The best player in History was Pele, but now the greatest soccer player is David Becham.
AnswerEdison Arantes do Nascimento (nicknamed Pelé): Among experts, there are few that challenge the proposal that he was the greatest. If there was anyone else really worth matching this great man against as a player, it might have been Maradonna.
But, for most, Pele clearly claims the title of "King".
Other Considerations:As soccer is a team sport and as it has changed over the years, it is impossible to answer this question.
In a one-on-one sport - such as boxing or athletics - all one can say is that on a certain day X was the fastest/best.... but you can't even say that about a soccer player because there is no standard against which this can be judged.
