5 of the most powerful footballers in the world

#3 Hulk

Hulk - the name says it all.

He was so strong they named him Hulk, enough said. Givanildo Vieira de Sousa is known best for his hammer of a left foot, which could lift the roof of the net with ease. Hulk has scored plenty of long-range stunners for Porto and Zenit and is quite skillful on the ball aswell.

Playing as an inverted winger, Hulk impresses us with his footballing ability just as much as he does with his power.

He has 47 caps for Brazil, and you can't get anywhere close to that number unless you're a very, very good footballer.

His strength was once so talked about, that Zenit made a satirical video showing-off his abilities!
