The Glory of No. 7: A list of the seven most legendary players in football history

The

7 jersey is one of the most iconic numbers in football and is traditionally worn by wingers and attacking stars. Legendary stars of all generations are wearing this number, which represents talent, creativity and the influence that changes the game. Here are the seven greatest No. 7 players in football history.

7. Dalglish (1969–1990)

Dalglish, nicknamed "King Kenny", is a legend of the Celtics and Liverpool teams. After winning numerous trophys in Scotland, he joined Liverpool and played a key role throughout the 1980s reign.

Daglish became a player-coach later in his career and coached the next generation of players before retiring. Although he played more of the organization's core role as he grew older, his intelligence and leadership never diminished. He is still one of Scotland's most beloved football figures.

6. Raul (1994–2015)

Ruel became a iconic figure in Real Madrid and won six La Liga titles and three Champions League titles. Although he is known for his goals, he is also an excellent creator, especially when his speed drops later in his career.

His wisdom and keen intuition make him still extremely threatening in his thirties. Now Raul coaches Real Madrid B team, his legendary status as the Classic No. 7 is as stable as a rock.

5. Figo (1989–2009)

Figo was the 2000 Golden Globe winner. His move to Real Madrid from Barcelona shocked the football world and remains one of the most controversial transfers to this day.

On the court, his speed, dribbling and creativity make him one of the most dangerous wingers of his time. When playing for Inter Milan later in his career, Figo adapted to the middle role and made up for the decline in speed with his superb skills. Few players are as gorgeous and efficient as him.

4. Cantona (1983–1997)

Cantona lit up the Premier League with his ostentatious personality, superb skills and leadership skills. After helping Leeds United win the last League One title, he moved to Manchester United and became a key core of Ferguson's early success.

Cantona is known for his charisma and fearlessness. He is no less influential than when he has the ball. Before retiring at the age of 30, he inspires a generation of Old Trafford fans.

3. Best (1963–1984)

Best is fascinated by the audience with his outstanding sense of balance, speed and skill of shooting left and right. While his off-court lifestyle has also become part of the legend, at his peak he was almost unstoppable on the court.

He brought style and charm to Manchester United in the 1960s and is still one of the most talented football players. Best's talent and fearlessness redefine the meaning of No. 7.

2. Galincha (1953–1972)

Gallincha was born with leg disability and did not become interested in football until he was almost 20 years old. However, he overcomes all difficulties and becomes one of the most beloved players in Brazil. His dribbling, skills and unpredictability have caused a headache for the defender.

When Pele was injured in 1962, Galincha led Brazil to win the World Cup. Although he has never played football in Europe, the Golden Globe Awards (symbolically) that he posthumously awarded in 2016 recognized his unparalleled influence in world football.

1. Cristiano Ronaldo (2002–present)

Royce redefined sustainability and excellence at the top level. From his explosive rise at Manchester United to his years of breaking records at Real Madrid, he has won numerous championships, personal honors and goals.

After Juventus and now playing for Arnasl, Ronaldo continues to compete in his 40s. As the most prolific No. 7 player in football history, Ronaldo's influence has spanned generations, and his story is still being written.
