Who is the best professional soccer player of all time?

 

Any conversation about who is the best professional soccer player could go in a number of different directions. How many ways are there to judge who is the "best"? Which player has been on the team with the most wins, or perhaps the player with the most incredible personal stats?

Or you can just try to find the player who excelled in general and who has become a legend. An example of such a perfect player is Jim Brown.

One of the most amazing things about Jim Brown is that he only played in the NFL for 9 seasons and yet he is still talked about 42 years after ดาวทีมแมนยู. Even in just 9 seasons, he racked up a staggering 12,312 rushing yards (an NFL record at the time). Brown also held a season rushing record with 1,863 yards. Add to that more records for rushing touchdowns, total touchdowns, and all-purpose yards.

Even after all these decades, he is still the Cleveland Browns record holder for rushing yards in a single season (1,863). No other franchise in the league has a record that has stood for so long. Jim Brown was also awarded the league MVP award 3 times during his time with Cleveland.

What made Brown a spectacular player was that he was more than a good football player. He was an excellent athlete in all aspects. Physically, it was definitely a talented game, but he also had the mental capacity to learn and overcome any athletic challenge that came his way.

His ability was not overlooked. When he graduated from his Long Island high school, he received 42 offers for college scholarships because of his athletic performance. He settled on Syracuse University, where he earned All-American honors in lacrosse and soccer.

Many of Jim Brown's stats have been surpassed by other NFL players since his retirement, mainly because Brown only played for nine seasons. Most of today's runners have longer runs than, which gives them a statistical advantage when you look at the overall numbers. That does not mean that his talent is greater.

He retired in 1966, leaving the game when it was still in its prime. Unfortunately, that means his name won't always be on the all-time list of great running backs in the NFL. However, Jim Brown should be considered one of the best players in soccer history.
