Pele played around great players(but hey, its Brazil, arent they always great? ;), but he was overall SO much better that 33 years after he stopped playing football everybody remembers him and hardly any other. and that also happen while he played, he completely overshadowed everyone with his fooball skill. those who have really see Pele play, say that there is no player that compare to him.
