Ranking the top 10 players who revolutionised football

#2 Pele

Pele is unarguably the greatest footballer of all time

The eternal deity of football. Footballers have impacted their societies in different ways, but none may have done it as good as the Brazilian.

With his innate goalscoring skills and out-of-the-world craft of beating defenders with myriads of tricks, Pele bought more than just joy to the world. He stopped a war.

Back in 1969 when he played for his beloved Santos, the club travelled parts of Nigeria during the times of the Biafran war. A ceasefire of 48 hours was agreed upon so as to allow people to watch O Rei displaying his godliness on the pitch.

It was strange because the whole country was divided and in conflict. But as soon as they found out the game was to take place that was put on hold. It was a tiny pitch, I remember it well, the people arrived carrying chairs on their heads in order to watch the game. - Lima, his teammate in Santos

Pele also played a massive role in popularising the sport that he branded as the beautiful game when he joined New York Cosmos in 1975. He is definitely the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT) for all that he did on the pitch.

Last but not the least - 1281 goals in 1363 games over 22 years. Just how dare we not talk about those numbers?
