Best Right Footed Soccer (Football) Players of All Time

The Top Ten
1 Diego Maradona Diego Armando Maradona (October 30, 1960 - November 25, 2020) was an Argentine professional footballer. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, he was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the 20th Century award. Maradona was given the nickname "El Pibe de Oro" ("The Golden Boy"). He was known for the "Goal of the Century" and the "Hand of God" goal. He died of cardiac arrest on November 25, 2020 at the age of 60

I'm surprised he's 1 on left and right foot because mess I is better with left but right should be pele FACT pel e scored 1284 goals in his career but they weren't all official only 757 where so mess I is close to being better goal scorer

Left footed players are always technically more skillfully gifted...,. Messing second but almost equal...Only reason Maradona edges it is because he has been a world cup winner.

Greatest football legend who faced the highest number and the most dangerous fouls and illegal tackles. He entertained with the best technique without necessarily trying to showboat.
Unlike Pelé, Messi & CR7 he didn't always have some crazy good teammates like Garrincha/other Brazilians; R10/Iniesta/Eto or Bale/Modric/Benzema

Whoa whoa this guy has the best left foot and right foot of all time what! Oh year and ronaldo has a bad right actually as

2 Pele Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known as "Pelé", was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward. In 1999 he was named Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and was included in the Time list of the 100 most important people of the 20th century. In 2000, Pelé was voted World Player of the Century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS), and was one of the two joint winners of the FIFA Player of the Century.

I have to say that I am surprised that he is not the number 1 world class and by the 2 best player ever after Henry ARSENAL

Why is Maradona first in left foot and right foot. it should be Pele And Messi

Pele is the best and can shoot as powerful as hulk

He is the best player of all times

3 Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Juventus and captains the Portugal national team.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer in the world I hope I meet him someday and train with him love you Chris Ronaldo.

He should be 1 but he's not the best of all time plus maradona is left footed!

He's getting a bit old but still amazing

Him +dybala =absolute madness

A global icon of the sport, he was renowned for his technical skills, creativity and dribbling ability, as well as his use of tricks, feints, overhead kicks, no-look passes and accuracy from free-kicks.

Ronaldinho is like Pele, Ronaldo, Chrisiano Ronaldo and Kaka all rolled into 1. He is also the man who made Messi the footballer he is today.

Simply the best! The GOD of dribbling and passing. The way he curves the ball is unbelievable.

He simply lets the ball do the talking!
