Pele

Pele quite possibly remains the finest footballer of all time and also the greatest striker ever. He scored more than 600 goals for his beloved club Santos and made them the best club in the world in the 1960s. He won the Intercontinental cup twice for Santos by beating Inter Milan and Benfica respectively. He also won the Brazilian league numerous times for Santos.

Pele also remains the only footballer to have won three World Cups. He became famous after the 1958 World Cup that Brazil won, as he had scored six goals in it including a brace in the final. He again made his mark in the 1970 World Cup by scoring four goals including one against Italy in the final. Pele finished with 77 goals from 92 international matches. He was also a complete footballer with no apparent weakness. He could shoot well with both his feet, was a brilliant dribbler and passer and great header. There has been none quite like him in the history of the game.
