#1 Luis Suarez Miramontes
Trending
The original Luis Suarez of Barcelona was a midfielder and on Spanish decent often cited to be amongst the most talented players to have ever laid foot in professional football. Known for his flair, panache and fluidity when on the ball, Luisitio – as he was called – was a joy to watch.
He made 122 appearances for the club in all competitions winning six trophies in that time and scoring 61 goals in all competitions. Suarez was an attacking midfielder by trade and was often the one who made the attack tick with his through-balls and subtle shoulder drops.
The Spaniard also won the coveted Ballon d’Or award in 1960 during his time with FC Barcelona. But the story for him with the club ended on a rather poor note having been a part of the side that lost the European Cup final, 3-2, to SL Benfica in 1961.
