✔️ ??????? ALAN SHEARER

Alan Shearer (born 13 August 1970) is a retired English centre-forward. After a stunning debut for Southampton where Shearer scored a hat-trick, he made the move to big spending Blackburn Rovers in 1992 where he would later obtain a Premier League winners medal. A return home to his beloved Newcastle soon followed when Shearer joined for a world record fee of £15 million. Shearer retired in 2006 after scoring 206 goals for Newcastle to make him their highest ever goalscorer.

1995
Alan Shearer was just 22 when he moved from Southampton to Blackburn Rovers for a then British record transfer fee. His time at Blackburn saw him transform into one of the greatest strikers of the Premier League generation, where he scored 30+ league goals in three consecutive seasons. Shearer scored 34 league goals in 1994-95 which helped Blackburn Rovers to a dramatic Premier League title. That same season, Shearer was named Premier League Player of the Year.

1997
In the summer of 1996, Alan Shearer joined boyhood club Newcastle United for a world record fee of £15m. In his first season at Newcastle, Shearer finished as the Premier League’s top goal scorer once again. Despite Newcastle falling short in their quest for title glory, for a third consecutive season, Shearer’s performances stood out. The highlight of the season for Shearer was his late hat-trick against Leicester City to turn around a 3-1 deficit into a 4-3 victory for Newcastle.

2000
In late 1999, Alan Shearer was still performing at the top level for Newcastle. The highlight in the 1999-2000 season saw Shearer smash 5 goals against Sheffield Wednesday in their 8-0 Premier League victory. Despite having his injury troubles, Shearer spent a total of 10 seasons at his boyhood club and amassed a record 260 Premier League goals throughout his career; a total that remains a league record to this day.

✔️ ?? ALESSANDRO DEL PIERO

Alessandro Del Piero (born 9 November 1974) is a retired Italian football legend. He is most known for his time at Juventus, where he was and still is one of the most accomplished and respected players in the club’s history. He made his professional debut with Serie B side Padova in 1992 and in 1993 earned a transfer to Juventus, where he played for 19 seasons. Del Piero was revered for his attacking and creative play. He was most famous for his left sided attacks where he would dribble in from wide, cutting across the edge of the area and curling a finesse shot into the top corner. This was known throughout as the “Del Piero Zone”.

1993
Del Piero began his career at Padova and started to make a name for himself in early 1993. His performances caught the eye of Italian giants Juventus, who secured his signature in the summer. Del Piero didn’t have to wait long for his chance in the first team, making his debut as a substitute in September against Foggia. He came off the bench in the following game to net the first of his 208 league goals to come in the black and white stripes of The Old Lady.

1995
By 1995, Del Piero had established himself as a regular in the Juventus first team and had earned a first international cap in March of that year. There were further reasons for Del Piero to celebrate as he later helped The Old Lady to their first Scudetto in 9 years, as well as capturing the Coppa Italia for a rare double. In November, Del Piero scored his first international goal for the Azzurri in a 4-0 win over Lithuania. His performances in 1995 would earn him a Ballon d’Or nomination.

2006
Del Piero started 2006 in style by netting a hat-trick in a Coppa Italia match against Fiorentina. In doing so he became the all-time leading scorer for Juventus, taking his tally to 185 goals. Now 32, Del Piero was named in Italy’s 2006 FIFA World Cup™ squad. He made 5 appearances in the tournament, scoring the second goal in the semi-final, before fulfilling his boyhood dream of lifting the World Cup trophy as Italy beat France 5-3 on penalties, with Del Piero scoring the fourth.

✔️ ?? ALESSANDRO NESTA

Alessandro Nesta (born 19 March 1976) is considered one of the best Italian defenders in history. Nesta joined his local side Lazio at the age of 9 and eventually made his first team debut in 1994. After establishing himself as one of the best defenders in the country, financial troubles meant Lazio had to sell Nesta for just over €30m to AC Milan. Nesta was named Italian defender of the year from 2000 to 2004, and despite suffering injury at the tournament, he was a World Cup winner in 2006 with Italy.

1998
Alessandro Nesta graduated through Lazio’s youth ranks to become captain of the club in his early twenties. The defender picked up his first silverware after scoring the winner in the 1998 Coppa Italia final, one of only 13 career goals. The following year, Lazio won their only continental competitions so far, as Nesta lifted the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and European Super Cup. The 1999-2000 season marked the pinnacle of his time in Rome, as he led his club to a historic league and cup double.

2003
Renowned by many as the best centre-half in the world, AC Milan signed Alessandro Nesta for just over €30 million and immediately reaped the rewards. His debut season climaxed with the first ever all-Italian Champions League final. The Milan defence held off Juventus for 120 minutes, and Nesta’s converted penalty in the shootout helped Milan lift the trophy. Domestically, the Italian international’s performances won him the accolade of Serie A defender of the year for the fourth season in a row.

