#4 Eusebio
Country: Portugal
World Cups played: 1966
Best finish: Third place, 1966
Before the world was raving about a Portuguese attacker named Cristiano Ronaldo, it was fairly assumed that no Portuguese player will ever be considered better than Eusebio. One of the most legendary players that the sport has ever seen, Eusebio is a former Ballon d'Or winner. He played in just one World Cup but left a mark as he ended the cup as top scorer with 9 goals.
Eusebio was a part of the Portuguese team that weren't necessarily fancied to get out of the group stage, as they had to contest with a Brazil team that had won the previous two cups, and the always dangerous Hungarians.
They won every match in their group and eliminated favourites Brazil to move into the latter stages. They rode their momentum until the semi-finals, where eventual winners, England eliminated them. They beat Germany for third place, but this would be the only World Cup that the great Eusebio would play. It is a shame that a player of his calibre could never win this competition.
