Messi 2nd, Zidane 4th… the 11 most whimsical players in soccer history.

1. Ronaldinho

Ronaldinho was the artist par excellence, his sophisticated footwork and samba skills making him popular with almost everyone.

2. Lionel Messi

Soccer fans won’t go a week without Lionel Messi doing something incredible. In the space of just five days this month, the Barcelona star played brilliantly against Inter Milan and scored a magnificent free-kick against Sevilla.

3. Jay-Jay Okocha

So good, they called him Jay twice. Former PSG star Jay-Jay Okocha was capable of doing brilliant things with a soccer ball.

4. Zinedine Zidane

The last image we have of Zinedine Zidane on a soccer pitch is his headbutt on Italy’s Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final. But first and foremost, Zidane is a football artist.

5. Adel Taarabt

The streets will never forget Adel Taarabt. The Moroccan possesses enormous ability, and if he hasn’t managed to turn all that talent into a truly remarkable career, Taarabt remains a true entertainer.

6. René Higuita

René Higuita has been nicknamed El Loco – “The Madman” – and with good reason. Few players are as daring as Higuita. His coaches may have shielded their eyes, but he couldn’t wait to watch.

7. Dennis Bergkamp

The Dutchman was an artist. The former Arsenal striker scored incredible goals for club and country, but his all-round game, which included many near-impossible passes, made him a superb teammate.

8. George Best

Balance. The finesse The speed. Do yourself a favor and watch a George Best video on YouTube. You won’t regret it.

9. Mario Balotelli

Mario Balotelli’s story is a crazy one. Whether it’s upsetting every Manchester United player, attempting a shot back when a simple strike would have sufficed, or pulling up his shirt after scoring to reveal a ‘Why always me?”, it’s a shame Balotelli isn’t in the limelight anymore.

10. Eric Cantona

The Frenchman is one of the most famous players to wear the No.7 shirt in Manchester United’s history. Old Trafford will never forget Mercury’s genius, which prompted him to throw a kung fu kick at Crystal Palace fan Matthew Simmons in 1995.

11. Ronaldo Nazario

If it weren’t for injuries, Ronaldo Nazario would be a more GOAT choice. With breathtaking footwork and he was fascinating to watch.