2006
An injury-hit season didn’t prevent Alessandro Nesta from making a telling contribution in AC Milan’s Champions League 2006-07 triumph, returning in time to help secure passage through the later rounds. Still smarting after a remarkable comeback defeat at the hands of Liverpool two years earlier, Milan earned the opportunity to avenge that loss in the final. Nesta’s assured performance helped his team to a 2-1 victory over Liverpool, and he lifted the trophy for the second time.

✔️ ?? ANDRIY SHEVCHENKO

Andriy Shevchenko (born 29 September 1976) is a retired Ukrainian striker. Shevchenko started his career at Dynamo Kyiv and scored an average of one goal every two games, helping Kyiv win five consecutive league titles. Shevchenko was known for having everything – pace, power, two great feet and strong aerial ability. These strengths led Milan to pay a then-record fee of €25m for his services, which he repaid by scoring 175 goals in 322 appearances during two spells with the Italian giants. Shevchenko later won the Ballon d’Or in 2004, and captained Ukraine in the 2006 World Cup finals.

Andriy Shevchenko made his Dynamo Kyiv debut in 1994. He helped his side to the league title the very next season having established himself as a regular in the side. A famous hat trick against Barcelona in the Champions League in 1997-98 helped Kyiv defeat the European heavyweights 4-0. Shevchenko scored 25 goals in 33 games that season, followed by 28 goals the season after. By the time he left, Shevchenko had won the league title 5 times in 5 seasons with Dynamo Kyiv.

2004
AC Milan made Andriy Shevchenko their record signing for $25m in 1999. Having won the Champions League in 2002-03, the following season Shevchenko finished the Serie A top goal scorer with 24 goals as Milan won their first title for 5 years. The season after he scored the winning goal in the Super Cup victory over Porto, followed by a hat trick against Lazio as Milan won the Italian Super Cup. Shevchenko won the Ballon d’Or in 2004, and remains as Ukraine’s record goal scorer to this day.

2006
Andriy Shevchenko was snapped up by Chelsea for a British record £30m in 2006, having established himself as one of the most prolific forwards in Europe. His hardworking, energetic style appealed to fans as he took the number 7 shirt at his new club. Shevchenko scored on his debut in the FA Community Shield against Liverpool, and despite being hampered with injuries, he was still able to star in the 2007 League Cup final, where Chelsea defeated Arsenal.

✔️ ? ??????? BOBBY MOORE

Bobby Moore (born 12 April 1941) is regarded as English football’s greatest hero. A centre-back by trade, Moore’s game was typified by his exceptional composure and defensive intuition. He was known for being a world-class defender, leader, icon and a true champion. Made captain of his country at 22, Moore led his club side, West Ham United to domestic and European silverware in 1964 and 1965 respectively, before taking England to glory on home soil in the 1966 World Cup. Bobby Moore’s legacy – both as a footballer and as a man – lives on today, and will do for generations to come.

1964
A young Bobby Moore broke into the West Ham United team in the late 50’s, and soon became captain for the club he would represent for more than a decade. The defender earned a reputation as an intelligent, composed Number 6 with an excellent ability to read the game, and became a mainstay in the England team. He led his club to their first major domestic and continental cup successes, as the Hammers won the FA Cup in 1964 and the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1965.

1966
The 1966 FIFA World Cup™ was held in England and led to the country’s only major international success. Captained by Bobby Moore, the hosts were defensively superb, not conceding until the semi-final. Wembley was the venue for the final, West Germany were the opposition and history was made, with Moore providing two assists to his West Ham team-mate Geoff Hurst as England won 4-2 after extra time. The defender was named in the All-star team of the tournament for his performances.

1970
Bobby Moore embarked on his final years at West Ham as an idol for both club and country, as well as the 1970 Ballon d’Or runner-up after again impressing on the world stage for England. He was awarded his testimonial for the Hammers shortly after. The defenders’ consistency and dedication led to him breaking numerous records, at the time claiming the all-time West Ham appearance record, as well as becoming England’s most capped player. He still holds the record for most England games as captain.

2002
Carles Puyol broke into the first team in the early 2000s, and by 2002, he had established himself as a key member of the Barcelona defence. His performances for Barça throughout 2002 earned Puyol a place in that year’s UEFA Team of the Year, having been named as the standout right-back. Puyol also became a regular in the Spain national team at this stage, and helped his country to a quarter final place at the 2002 FIFA World Cup™.

2008
In 2008, Puyol played a key role as Spain conceded just 2 goals on their way to winning Euro 2008. Puyol battled through injuries the following season but was still able to make 28 league appearances, scoring 1 goal; his only goal coming in an unforgettable El Clásico as Barça thrashed rivals Real Madrid 6-2 in the Bernabéu. This victory all but sealed the La Liga title before Puyol would captain his side to victory in the Supercopa and the Champions League to complete a historic treble.

