Controversial, cheat, cunning, these are some of the unflattering terms used to describe Luis Suarez, owing to his numerous shenanigans throughout his career, but for all of his detractors, there is no denying that Luis Suarez has arguably been the standout striker in the world over the last decade.

A scorer of amazing goals and also a great goalscorer, the 32-year-old has a repertoire of goals, ranging from audacious flicks and stunning screamers to downright goal poaching and it is a testament to his abilities that he remains at this level despite so many years at the top.

Till date, he remains the only player in history to have won a Golden Boot in the Netherlands, Spanish and English top flights, while also having the unique distinction of being the only man to have beaten the eternal duo of Messi and Ronaldo to a European Golden Boot in the last decade (he did it on two occasions, although 2014 was jointly shared with Ronaldo).

Suarez is also Uruguay's all-time record goalscorer with 55 goals from 106 appearances, helping his nation to its recent resurgence including lifting the 2011 Copa America (where he was named Player of The Tournament).

With 443 goals from 699 official matches, Suarez is the 4th highest scoring active player and you can be sure that he would continue to score goals for fun for some years to come.
