#3 Hristo Stoichkov (Bulgaria & Barcelona)
Hristo Stoichkov is considered to be one of the top forwards to have played in his generation. He joined Barcelona in 1990 and was a part of Johan Cruyff’s “Dream Team” that won four consecutive league titles and one Champions League title.
He led Bulgaria to a fourth place finish at the 1994 World Cup, scoring six goals and hence awarded the World Cup Golden Shoe. He also received the World Cup Bronze Ball, an honour for the third best player at the World Cup.
He won the 1994 Ballon d’Or for his heroics for both club and country. His individual honours also include five Bulgarian Footballer of the Year awards and runner-up for the FIFA World Player of the Year award twice.