2010
By 2010, Puyol had established himself as one of the best centre-backs in the world. Puyol played an integral part in Barça’s success around this time, helping the team to win an unprecedented sextuple in 2009. Puyol helped Barça to retain the La Liga and Supercopa titles the following season, before going on to win the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ with Spain, scoring the only goal in a semi-final win over Germany. He finished 2010 with his sixth and final UEFA Team of the Year selection.

✔️ ? ?? CHRISTIAN VIERI

Christian Vieri (born 12 July 1973 in Bologna) is a former Italian striker whose glittering career saw him play for 13 different club teams and score almost 200 senior league goals. After successful spells in Spain and Italy, Internazionale paid a then world record £32 million fee for the striker, who repaid in kind by scoring 103 league goals in just 143 appearances. Vieri was named Italian footballer of the Year in 1999 and 2002 and went on to set the record for the most headed goals scored in Serie A, thanks to his incredible strength and aerial ability.

After scoring 9 goals in 21 games for Atalanta, Christian Vieri was snapped up by Juventus for €2.5m. He quickly made his mark as the club won the UEFA Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup in 1996. He scored a total of 14 goals in his debut season and was Juventus’ top goal scorer, helping guide them to the league title as well as the Champions League final. Vieri finished his Juventus career after 1 season with 3 trophies to his name.

1998
After an impressive 29 goals in 32 games for Atletico Madrid and 5 goals at the 1998 FIFA World Cup™, Christian Vieri signed for Lazio for €25m.

He was named Serie A Footballer of the Year in 1999, and his prolific goal scoring record led to Vieri being regarded as one of the best Italian strikers of all time.

2003
Christian Vieri signed for Internazionale in 1999 for a world record fee of €49m. He went on to spend 6 seasons with the club, scoring an impressive 46 goals in two years between 2001 and 2003, and finishing as the league’s top goal scorer in 2002-03. His partnership with Hernan Crespo was lethal, firing Inter to the Champions League semi-final in 2002-03. His blend of power and pace earned him the nickname Il Toro (The Bull).

✔️ ? ?? CLARENCE SEEDORF

Clarence Seedorf (born 1 April 1976 ) was a Surinamese-born Dutch professional football, regarded by many as one of the best midfielders of his generation. He won several domestic and continental titles while playing for clubs in the Netherlands, Spain, Italy and Brazil. He is also considered one of the most successful players in UEFA Champions League history, as he is the first, and currently the only, player to have won the Champions League with three clubs. At international level, he represented the Netherlands on 87 occasions, and took part at three UEFA European Football Championships (1996, 2000, 2004) and the 1998 FIFA World Cup, reaching the semi-finals of the latter three tournaments.

Clarence Seedorf began his career with Ajax, making his debut in 1992 at just 16 years of age. He helped the club to a domestic treble in 1993-94 as they won the Eredivisie title, KNVB Cup and Dutch Super Cup. Another trophy treble followed in 1994-95 as Seedorf played a vital role in retaining the Eredivisie and Dutch Super Cup. The crowning moment of his season came as Ajax lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy, the first European trophy of Seedorf’s career.

1996
In 1996, Clarence Seedorf joined Real Madrid following one season with Sampdoria and was a virtual ever-present over the following three seasons. His first season with Los Blancos proved to be successful as Seedorf helped the club finish two points above rivals Barcelona to regain the 1996-97 LaLiga title. The following season Seedorf collected his second UEFA Champions League winners medal, helping Real Madrid to lift the prestigious European Cup for the first time in 32 years.

2006
Clarence Seedorf joined Milan in 2002 from city rivals Inter. He made history in his first season when he became the first player to win the UEFA Champions League with three different clubs. He later lifted the trophy for a fourth time at the end of the 2006-07 season, with further success coming in 2007 as Seedorf helped The Rossoneri win the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup. His performances in 2007 earned him a place in the UEFA Team of the Year.

✔️ ? ?? CLAUDE MAKELELE

Claude Makelele (born 18 February 1973) was a French international for 13 years, and was part of the France national team which reached the final of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Regarded as one of the greatest ever players in his position, Makélélé has been credited with redefining the defensive midfield role in English football. In his playing career, which ended at Paris Saint-Germain, Makélélé also played for Nantes, Marseille, Celta de Vigo, Real Madrid and Chelsea. He won league titles in France, Spain and England, as well as the 2001–02 UEFA Champions League during his time with Real Madrid.

Claude Makélélé joined Nantes at the age of 18 in December 1991 and soon began to make a name for himself. He spent 6 years with the club, with the highlight being the 1994-95 title-winning campaign. With just one defeat all season, a young Makélélé collected his first ever silverware as Nantes finished 10 points clear of second-placed Lyon. His performances for Nantes helped Makélélé progress to the French national team squad and he made his debut for France just two months later.

