3. Diego Forlan
Diego Forlan is one of the most underrated strikers of all time, having played creditably for a number of clubs in Europe. He played for Manchester United for some seasons, but managed to win the European Golden Shoe twice while playing in LaLiga.
Forlan joined Villarreal in 2004 and won the Golden Shoe in the 2004-05 season by scoring 25 goals for them. He became the first Villarreal player to do so, but had to share the award with Arsenal’s Thierry Henry. However, his club could not win any silverware in spite of his exploits.
Forlan joined Atletico Madrid in 2007 and again won the prestigious award in the 2008-09 season by scoring 35 goals in 45 matches. Forlan’s achievements are remarkable considering the fact that he played for two smaller clubs and still won the award.
Forlan was a complete striker with great opportunism, aerial prowess and shooting power. He scored a lot of important goals too and remained a big match player throughout his career.
