Best Player from Every Decade In Football History
Football has been around for longer than you think. The first set of official rules were drawn up all the way back in 1863!
Sadly, we don’t have much footage from those days, so here is the best footballer from every decade in the last 100 years.

You forgot to mention Marco Van Basten. He's one of the best in 1980s, won 3 ballondor and retired at 28 years of age scoring 300 goals

I’m surprised David Beckham wasn’t even a honourable mention
Great job! Excellent work! Learned a lot, especially before the 1950s. Have you read biographies of South American players like J: M. Moreno, Leonidas da Silva & A. Erico? It is a hard chore to pinpoint just one footballer for a decade. Sometimes some players' time overlaps. Take for example Pele. From 1958-1970 he was unmatched. Then he played for a couple of more years but was not at his peak. In the 60s,, He admired Best, called the fifth Beatle, who was very talented like Matthews but was not as consistent. At an early age, he won at the club level all the major trophies. Eusebio also appeared and fought for first place in his squad against Pele´s Santos. Beckenbauer was in the 1966 German Squad until 1974. Unfortunately, Cruyff appeared and became the top player for the first half of the decade displacing him but Franz won his two Ballon d'Or. Then came Kempes and in 1978, overshadowed him. His years in Spanish football were amazing and was a superstar. His professional and modest attitude was different from G. Best, Ronaldhino, or Maradona. Probably the reason why he is many times underrated. Kevin Keegan with 2 Ballon d'Or was the top player and competed for the first spot. Therefore neither Cruyff nor Backenbauer were number one at this point. At this same time, young Maradona just like Pele dazzled in Argentino Juniors in the last part of the 1970s. Furthermore, in 1979, he led the Argentine team to the junior world cup. When he went to Europe, the number one was Platini, and both became rivals, especially after the transfer to Italy. Until his third cup appearance in 1990, Maradona was undisputed in the 1980s especially in his early years at Napoli making this small team the top one in Serie A. Rud Gullut and Marco Van Basten both in Milan and the national dutch team out shadowed him at the end of the decade. Van Basten became one of the three players to win 3 Ballon d'Or. The third in 1992. Here is where it is more difficult to define a player for a complete decade. This is confirmed by the multiple players that had won the Ballon d'Or. Ronaldo is the top player in the second half of the decade but Zidane emerged in 1998 to become the number one. The brazilian still was at the top confirmed in 2002 winning the World Cup with Brazil and the Balon d'Or. In the early 1990s, we have Roberto Baggio (Ballon d'Or 1993), Hristo Stoichkov (Ballon d'Or 1994), and George Weah (Ballon d'Or 1995). The last year before Messi-Ronaldo took the lead is 2007 with Kaka. So to say that the complete decade belongs to Zidane is not exact. He had Rivaldo, Figo, Ronaldo, Ronaldhino, and Kaka as his contemporaries at the same level or depending on the year, ahead of him. He could have been crowned in 2006, especially for his performance at the world cup (parallel was Modric). This year, after the world cup, there is no doubt that Messi is superior to Ronaldo but no one can deny that they have owned these last 15 years. They cover a decade and a half! Much more than expected With all of this in mind, although it is convenient to classify by decade, it will cost you precision and truthfulness.
No honorable mention for Eusebio for the 60s?? The disrespect😤😤

You can not compare Zidane and Ronaldinho. Zidane has been at the top since 1995 until 2006. Ronaldinho had a few years with Barcelona.

I really like the ranking. I think it is pretty accurate. The only thing I would disagree is that Cruyff is the player of the 1970s. Of course, he was legendary. His impact on the game is huge. But his legacy for modernising the game did also come from his achievements in coaching. He was a superb coach. If we are talking about players, I would go with Franz Beckenbauer. He is the only defender in history to win the Ballon D`or twice. Therefore he is widely regarded as the greatest defensive player of all time. Nevertheless you did a good job with the list.

*Ronaldinho was the best player of the 2000s. He won the world cup in 2002 and turned Barcelona into the best team in the world.*
There's one thing that differentiates Ronaldinho to anyone else on football,, namely his introduction of 3D football, he added a dimention to football no one else has done in as magnificent style as Ronaldinho, by lifting the ball. ZiZo was great, but no Ronaldinho!! Great video non the less, and good save on not splitting Messi and CR7 :D

Hi
If FIFA crowned Pele as Player of the Century then his legacy can't be questioned.
To be honest, it's hard to talk about decades. Look, Friedenreich became great player in 10s of XX century, but he was great also in 20s. Jose Manuel Moreno became great after 1935, but he was greatest in 40s. Same Zizinho. Garrincha - great in 50s, but his biggest achievement is 1962. That's why I say that it's better to do best players list of every 5 years. However, if I think about decades... 1900-1909: 1. Vivian Woodward, 2. Steve Bloomer, 3. Bill Meredith. 1910-1919: 1. Arthur Friedenreich, 2. Angel Romano, 3. Imre Schlosser, 4. Ohaco, 5. Pichichi. 1920-1929: 1. Ricardo Zamora, 2. Hector Scarone, 3. Jose Nasazzi, 4. Jose Leandro Andrade, 5. Dixie Dean, 6.

Stanley Matthews, 7. Ademir, 8. Angel Labruna, 9. Telmo Zarra, 10. Obdulio Varela. 1950-1959: 1. Alfredo Di Stefano, 2. Ferenc Puskas, 3. Didi, 4. Raymond Kopa, 5. Juan Alberto Schiaffino, 6.

we cannot talk about football in the 30s without mentioning Giuseppe Meazza 3 Italian championships and an Italian cup with Inter Milan 2 International Cups and 2 World Cups obviously with the Italian national team this player started the extraordinary tradition of Italian football, and was the best player of his era
Feel like a Uruguay should’ve been the best player of the 20’s they were the best team of that era.

@@Tuberkulinum What I think is remarkable is that Puskas was not allowed to play soccer for two years after he participated in the Hungarian uprising due to politics (teams were afraid of offending the Soviet Union by taking Puskas). He traveled throughout Europe looking for team before landing on Madrid (due to Franco's fierce anti-communist stand). And after two years of inactivity he still played amazing soccer.