2001
In 2000, Claude Makélélé moved from Galician club Celta Vigo to Spanish giants Real Madrid. Perhaps underappreciated at times, Makélélé’s performances in front of the back four were lauded by his teammates as the club won an impressive array of trophies during his three seasons in Madrid. He helped Real win LaLiga in 2000-01 and 2002-03, although the UEFA Champions League win in 2001-02 was arguably the highlight of an extremely successful spell in Makélélé’s career.

2005
Having revolutionised the defensive midfielder role in English football, Claude Makélélé was a key figure behind Chelsea’s success in the mid-2000s. Providing solid defensive support for the team to allow Chelsea’s attackers to roam forward, Makélélé won his first Premier League title in 2004-05 and was rewarded with a place in the FIFPro World XI. The success continued the following season as Chelsea retained their Premier League crown comfortably.

David Trezeguet (born 15 October 1977) began his career in Argentina with Club Atlético Platense and one season later he transferred to Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, where he would form a striking partnership with international teammate Thierry Henry. However, it was playing for Juventus when he won more trophies.

1997
David Trezeguet is one of the most prominent examples of world class attackers that have risen through the ranks at AS Monaco. From the 1997-98 season onwards, the Frenchman proved his abilities, most notably his instinct in front of goal, by helping his side win the Trophée des Champions and two Ligue 1 titles. Trezeguet was also included in France’s legendary 1998 FIFA World Cup™ winning team at 20 years of age, scoring his first goal for Les Bleus in the group stage of the tournament.

2000
Having already enjoyed tremendous international success with Les Bleus by winning the FIFA World Cup™ in their home country two years before, the UEFA European Football Championship win in 2000 marked another special moment in David Trezeguet’s career. Italy looked set to be crowned champions of Europe until Trezeguet’s introduction late in the game, when he set up Sylvain Wiltord’s last minute equalizer, before sealing the title by scoring the Golden Goal with a thumping left-footed volley.

2002
David Trezeguet’s performance during Juventus’ 2001-02 Serie A winning season is considered by many to be his best during a successful decade with the club. Combining his incredible physical ability with his natural instinct for goal, he scored 32 goals in all competitions that season, including an impressive 8 goals in the UEFA Champions League. Trezeguet’s brilliance throughout the campaign saw him finish as joint top scorer and named Serie A Footballer of the Year.

✔️ ?? DECO

Deco (born 27 August 1977) is a retired, Brazilian-born, Portuguese attacking midfielder. Despite his upbringing in Brazil, Deco ended up in Portugal at the age of 19 and soon joined Porto where he made his name on the world stage. After five highly successful years at Porto, Deco made a big money switch to Barcelona and was named Ballon d’Or runner up later that same year. After a later spell at Chelsea, Deco ended his career at Fluminense in his native Brazil. It looks that he will keep playing at least for another season, as one of the FIFA 19 Icons.

2004
Deco joined Porto in 1999 and became a key member of the team after the appointment of José Mourinho, taking the club to unprecedented domestic and continental success. A UEFA Cup victory completed a treble in 2002-03, followed a year later with another league triumph and Champions League victory. The assist machine sealed his time at Porto with a man of the match performance and goal in the 3-0 victory against Monaco in the final, and was named the UEFA Club Footballer of the Year.

2006
Days after Portugal competed in the Euro 2004 final, Barcelona secured Deco’s signature. He slotted in seamlessly, pulling the strings in a midfield three, and picked up a league winners medal in his first season at the club. Season number two surpassed the achievements of the first, as the Spanish giants clinched a league and Champions League double, with Deco earning rave reviews from the Barcelona faithful.

2010
With a decade of experience under his belt, Deco embarked on his second season at Stamford Bridge under new manager Carlo Ancelotti. The midfielder made a telling contribution as they became the first Chelsea team to win the domestic double, bagging over 100 league goals in the process. The Portuguese international struggled with injuries over the course of the season, but when fit provided craft and guile for the big games.

✔️ ?? DENNIS BERGKAMP

Dennis Bergkamp (born 10 May 1969) is a technically gifted, former Dutch striker most famed for his spells with his home town Ajax and later at English side Arsenal. Nicknamed “The non-flying Dutchman” due to his fear of flying, Bergkamp’s career really took off at Ajax in the early 1990s when he scored 75 goals in just 91 league appearances. Bergkamp later moved to England where he joined Arsenal and became a key member of Arsenal’s “Invincibles” side. He is also remembered for scoring one of the greatest Premier League goals of all time against Newcastle in 2002.

1990
In the late 1980s and early 90s, Dennis Bergkamp made a big name for himself in Holland. After cementing his place as a key player in Ajax’s first team, Bergkamp enjoyed several successful seasons. He was a vital part of the Ajax side that won the Eredivisie title in 1989-90, the UEFA Cup in 1991-92 and the KNVB Cup in 1992-93. Bergkamp was top goalscorer in Holland for three successive seasons between 1990 and 1993, and named Dutch Footballer of the Year in 1991 and 1992.

