#8 Ronaldo Nazario
There was a time when there was only one Ronaldo. The Brazilian was arguably the greatest centre-forward in the game in his prime and scored his goals with some style too.
He was a part of probably the last great Brazil team that epitomised jogo bonito ('beautiful game' in English) and won the FIFA World Cup in 2002 (more on that later), with his close-control and dribbling being particular sights to behold.
#7 Cristiano Ronaldo
Yes, he is a perennial GOAT contender who continues to amaze with his physical prowess and longevity, but Cristiano Ronaldo ranks a little lower on the entertainment scale because of the machine-like precision that sometimes imbues his skill-moves.
That does not mean he is not one of the all-time entertainers of the game; his bicycle kicks and impossible headers serve as a testament to his entertainment quotient.
#6 Pele
Pele burst on to the world stage as a precocious teenager in the 1958 FIFA World Cup by scoring a hat-trick.
It marked the start of something special and the ascent of possibly the greatest footballer of all time. He won three FIFA World Cup titles with the Selecao, all while scoring beautiful goals that still make up the highlight reels in World Cup history.
His skills included signature moves such as the drible da vaca and many feel he intrinsically portrayed all that is beautiful in the game.
#5 Zinedine Zidane
A footballer who could literally make the ball do whatever he wanted to with it, Zinedine Zidane, fondly called 'Zizou', is the greatest footballer to have come out of France and one of the greatest of all time.
Zizou's dribbling and passing left one awe struck, but he also came up with key goals in big games, and many of them were beautiful as well. A World Cup and Champions League winner, Zidane not only won trophies for his team but won them while playing the 'beautiful' game.
