The Top Ten
Diego Armando Maradona is a retired Argentine professional footballer. He is known for "The Goal of the Century" and the "Hand of God" goal. Why the hell is he seventh? He scored the best goal in football history! And even I admit, though I support England! Look if have not seen these people play, don't vote and leave this list now!

He is the only guy who won world cup for his country by alone
1 Best midfielder

Andrés Iniesta Luján is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for FC Barcelona and the Spain national team. Really? The best ever, Spain won the World Cup with his goal, Iniesta-Xavi-Messi are the best trio on football (soccer), but Iniesta is the Mastermind, the magician!
Best in the history.
18th? What? He is in Top 3!
Best ever.
Luka Modrić is a Croatian footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the Croatia national team. He is the magician midfielder put him in 1st

Ryan Joseph Giggs is a Welsh football coach and former player who is currently the assistant manager at Manchester United and co-owner of Salford City.
Mesut Özil is a German professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Arsenal. He is considered to be one of the best players in the world. Özil plays mostly as an attacking midfielder, but can also be deployed as a winger. The most talented midfielder of his generation
Best midfieilder in the hole wold
Ozil is the WORLD CLASS midfilder of all time. His passing quality is better than xavi, zidan and more. Thatswhy he is best playmaker.
Zinedine Yazid Zidane, nicknamed "Zizou", is a retired French footballer and current manager of Real Madrid. Zinedine zidane is the greatest football player of all time
Zidane should definitely be in the top 5 not kaka ronaldo or lampard this guy is a legend and could school any of these players easily he was the heart and soul of any soccer team he is also rated upon the top 3 football players in the world.
This a joke rite? How the hell is zidane not #1 shoot even the top 3 you really don't know soccer then this guy carried France to the world cup as a rookie he was the best player on a real madrid team that had Ronaldo raul figo r carlos that's saying something! Plus he was still playing at a high level at the age of 35 got France back to the world cup!
Wow.. this is pathetic
Ronaldo and Lampard don't even come close to Zidane.
I guess people are just looking at modern day midfielders and not at the best of all time
Sir Robert "Bobby" Charlton is an English former football player, regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of all time, and an essential member of the England team who won the World Cup in 1966, the year he also won the Ballon d'Or. Often overlooked. As beckenbaeur said lungs of a mule. Class
Toni Kroos is a German professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Spanish club Real Madrid and the German national team. Put him in top 5 already. His vision, control, playmaking is simply phenomenal. Legend!
The Contenders
Frank James Lampard is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for New York City FC in Major League Soccer. Look at his numbers, just look at it 232 goals and 172 assists. It's nearly impossible for any midfielder to scale such heights but not Frank Lampard. He is a legend, in every sense of the word. It was a pleasure watching him play. Too bad we won't be able to do it any longer. It's a pain, really. A pain that leaves a hole in the heart as deep as the ocean.
Franks the best he gets all the assists to chelsea and scores a lot. He's the top kicker on chelsea. If chelsea gets to a penalty shootout he kicks first because the coach relies on him
It's awesome to be the top scorer for the club and, he is a midfielder! He had scored a variety of wonder, from freekicks to headers, and surely, the goal from the tightest of angle beating valdes! He's a great midfielder.
What can I say every one in the world know Frank Lampard is the best and is a legend.. A goal machine A friend A hero A legend A heartbeat of the team A Legend.. He have good vision to know wheere to pass where to kick the ball.. He is also the most successful penalty in football history.
Paul Labile Pogba is a French professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Manchester United and the France national team. Best...simply best
what POGBA
That moment you realise fernando torres (a striker) is rated higher than pogba... wow...
Steven George Gerrard is an English professional footballer who plays for Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy. Say all you want about Lampard's stats, but let's be honest, if we talk about the pure quality, Gerrard is above Lampard. The goals he scored for Liverpool and England were out of this world, and not to mention, crucial. He won Liverpool the champions league and FA cup by himself, and was arguably the best captain of the premier league era. He played in a mediocre team for his whole career and still did amazing, he didn't need to be put in a world class team to get global recognition, and that's why Liverpool fans will admit that for many years, Gerrard carried Liverpool. Lampard simply didn't have the same influence as Gerrard, or the "big game" attitude.
Gerrard is a wonderful football player and a brilliant role model I think every child should look up to him. He is 33 years old but can still play like ronaldo or messi steven is the king of football
He don't need any explanation.. Shoot power, accuracy, defense, attack, pass and leader.. He's just the BEST.
He si the best lampard may have better stats but stevie is the best there is the best there was the bes there wil ever be
Xavier "Xavi" Hernández Creus is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder for Qatari club Al Sadd SC. No matter what anyone says, this guy is definitely the best midfielder ever! (Coming from someone who played pro in South America) his success in club and country can't lie, plus changing the whole tactic system in the best club in the world (Barcelona) is something only a legend could do. The brain of Barça/Spain and main point of the tiki-taka system, he pretty much controlled the whole team according to his thinking (check his highlights on YouTube), this world will definitely never see another footballer like Xavi Hernandez!
XAVI HAS TO BE AT LEAST IN THE TOP 3! He is an absolute legend! Without him Barcelona would not have scored half the goals they have scored this season! Pass-Master!
No doubt one of the best play maker ever, truly beast, I don't know why he is on 5 he should be at least 2nd, I think everyone forgot their passes and vision
Best in the world insane pass completion rate in his prime

His passing accuracy, corner, free-kick all was awesome
Best midfielder to grace football

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Italian club Juventus and the Portugal national team. He is not a midfielder!

Ronaldo is so awesome with his skills

Ricardo Izecson dos Santos Leite, commonly known as Kaká or Ricardo Kaká, is a Brazilian professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Orlando City SC in Major League Soccer and the Brazil national team. The most prolific playmakers in present day football and he makes the whole attack look so simple by his passing ability... He can score from long range, inside the box... A full PACKAGE...
Have to respect in whatever club he plays does better passes than lampard and maradona is a drug head
Awesome player! Go real madrid
Simply the best! not like hand of dog.
Park is such an underrated player. Just his determination and short passing will inspire the whole team.
