The best player of all time, even better than god.

[Cat Harrison]

Sorry I still think Gerd Müller was better. Even Pelé (who is truly the best, EVER. Maybe you are old enough to have seen him too) gave Gerd respect.

He got pretty much a goal an appearance, like Pele. Maradonna, about half. Messi might get close, I would for sure say is current best.

(from wiki, btw): "Müller is now eleventh on the list of all time international goalscorers despite playing fewer matches than every other player in the top 25"

"According to the IFFHS, Pelé is the most successful league goal scorer in the world, with 541 league goals.^[17] In total Pelé scored 1281 goals in 1363 games, including unofficial friendlies and tour games, for which he was listed in the Guinness World Records for most career goals scored in football."
