You will learn about this by reading this article.
Over the past few years, the most famous football player of the world is Cristiano Ronaldo. The captain of the Portuguese national team was born in the city of Funchal in 1985. Interestingly, parents called the future star in honor of the American President Ronald Reagan. Play Ronnie, as the fans call him, began in the eight of the age, and during the 2004 European Championship, he was recognized as the most promising young player. In 2008, Ronaldo became the best football player of the year, and in 2012 received the status of the most famous athlete of the world.

In 1964 he managed to put an unprecedented record, putting eight balls in the opponent's goal.
The secret of the pele is that every reception of the game is capable of performing much better than any other football player. He could easily overtake the opponent or jump higher than the other players, also the pele perfectly knew how to beat on both feet. It is not surprising that he inspired the rivals a real horror, because his technique is simply impossible to surpass.
It is surprising that the footballer, which had achieved such heights, remained an open, friendly and very soft man. Pele's fans could be confident that the idol would not refuse them in a joint photo and autograph.

Lev Yashin received the status of a better goalkeeper in the world in the versions of all existing ratings. Lion was born in 1929 in a simple Soviet family, quite distant from sports. However, the ability of the future champion appeared in enough early age: For all day, he played football with his yard friends. At the time of childhood, Lion Yashin Football was considered one of the most romantic sports, and the Soviet boys dreamed that someday would be able to defend the honor of their native country in the sports arena. Maybe that was the reason why Lev Yashin decided to devote himself to football. True, to come to the goal, he had to work hard.
After Lev Yashin graduated from the technical school, he went to work for one of the suburban plants. The young years of the football player fell for the period of World War II, so he had to spend the machine for many hours in a row. However, after the working day, Yashin went to the training session: the laryrian coach was engaged in the factory guys, who saw the talents of a young fitter.
After the war, the rapid development of Career Yashin began. During one of the matches, the coach of the Dynamo youth team noted: it was in this team that in childhood and dreamed of getting a young football player. True, the first matches were held rather unsuccessfully, and from 1950 to 1952 he almost did not go out on the field, more often on the replacement bench. Because of the failure, Yashin even began to engage in hockey, reaching sports in this sport rather impressive results.
In 1954, Yashin still returned to football. And this decision was right: soon about the new Soviet footballer spoke the whole world. The abilities of Yashin amazed: in the world it was called "black panther" for color goalkeeper, as well as the ability to acrobatic, resembling cat, jump. It was Yashin and another nickname: "Black Spider". So he was called for the long hands, which he could reach the ball flying into the goal. There was an interesting player's manner: he first began to play at the outputs throughout the penalty area. True, an understanding of this game caused far from everyone. Many believed that Yashin was simply distracted by his direct responsibility - the protection of the gate. And the trainer "Dynamo" repeatedly scolded for the fact that the goalkeeper suits the real "circus" on the field.
Unfortunately, in 1989, Yashin began Gangrena, in connection with which the football player was amputated by a foot. Footballist failed to defeat the disease, and on March 20, 1990, he died from continuing gangrene.
Diego Maradona
The future star of football was born in Buenos Aires in October 1960. Maradona, like many Argentine boys, began to chase the ball, barely learned to walk. True, the football is quite difficult to call this game: first, Diego just ran and beat his feet on the ball. However, after a while he learned the rules of this game and moved to a new level.
On the seventh birthday, Maradonov's cousin presented the first to the boy in his life soccer ball. Diego was so glad that even some time slept with the ball in an embrace. After long-term training, during which Maradona just drove the ball around the room with her sisters, the boy began playing with the older guys in full football. True, players, significantly superior to Maradon in age, easily wound and overtook a little dioei. But gradually Maradona learned to play on a par with stronger rivals: perhaps this is exactly what is the cause of his success. At first browsing the team in which the boys played under the age of 14, Diego struck the coach so much that he decided that the dwarf was trying to deceive: the child simply cannot so technically own the ball!
Maradona himself believes his debut by the first match for the "Archentynos Junior" club. Team Maradonov failed to win, but the young football player was assessed by sports journalists. From this point on, the rapid development of the career of the Great Argentine began. Soon he became the captain of the Argentine national team and was able to win the ITALE Cup first, and then the UEFA Cup. But soon after the achievement of these dizzying successes, it was happening: Maradoni was found in the blood of Maradona ... It turned out that the football player thus relieves stress after tense games. Indeed, sometimes the impression was created that the Diego field controls himself with great difficulty. Even his nickname - "The Hand of God" - he received for the fact that in the mouth of the match scored a goal with his hand, which is not forbidden by the rules of football.
Due to the dioei broken scandal, he was disqualified for a year and a half, after which he returned to football, giving an oath to never touch the drugs. But on the eve of one of the championships, the doping test showed that Maradne takes Ephedrine. The football player was dismissed with a shame from the game, and he had to watch the matches from the audience tribune.
Unfortunately, it was not possible to return to the big sport of Diego Maradona. So the career was completed by one of the most brilliant football players of the twentieth century: now Maradona remind unless numerous articles in the yellow press.

3. Gerd Muller - Forward of all times and peoples
Most of the balls were clogged with Muller, being out of the block of penalty area.
For example, Gerd was taught the young generation, showing how to act in the attack if you are central forward. Based on information from different sources, Muller sent over 1 thousand goals over her career. In 1970, when the World Championship passed, forward got a deserved award "Golden Buck"Since he managed to score 10 goals within this tournament in the gate.

In the match with the national team of England, Diego dragged the battlefield from the middle of the field, beating more than half of the team of England, and did not leave any chance of action for goalkeeper. In the same contest, he scored one of the most beautiful goals, for which he got the nickname "Hand of God." But, the best indicator of his work remained in the Argentina national team, where Diego Armando played about 91 matches, and scored 34 goals in the gate of rivals. By the way, many do not want to compare Messi and Maradon, since Diego has the title " best Albiselest"What is achieved for many years to assign Leonel for himself.

7. Zinined Zidane - Scandalist and talent in one person
Of big Sport Zinin Zadan left with a big scandal. For two decades in a row, he was considered the most expensive scorer of the planet.
The reason was its transition from the Juventus club to the Spanish "Real Madrid", which went up at $ 75 million. One of the beautiful goals was recorded in the UEFA Champions League match, where he struck his left foot, and from the moment of flight after a carport from the position of the flank, where he was Roberto Carlo. Stunning Double Zidan was held within the framework of World Cup in 1998. This moment helped to determine his team winner in Mundial.

9. Lev Yashin is a Russian nugget, surprised world
Thanks to Lero Yashin, a change in the general opinion about the goalkeeper occurred, and the status of a football mesh defender was almost completely "revolutionized".
At that time, goalkeepers did not play any significant role. When Yashin stood on the gates, he gave an indication - where and how to stand, and even fell on his colleagues. He had an interesting chip, he could run out for the penalty area and send the round so far that he did not leave the chance of the attacker again to be in the same place. Such a style led to the fact that he learned about him the whole world, when for the first time began to broadcast in 1958 matches.

However, based on the sympathies of fans and estimates of experts, few have been honored to head the top list. At the same time, I would like to mention some masters of the leather ball, unspeakable in our ranking - it's Ziko, Van Basten, Garico, Pushkash, Di Stephan and others.
On each continent there are football federations that determine the decent applicants in the results of the year. In the future, we see them on the largest competitions, where the sophistication is convinced of personal talent and strength.
