#2 Majed Ahmed Abdullah
The “Arabian Jewel,” Majed Ahmed Abdullah is one of the most prolific scorers in the history of Asian football. He scored 260 goals in 240 league appearances in his 20-year career with Al-Nassr and is still the Saudi Arabia national team’s top scorer, with 71 goals.
Abdullah’s list of personal and collective accolades is a long one. He was a three-time Asian Player of the Year and won numerous league and cup competitions with Al-Nassr, in addition to two Asian Cups with Saudi Arabia. The IFFHS named him third in their list of the best Asian player of the 20th century, while beIN Sports assigned him the title of Arabian Player of the Century.
The wider world didn’t get to see much of Abdullah, although he did get to enjoy Saudi Arabia’s first World Cup appearance in 1994, playing in the first half of their group stage matches against Belgium and the Netherlands as a 35-year-old nearing the end of his career.
A bumper crowd of 70,000 squeezed into the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh to pay tribute to their hero in a match organised in his honour in 2008 - 10 years after his retirement.