1995
In the mid-to-late 1990s, Dennis Bergkamp was at the peak of his career. On August 23rd 1997, Bergkamp set the tone for a successful season with his excellent hat-trick against Leicester City. Despite missing the cup final due to injury, Bergkamp was instrumental throughout the season as Arsenal won a Premier League and FA Cup double. His outstanding season was capped off when he was named the PFA Players’ Player of the Year.

1999
In the 2001-02 season, Dennis Bergkamp continued to make a big impact at Arsenal, despite having retired from international football. He featured in 46 matches that season as the Gunners won a Premier League and FA Cup double. The highlight for Bergkamp came on March 2nd 2002 against Newcastle United, when he scored arguably the most famous goal of his career – flicking the ball round Nikos Dabizas before placing the ball into the bottom corner to secure the win.

✔️ ?? DIEGO MARADONA

Diego Maradona (born 30 October 1960 in Buenos Aires) is a retired Argentine footballer. Regarded by many as one of the greatest footballers of all time, Maradona was joint winner of the FIFA Player of the 20th Century award. During a career which included spells in Argentina, Spain and Italy, Maradona is the only footballer to have twice broken the world record transfer fee when signing for Barcelona and Napoli. Maradona scored 34 goals in 91 appearances for Argentina, winning the 1986 World Cup and the FIFA Goal of the Century award for his second goal against England in 1986. He is one of the greatest FIFA 19 Icons.

1982
Diego Maradona burst onto the scene in the late 1970s, having made his debut for Argentinos Juniors at just 15 years old. He was the league’s top goal-scorer from 1978 until 1980 and his performances earned Maradona a dream move to boyhood favourites Boca Juniors. There, he won the domestic title in 1981 and was called into his first FIFA World Cup™ squad in 1982. His performances at Boca ensured Maradona moved overseas to Barcelona for a then world record fee of around £5m.

1986
Despite missing games through injuries, Maradona managed 38 goals in 58 games at Barcelona and helped them to 3 domestic trophies in 1983. The highlight for Maradona during the mid-80s however was captaining Argentina to FIFA World Cup™ glory in 1986. Maradona played every minute of the tournament, scored arguably the goal of the century, and ended with five goals and five assists – the last assist coming in the final against West Germany to win Argentina the match, and the tournament.

1989
Maradona had his longest club spell with Napoli. There, he dominated Serie A from 1984 until 1991 and captained Napoli in their most successful era. In the 1986-87 season, Maradona’s performances helped Napoli to their first Serie A title and a second followed in 1989-90. He left Napoli as their all-time leading goal scorer with 115 goals. On the international front, Maradona captained Argentina to a second successive FIFA World Cup™ final where they narrowly lost out to West Germany.

✔️ ?? EDWIN VAN DER SAR

Edwin van der Sar (born 29 October 1970) is a retired Dutch goalkeeper regarded as one of the best keepers of all time. A double winner of European silverware and winner of eight league titles with Ajax (4) and Manchester United (4), van der Sar holds the world record for consecutive clean sheets which he set in 2009 by going 1,311 minutes unbeaten. He is the Netherlands’ most capped player with 130 caps, and the only player to receive the Dutch Football Goalkeeper of the Year award over four consecutive seasons.

1995
Edwin van der Sar started his career at a relatively late age, brought in by Ajax as a second-choice goalkeeper. Honing his abilities in the reserves, he bided his time before breaking into the first team as part of the golden generation which dominated domestic football in the mid-1990s. The crowning glory for this great side came in the form of 1995 Champions League glory, as the Dutchman kept a clean sheet in a 1-0 win against Milan.

1999
After a transfer tussle with Manchester United, Edwin van der Sar joined Juventus in 1999, and became their first-choice goalkeeper for the two years he spent at the club. Remarkably, the Dutchman became the first ever non-Italian to play between the sticks for the Turin club. The Old Lady were pipped to the Serie A title in both those seasons, finishing second, but they did hold the best defensive record in the league each year.

2007
By now seen as the complete model goalkeeper, age was just a number as Edwin van der Sar signed for Manchester United to solve their longstanding problem position. His 6-year stay was characterised by clean sheets (not least during a league record spell without conceding) and silverware, including four Premier League winner medals. The iconic moment of his time in Manchester came in the 2007-08 Champions League final against Chelsea, as his penalty save in the shootout won the cup for United.

Emilio Butragueño graduated through Real Madrid’s youth system as part of La Quinta del Buitre, a group of five homegrown stars who would take the club into a period of great success. Butragueño made his debut in February 1984, helping turn around a 0-2 deficit to Cádiz CF with two goals and an assist. The following season, the striker had cemented his place in the team alongside his former Castilla teammates as Madrid regained their European lustre, winning back-to-back UEFA Cups.

