    • Giacinto Facchetti. In the 1970 World Cup Final, Brazil saw the future. He was playing at left-back for the opposition, who O Canarinho were busy beating 4-1 at the time.
    • Peter Schmeichel. Of all the keepers I have played against, Peter was easily the best. You can't be a great by just being a good shot stopper, you have to have it all – and he did.
    • Sandor Kocsis. Arguably the greatest header of a ball ever, Kocsis scored at incredible rate. He found the net 75 times in 68 games for his national side, winning the Olympic tournament in 1952, and averaged more than a goal-per-game in his seven seasons at Honved, winning three league championship titles.
    • Luis Figo. MORE ON FIGO. ANDREW MURRAY How the 2000s saved El Clasico – and made Barcelona vs Real Madrid bigger than ever before. One of the most idolised and despised players in history – even by the same set of fans at different points in his timeline.
    • Rob Swan
    • Erling Haaland. Manchester City and Norway. Erling Haaland has not only demonstrated the form to rank him among the top players in the world, but also the achievements to go with it.
    • Lionel Messi. Inter Miami and Argentina. If the Qatar World Cup had finished a few weeks later, the greatest footballer who's ever lived probably would've topped this list quite comfortably.
    • Jude Bellingham. Real Madrid and England. It's hard to remember any player arriving at Real Madrid and having an immediate impact quite like Jude Bellingham has this season, let alone one that's still just 20 years of age.
    • Kevin De Bruyne. Manchester City and Belgium. Kevin De Bruyne missed the first five months of the 2023/2024 Premier League season due to injury, but he is now back to his best.
