Jean-Marie Pfaff

From 1976 to 1987, Jean-Marie Pfaff made 64 appearances for Belgium and was at the center of their 80’s success. Pfaff is also just one of three Belgian players to be selected by Pelé in his personal list of 100 greatest living footballers. Now that’s high praise.

Gareth Bale

The six time Welsh Footballer of the Year makes the list. He made his international 2006, making him (at that time) the youngest player to represent Wales. Since, he has racked up 70 caps and 29 goals, which also makes him Wales’ highest scorer of all time. Bale played for Tottenham Hotspur for six years before moving to Real Madrid.
