lucho gonzalez porto
Lucho Gonzalez is best remembered for his time at Porto

Lucho is probably the least flamboyant player on this list, but the Argentine is amongst the rare breed of midfielders with an eye for a goal and good long range shooting ability. Additionally he was a hard working player with good passing skills. He spent nine years in Europe with two separate stints with Porto on either side of his time at Marseille.

He last played in the Champions League in the 2013/14 season, where he was the standout performer for a below par Porto side which got knocked out in the Champions League group stage.

Lucho is well known for his fierce shot, passing skills and hardworking style, being affectionately known as El Comandante due to his leadership skills. The veteran Argentine was one of the key players in midfield for both Porto and Marseille in his long and distinguished career.

Lucho who is now 35 is playing for Argentine side River Plate.
