Or from any other type of football apart from, ahem, football itself 
I exclude football because holding a football is quite different from kicking one. This should also exclude Aussie Rules, because players from there are incomparable to any sport apart from perhaps Gaelic football.
Every now and then, a player comes along who begs the question - is he the best of any like sport? And come along he has, and his name is Andrew Johns. He plays rugby league in the NRL (Australia/NZ) and he's so damned good that rugby union is still kicking itself for not getting him over to their code of football due to internal bickering. He is in the process of being elevated to god-like status due to his herculean feats since his broken leg and broken jaws of recent seasons, almost single-handedly winning the prestigious State Of Origin series for NSW despite still recovering from his broken jaw, and then lifting his beloved Newcastle from 13 losses from 13 games to 4 from 19 and claiming they can win the whole title next year.
If there's other contenders for best "Ball-running footballer" on earth, i'd like to know.
C'mon you rugby fans, deny you regret missing out on him and nominate some lesser, mortal player instead
And what about the NFL? Do they have an undisputed standout?

This guy has the mental strength to successfully lead an offense and bring back the jewelry.
How many sports was he unbeatable at?
