That dispute normally centres on four or five well-known international players whose exploits on the football field have become the stuff of legend. In fact, they are so famous that fans need only mention their first name, surname, or nickname and everyone knows who they're talking about: Cruyff, Messi, Pele, Maradona, Ronaldo.

All are (or have been) household names across the world: prodigious strikers with record-breaking careers.
