Eusebio was the greatest footballer to be born in Portugal, until the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. He was right there in the upper echelon consisting of Pele, Diego Maradona, and George Best.

The Portuguese legend wore the number 13 for Portugal in the 1966 World Cup. They finished in the third place that year, which was their best ever result in the competition to this day.

But, that's not all. The Mozambique-born striker scored a tally of nine goals in that tournament, with four of them coming in a 5-3 quarterfinal win over North Korea.

To this date, Eusebio remains the only player to win an individual award in the tournament, wearing a number 13 shirt. He won the golden boot for being the World Cup top scorer.
