1: Zico.
Arthur Antunes Coimbra (born 3 March 1953), better known as Zico, is a Brazilian football coach and former player who played as an attacking midfielder. Often referred to as “White Pele”, he was a creative playmaker with excellent technical skills, vision and an eye for goal, regarded as one of the most clinical finishers and best passers ever, as well as one of the best of all time. One of the greatest players of all time.
In modern football, the terms winger or wide player refer to a non-defender who plays on the left or right sides of the pitch. These terms can apply to left or right midfielders, left or right attacking midfielders, or left or right forwards.[18] Left or right-sided defenders such as wing-backs or full-backs are generally not called wingers.
2: Marco Van Basten.
Marcel “Marco” van Basten (born 31 October 1964) is a Dutch football manager and former player who played for Ajax and AC Milan as well as the Netherlands national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time, he scored 300 goals in a high-profile career, but played his last match in 1993 at the age of 28, due to an injury that kept him out for two years. The latter forced his retirement.
In 1998, Van Basten was ranked 6th in the FIFA Player of the Century Internet poll, 10th in the European Player of the Century poll conducted by IFFHS and 12th in the IFFHS World Player of the Century poll.
3: Lev Yashin.
Yashin gained a reputation for revolutionizing the goalkeeping position by dominating the entire defence. Goalkeepers spent 90 minutes standing in goal waiting to be called into action. His performance made an indelible impression on global audiences at the 1958 World Cup.
Yashin was born in Moscow to a Russian family of industrial workers. When he was 12, World War II forced him to work in a factory to support the war effort. However at the age of 18 his health meant he was unable to work. Thus, he was sent to work in a military factory in Moscow. He was invited to join the Dynamo Moscow youth team after being spotted playing for the factory team.
