4) Maradona – Napoli
Diego Maradona considered one of the greatest players of all time, and even the greatest ever by some was renowned for his ability to win matches on his own. So it is inevitable when a player of that caliber joins a relatively smaller club that people remember the player more than the club itself.
When Maradona arrived at the club in 1984, Napoli hadn't won a single Serie A title. When he left in 1991, they won the only two titles they can boast of in their entire history. That was the impact Maradona had in Naples.

He is also the club’s top goalscorer of all time after he only took 260 appearances to complete that task. He has achieved legendary status in football, but Napoli fans consider him as a God because he gave them something no player in the history of the club ever could and has ever since.
The debate about who the best footballer of all time is will go on for eternity, but ask Napoli fans what memory they cherish the most it will be of the Argentine gliding on the blades of grass at Stadio San Paolo.
