George Best in 1990: "Ruud Gullit is a great player by any standards. He has all the skills. He's not afraid to do things with the ball. And he looks as if he's enjoying every second of it. By my reckoning that's what makes him an even better player than Maradona."

I don't agree he was better, but came very close. There is huge respect between the two. Oh man what a battles we have seen between them they made each other better!