1986
Real Madrid experienced a great period of domestic success in the second half of the 1980’s, with Emilio Butragueño leading the line for the club as part of homegrown quintet La Quinta del Buitre. Five consecutive LaLiga titles contributed to half a decade of uninterrupted dominance, starting with the striker’s maiden league trophy in 1985-86, matching Madrid’s own streak in the early 60’s. Butragueño, playing at the top of his game, picked up two Ballon d’Or Bronze Balls in this time.

1996
Emilio Butragueño played a major part in Spain’s 1986 FIFA World Cup™ campaign. It began in qualifying, as he made a goal-scoring international debut in a win against Wales. The Real Madrid striker started the finals off the back of a fruitful domestic campaign, as he helped his boyhood club to league glory. Butragueño scored 5 goals in Mexico, narrowly missing out on the golden boot. His stand-out performance came in the Round of 16, with El Buitre notching a remarkable 4 goals against Denmark.

Emmanuel Petit began his professional career at Monaco, where, at the age of 18, he was spotted by then manager Arsène Wenger. His early days saw Petit play in several positions – at left midfield, centre-back, central midfield and often at left-back. He quickly became a mainstay in the Monaco team, featuring in the 1988-89 Coupe de France final where they narrowly lost 4-3 to Marseille. In 1990, he followed in the footsteps of Didier Deschamps and was named Ligue 1 Rookie of the Year.

1997
In June 1997, Emmanuel Petit moved across the Channel when he left Monaco to join his former manager Arsène Wenger at Arsenal. The move saw Petit play in a deeper role alongside Patrick Vieira and it proved to be a successful change. He won the Premier League and FA Cup double with Arsenal in the 1997-98 season, and, in the summer of 1998, he won the FIFA World Cup™ with France, scoring a memorable goal in the dying minutes of the final against Brazil.

2000
Emmanuel Petit spent a total of three seasons at Arsenal, and the turn of the millennium was an important era in Petit’s career. Domestically, his performances at Arsenal saw Spanish giants Barcelona come calling and he moved overseas in a joint transfer with Arsenal teammate Marc Overmars.

Eusébio made his debut for Benfica in 1960-61 but it was the following season that he made his breakthrough. With his remarkable dribbling ability and clinical nature in front of goal, he quickly gained global recognition for his abilities. Eusébio scored twice in the 1962 European Cup final as Benfica defeated Real Madrid to retain the trophy. Shortly afterwards, he helped Benfica lift the Taça de Portugal. His performances in 1962 saw Eusébio come second in that year’s Ballon d’Or.

1966
After winning the 1965 Ballon d’Or, Eusébio was a household name as one of the most clinical strikers in world football. In the summer of 1966, he featured in his only FIFA World Cup™ where he scored nine goals in seven matches, helping Portugal to the semi-finals. His final goal came in the third-place match against the Soviet Union, which Portugal won 2-1. Eusébio’s nine goals were enough to claim the Golden Boot as the tournament’s top scorer.

1973
Despite being in to his thirties, Eusébio was still one of the top strikers in European football. He proved this in the 1972-73 season when he scored 40 league goals as Benfica went unbeaten to win a third consecutive title. It was even more memorable for Eusébio as it was his tenth domestic league title. His remarkable campaign saw Eusébio earn the 1973 European Golden Boot award. He was also named Portuguese Player of the Year for the second time in his career.

Filippo Inzaghi soared to prominence in his year at Atalanta, becoming Serie A’s top scorer and Young Player of the Season. Juventus soon swooped to secure his signature. He made an instant impact, scoring 18 goals in his first season, including a brace on his debut to help his team collect the 1997 Italian Super Cup and a hat-trick to secure a league-clinching 3-2 victory against Bologna. He continued in this vein for the next three seasons, ending each year as top scorer for the Old Lady.

2003
Filippo Inzaghi began his time at AC Milan in 2001, after a big-money transfer from Juventus. The Italian had honed his craft to become the archetypical goal-poacher supreme, with his predatory instincts and eye for goal striking fear into opposition defences. The Champions League proved to be particularly fertile ground for the striker, with 10 strikes in 2002-03 on the road to an all-Italian final, where they defeated his previous club on penalties.

2007
Filippo Inzaghi had become synonymous with AC Milan by the time the 2007 Champions League final against Liverpool came around. This match was the crowning achievement for the Italian striker, as he helped Milan get revenge for their defeat by the same opposition two years previously. Inzaghi scored both goals in the 2-1 victory to achieve a childhood dream, describing them as ‘’the most important’’ of his life. This famous night cemented his status as a Milan legend.

In a glittering career spanning 20 years, he carved out a reputation as one of the greatest defenders of his generation. At the age of just 22, Baresi was part of the Italy squad who lifted the World Cup in 1982, and later captained the side at the 1994 tournament.

