Former Manchester United defender, Jaap Stam has disagreed with Cristiano Ronaldo on his recent claim of being the greatest man to have played football.
Stam acknowledged the Portugueses extraordinary career, but insisted that he cannot be considered the best player of all time.
He believes that the presence of other legendary figures in the sport's history has put Ronaldo behind despite the Portugueses successes.
Stam told Spaceport Sweden, I cannot agree with Cristiano Ronaldo that he is the best player of all time.
You have to consider Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi, Pele, Johan Cruyff and other players who are talented in different ways.
