The 100 greatest footballers of all time, ranked by career impact, trophies, individual awards and lasting legacy to the sport. From Pelé and Maradona to Messi and Ronaldo, this is the definitive ranking across every era of the game.

Methodology: Rankings weigh peak performance, longevity, international success and the quality of the era in which each player competed. Iconic World Cup moments and club-level dominance both count heavily. Players are first ranked within their own era before cross-era comparisons are made.
