As you might have expected, old rival Pele does not feature in the Argentina icon's list of favourite footballers
Diego Maradona has named fellow Argentine, Alfredo Di Stefano, as the greatest footballer in history, overlooking compatriot Lionel Messi and Brazilian legend Pele.
Maradona, now head coach at Gimnasia de La Plata, is often listed among the best to ever grace a pitch, with his exploits for Barcelona, Napoli and Argentina among others earning him that spot in the ongoing debate.
And, while the former attacker does feel that he has achieved enough to be in the conversation, he stated that he feels a different South American tops the chart for the best of all time, accusing Pele of turning a blind eye to Di Stefano's undeniable quality.
