#6 Johan Neeskens (Midfielder)
The maestro and the embodiment of 'Total Football', Johan Neeskens is widely considered the unvalued player in Holland's golden-era of football. The Dutch throughout the 1970s were known for their playing style that saw them reach the World Cup final on two occasions.

In 1978, Neeskens carried the Dutch side -- without Johan Cruyff -- to a second consecutive World Cup final before being outdone by the home nation, Argentina. A creative midfielder formerly, Neeskens had the versatility to play anywhere across the midfield and regularly unlocked defences who aimed to shut out the Dutch.
Like numerous players on this list, Neeskens gathered success at both Ajax and Barcelona alongside Cruyff and remains one of few players to have achieved three successive European Cup successes.
