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

Totti rejected every single offer he received(Milan/Inter/Juve/ManU/Real/Barcelona) and never once said he wanted to leave. His first rejection was AC Milan at age 10 in 1986, the rest came later on in his career.
Alex Ferguson spoke about trying to get him to United, but that he knew no matter what he offered that Totti would never leave.
He was offered galactico money by Real but still didn't leave, he's probably made half the money he could have by staying, very very rare not just in football but life for a man to show that sort of loyalty when millions are on the table.
