puskas
7-Zidane
8-Romario
9-George Best
10-Ronaldo
11-Messi(until now)
12-Ronaldinho
Neymar

1. Maradona = Pele
3. Beckenbaur
4. Cruyff
5. Zico (most favorite)
6. Platini
7. Ronaldo
8. Messi (up till now)
9. Romario
10. Puskas
11. Ronaldinho
12. Zidane
13. George Best

Remember I have also included Garrincha

I thinking of something like this.
Im a big fan of Ronaldo so I wanted him in my TOP 3 because in his prime 96-02 he was the best.
And I put my TOP 5 to be exciting skillful players.

1. Pele
2. Maradona
3. Ronaldo
4. Cruyff
5. Garrincha
6. Beckenbaur
7. Platini
8. Zico
9. Ronaldinho
10. Messi (Until Now)
11. Puskas
12. Romario
13. Zidane
14. George Best

Neymar (Best Talent)

But where should I put Neymar? right at the start of the video? or at the end just before Pele? because I want Pele as the last player because thats my Grandfathers favourite player.

Thanks

Franz Beckenbauer.
His name is Beckenbauer.

Surely his talents and abilities have a lot to do with that.

Explain how.
