Aside from his turbulent spell at Chelsea (and the subsequent loan move to AC Milan), Andriy Shevchenko was a true legend of the beautiful game.

In all, the Ukrainian hero bagged over 200 club goals, from his time at Dynamo Kyiv back in 1994 all the way up to the day he retired in 2012, incidentally, also at Kyiv.

Plus, he spent a profitable seven years at AC Milan where he scored 127 goals in 208 Serie A games. That's because Shevchenko was a special footballer who sprinkled magic on the game with the way he tirelessly poached goals inside the 18-yard box.

At the start of the millennium, Sheva was rumoured to be on the brink of a mega-money blockbuster move to Barcelona as the likes of Fabio Cannavaro and Alessandro Nesta were also linked to a move from Italy to Spain, but the chequebook was never put to use to bring the striker aboard the Catalan club.