After joining the academy at 14, Franco Baresi made his AC Milan debut in April 1978 at the tender age of 17. He was immediately installed into the first eleven for the following season, playing in the heart of defence. Baresi’s first season was also a resounding success for the Rossoneri, as they won their 10th Serie A title. The Italian’s strong influence was later rewarded, being made Milan captain at 22 years old, a post he held until retirement 15 years later.

1990
Franco Baresi formed part of what is known as one of the greatest defences of all time, playing alongside Italian greats Maldini, Costacurta and Tassotti, as Milan won the 1987-88 Serie A title, conceding only 14 goals. This glorious run of success between 1987 and 1990 saw Milan win Serie A, the Italian Supercoppa and back-to-back European Cups. Baresi was named Serie A Player of the Year for 1989-90, as well as finishing runner up to teammate Marco van Basten for the 1989 Ballon D’or.

1994
Between 1991 and 1994, Franco Baresi captained Milan to three consecutive Serie A titles, including going unbeaten for the whole 1991-92 season, a run lasting an Italian-record 58 games. Baresi won his third Champions League in 1993-94, beating Barcelona 4-0, although he was suspended for the final. Internationally, Baresi captained Italy in the 1994 World Cup™. He unfortunately suffered an injury in the group stage, before making a sensational recovery to lead his side out for the final, keeping a clean sheet against Brazil.

He achieved great success domestically in his seven years at the club, before starring in the Netherlands’ historic Euro 1988 winning team. Rijkaard formed a formidable centre-back pairing with Ronald Koeman, keeping a clean sheet in the final and was named in the UEFA Team of the Tournament.

1990
Having reached great heights as a centre-back, Frank Rijkaard was transformed into a world class defensive midfielder in his time at AC Milan by manager Arrigo Sacchi, who recognised his physical qualities alongside his tactical astuteness and decision making. The Dutchman helped Milan reach the pinnacle of club football by winning the European Cup in 1989, which they successfully defended one year later. The 1990 final was particularly sweet for Rijkaard, scoring the only goal in a 1-0 victory.

1995

He won the league in both seasons, before bowing out in style in Vienna, venue of the 1995 UEFA Champions League Final. Fittingly, Ajax squared off with Milan in his last match before retirement. The contest was tight until Rijkaard found Patrick Kluivert, who prodded home the only goal of the game to ensure the perfect send-off.

After joining Manchester United at the age of 15, George Best quickly impressed, making his debut two years later in 1963. Being incredibly technically gifted, his supernatural dribbling ability and popstar looks led to his overwhelming popularity on and off the field. His fame entered stratospheric levels in 1966, after scoring twice away at Benfica in the European cup quarter-final. Best’s second goal involved a superb run, rounding 3 players, before striking the ball past the goalkeeper.

1968
The 1967-68 season was a defining one for George Best, winning the Division 1 Player of the Year award, and finishing as the league’s top goal scorer. However, Manchester United’s European Cup run allowed the winger to reach the pinnacle of his career, as United faced Benfica in the final at Wembley. Best scored United’s second goal of the game as they beat Benfica 4-1, before a historic year was capped off as he won the Ballon d’Or for 1968, cementing his name in the list of all-time greats.
1970
One of George Best’s finest moments came in an FA Cup game in 1970, as the tricky winger scored a competition-record 6 goals in a match against Northampton Town. Despite playing on a mud-trodden pitch, Best still dazzled, completing a legendary double-hat trick in classic fashion. Through on goal, Best feinted to the keeper’s left. The goalkeeper dived to the floor expecting to collect the ball, however Best had dropped a shoulder, and dribbled the other way to pass into an empty net.

One of his most impressive achievements was leading the club to a famous double in 2005-06, winning both the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia. Now at the mid-point in his career, Zanetti’s excellent stamina and technical ability allowed him to adapt to playing as a midfielder, a position he would excel in for the remainder of his career.

2010
In 2010, Javier Zanetti led Internazionale to the most successful season in their history. Domestically, Inter won their 5th Serie A title in a row, before also lifting the Coppa Italia.

His reputation increased greatly and Spanish giants Barcelona soon came calling.

In 1998 Blanc was arguably at the peak of his career and saw him go down in history at the 1998 FIFA World Cup™ held in his native France. Not only did his performances in defence lead France to conceding just 2 goals throughout the tournament, Le Président was the first player ever to score a ‘golden goal’ in a World Cup when he netted the winner against Paraguay.

✔️ ?? MARC OVERMARS

Marc Overmars (born 29 March 1973) was a Dutch winger who was renowned for his blistering pace and ability. Overmars’ career began in Holland with Go Ahead Eagles and, after a spell at Willem II, he became a household name thanks to his spell at Ajax. His form there earned him a move in 1997 to Arsenal where he helped them to a domestic double in the 1997-98 season. Overmars’ move to Barcelona in July 2000 for a reported £25m was at the time the biggest transfer fee ever for a Dutch player.

