Oh that's very tough.
It's gotta be Zizou though. He was instrumental in France's world cup win and I think his skill on the ball is underrated when compared with some of the famous footballer's of past generations. Also I think it's very easy to overrate a finisher over a provider, Zidane is one of the best dribbler's and playmakers in history and he banged them in at '98 as well.
To be fair though I'd say Garrincha is a better footballer than Pele... But that's only because I think strikers are overrated, Garrincha could swing in a mean cross.
