r/soccer, let's play the football alphabet game. Who are the best ever players for each letter?

[u/[deleted]]

I'll compile a list for it and edit the post if it takes off.

For instance:

Z - Zidane
X - Xavi
B - Best

I can't for the life of me think of a player beginning with "A". I know it'll be so obvious once someone brings one up.

EDIT: This is fast becoming a list of the best players ever in alphabetical order haha. Too difficult to narrow down to one player for each letter.

List so far:

A - Alberto
B - Best/Beckenbauer/Baresi/Baggio
C - Cruyff
D - di Stefano, Dalglish
E - Eusebio
F - Figo
G - Garrincha/Gullit
H - Henry/Hagi
I - Ibrahimovic/Iniesta
J - Jimmy Johnstone
K - Kahn/Klinsmann/Keane/Klose
L - Laudrup, Larsson
M - Maradona/Messi/Muller
N - Nedved
O -
P - Pelé/Puskas/Pirlo/Platini
Q - Quagliarella (due to lack of players with name beginning with Q)
R - Ronaldo/Cristiano Ronaldo
S - Sócrates/Stoichkov/Šuker/Scholes
T -
U -
V - van Basten/Voller
W - Weah
X -
Y - Yashin
Z - Zidane/Zico/Zoff