1995
After joining Arsenal in 1997, Overmars settled into his new team well and his pace and dribbling quickly made opponents take notice. In particular, his form and goals in key matches during the latter part of the season were crucial to Arsenal toppling Manchester United to win the Premier League. They later secured the double by winning the FA Cup, where Overmars scored the opening goal in the final. This was topped off by a man of the match performance in the 1998 FA Charity Shield win.

1998
Dutch winger Marc Overmars won the Eredivisie in three consecutive seasons during his five year career at Ajax. His finest season in the Netherlands, however, was undoubtedly the 1994-95 season which saw him help Ajax to lift the Eredivisie title and the Champions League, scoring against Bayern München in the semi-final. Ajax also won the 1995 Intercontinental Cup, beating Grêmio on penalties. 1995 also saw Overmars hit an international hat-trick during the 4-0 Dutch win away to Malta.

2000
In the summer of 2000, Overmars joined Spanish giants Barcelona in a joint move with Arsenal teammate Emmanuel Petit. The fee of £25 million for Overmars meant he became the most expensive Dutch footballer in history – a record that was held for nearly 15 years. Known for his incredible pace, dribbling ability and two footedness, Overmars was a constant thorn in defenders’ sides. His first season at Barcelona saw him finish with 8 goals and 31 league appearances.

2000
Marcel Desailly won an impressive 116 caps for France during his illustrious career, and the pinnacle of his international career came in 1998.

Rio Ferdinand began his career at West Ham and quickly carved out a reputation as a classy, ball-playing centre back. Ferdinand became the world’s most expensive defender when he moved to Leeds United in November 2000. He spent two successful years with Leeds, becoming club captain in 2001. Ferdinand’s international reputation also grew and he was one of England’s first choice centre backs at the 2002 FIFA World Cup™. Financially stricken Leeds sold Ferdinand to Manchester United for a British record one month later.

2006
During the mid-2000s, Rio Ferdinand had established himself as one of the world’s best defenders of his generation and was a key part of Manchester United’s success in this period. His first goal came in 2005 against Wigan and he scored a last-minute winner against rivals Liverpool in January 2006. One year later, United won the Premier League – the first of three successive titles of which Ferdinand was an integral part.

2008
Rio Ferdinand was a key part of Manchester United’s success in the late 2000s and had formed a formidable centre back partnership with Nemanja Vidić in this period. Rio won 6 Premier League titles in his spell at United, but perhaps his greatest honour was captaining United in the 2007-08 Champions League final where they defeated English opponents Chelsea. Ferdinand was named England’s captain for the 2010 World Cup, but unfortunately had to withdraw before the tournament began due to injury.

2004
Robert Pirès joined Arsenal in 2000 with big shoes to fill after Marc Overmars’ departure. However, his six season stay brought Pirès and Arsenal much success. They won the Premier League in 2001-02 and his performances on the left were a big part in Arsenal’s 2003-04 title-winning season in which they remained unbeaten and were dubbed the ‘Invincibles’. Pirès also won two FA Cup medals during his highly successful time at Arsenal.

2010
After joining Villarreal in May 2006, Robert Pirès went about proving that he could still be a force in European football. He didn’t disappoint during a four year stay which saw him switch to a central playmaker role.

Later that year he moved to Real Madrid for yet another world record fee and received his second Ballon d’Or soon after.

    Why isn’t beckenbauer in the game he was the highest rated defender in Fifa 17 and most of the legends from that game have returned.

  2. Hi Rodrigo, can you correct the image of Kluivert? It’s showing Maldini.
    Thanks and keep up the good work.

      1. thanks for doing the list i mean’t to ask if you were going to fill in the blank boxes with the year of each card i like to use icons from the same year where possible

  3. I’m missing some players like Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Sheringham, Andy Cole and Yorke, Solskjaer…
    These are just a few of the many players.
    But also keep hope one day the second Dutch division will be in FIFA.
    Stadiums like De Kuip (Feyenoord) Philips (PSV)
    and Barcelona stadion would make FIFA compleet, makes playing also Champions League or Europa League more compleet… But have to say that what is already in FIFA 18 and confirmed for FIFA 19 is very good… But keep hope for more leagues and stadiums

  4. Kingdom of animaria

    Will ea release more icons or is that the final list? becuase there are rumours indicating there is gonna be 69 icons making it a total of 207 for all three cards including new icons such as scorates trezguet and klose while all the rest of the legends from previous fifas return.

  5. We need Totti as an icon. There is no one more iconic. Him an Zidane are like the most obvious players to become icons. Not Gerrard and lampard

  6. I need to konw ……icon in fifa 19 ……Davis ….or sedorf….batycoal …nestory
