Not only is former Belgian striker Luc Nilis underrated, but unlucky, too. Nilis’ career was cut short by an injury in the 5th minute of his third game for Aston Villa after an impressive spell at PSV Eindhoven where he scored beautiful goals for fun.

Considered by both Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy as their “best strike partner”, we can’t really do more than dream about what could have been while we hit replay on his YouTube highlight reel. Nilis represented his country 56 times, scoring 10 goals.
