So everyone is no doubt raving about Messi today and rightly so. He is a footballing god.
But what other sporting stars past and present can you name as having the most incredible skills or sporting achievments. I`ll get the ball rolling.
Jahangir Khan -

Between 1981 and 1986, he was unbeaten in competitive play for five years.

Ed Moses
After breaking his own world record the following year, Moses lost to West Germany's Harald Schmid on 26 August 1977 in Berlin, his fourth defeat in the 400 m hurdles. Beginning the next week, when he beat Schmid by 15 meters in Düsseldorf, Moses did not lose another race for nine years, nine months and nine days.
By the time American Danny Harris beat Moses in Madrid on June 4, 1987, Moses had won 122 consecutive races, set the world record two more times, won three World Cup titles, two World Championships, and earned his second Olympic gold medal in Los Angeles, where he was selected to take the Olympic Oath. After losing to Harris, he won 10 more races in a row, then finished third in the final 400 m race of his career at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul. As of October 2011, he still holds 25 of the 100 fastest times in the 400 m hurdles
