Striker: Pele(Brazil)
Pele is the only footballer to have won 3 World Cups. He appeared in 4 World Cups and scored 12 goals but mere statistics would not be able to do justice to his incomparable talent and impact on the game. Since winning the World Cup as a gawky 17-year old in 1958, Pele has quite possibly remained the most famous footballer of all time. Pele scored 6 goals in that tournament including 2 in the final and became a household name after that. He could not play more than 2 matches in the 1962 World Cup because of an injury but Brazil managed to win it. Pele again got injured in the 1966 World Cup and Brazil got eliminated in the quarter-final.
However, he made amend in the 1970 World Cup by scoring 4 goals and winning the trophy again for his nation. Pele and his Brazil were imperious in that tournament. He opened the floodgates by scoring the opening goal in the 4-1 final win against Italy. Thus, the greatest player in the history left an incomparable legacy at the greatest stage of them all.
