Go wash your mouth out with soap!

Beckenbauer was DEFINITELY great. I think the OP might be making the point that when you weigh up abilities both offensively & defensively into the equation, then Beckenbauer might be the 'best' player ever.

^^^^^^ This. Couldn't say it in a better way. Put Pele or Maradona into some defensive position and they'd look like some rookies. Beckenbauer could swing both ways,lol.


PS: I've got some quality french soap here, if ya wanna try.
