#1 Garrincha
Brazilian football legend Garrincha was nicknamed “The King of Dribble”, and aptly so. He had a connection with the ball that many won’t be able to comprehend unless they see footage of his sublime skills at play. His close ball control and ability to do impossible things with the ball deserve even more praise when you factor in the difficult playing conditions and state of the grounds during his playing days.
Considered by many as the greatest dribbler ever to grace the football field, Garrincha had an air of confidence with the ball and an audacious nature that have never been replicated. He would not only beat his man but humiliate him time and again, shattering all his confidence.
While most greats are remembered for their goals, Garrincha’s legend will always be attributed to his sublime touches and stupendous dribbles.
