#3 Socrates
The Brazilian was a legendary playmaker for the Samba Boys and appeared in 60 games for his country, scoring 22 times. Often featured in lists which talk about great international stars with no World Cup, Socrates is even more unfortunate. He did not have any major domestic honours to speak off as well!

Ranked the 61st Greatest Player in the 20th Century by FIFA and the winner of the South American Player of the Year in 1982, Socrates has much to celebrate about individually. But all his senior trophies came at Regional levels in Brazil and that is the most unfortunate part of his career. He played his football for Brazilian big boys like Flamengo, Corinthians and Santos but failed to appear for a successful side.
Socrates retired in 1999 and had a brief career as a manager in Brazil with not much success.
