From the BBC Sport website:
No matter how old you are, or who you grew up watching, one man has long dominated the debate about just who was the greatest footballer of all time.
From World Cup glory at 17 to Escape to Victory theatrics via 1,000 goals, Gordon Banks' save, and outrageous dummies, Pele has been a walking, talking showreel for more than half a century.
Was he the finest player to ever grace the game - or are the modern-day superstars a cut above?
As Pele turns 80, BBC Sport asks you to rate his achievements among some of the other GOATs (from this list) - and you can put them in order at the bottom...
Note: The Ballon d'Or could only be won by a European player until 1995
