Best Player in the Football History

Not the best player of all time as I think this easily either goes to Pele or Maradona, but my favourite player was Eric Cantona.

Incredible entertainment! Brilliant flicks and link up play, spectacular goals (my favourite was the lob against Sunderland) and really important goals. He wasn't one of those players who would score when the game was already won. Loads of really imporant game changing goals.

Ultimately a flawed genius though, which made him even more entertaining. The Karate kick into the Selhurst Park crowd was pure comedy (the lengthy ban afterwards wasn't though!) and the comments about Sardines after this still baffles the greatest of minds.

Best player in the history is Pele. The soccer was and still is the most famous sport in Europe. The most richest and strongest teams are from Europe, but Pele managed to defeat every European team with his Santos. And as cream on the cake he lead Brazil to 3 world titles.
In my opinion the best season a player ever had was Ronaldinho, the guy was doing some wizardry on the pitch, too bad he couldn't keep up with that "form of his life" he had in Barcelona for 3-4 seasons more.

No doubt about it Pele is the correct answer here.
