#2 Francisco Gento
The only player in the history of the game to win six European cups, Francisco Gento was a pacy winger who was an integral part of the most succesful team in Real Madrid’s history.
Gento was known for his remarkable pace and is considered by many to be the fastest player to ever play. At his peak, Gento was clocked to have run 100 metres in 10.9 seconds with the ball.

Gento was a very smart player who always managed to beat the offside trap. Because of his phenomenal pace, he almost always got the ball first, and ran through to put a team-mate in on goal, or score himself.
The number of trophies Gento won with Madrid is simply astonishing: 12 La Liga titles, 2 Copa del Reys, 6 European Cups, 1 Intercontinental Cup and 2 Latin cups. It is safe to say Gento is one of the greatest signings of all time.
