1. Diego Maradona
Diego Maradona had a similarly low centre of gravity to Lionel Messi, but his barrel chest and powerful legs meant he was able to keep the ball impressively in a period when referees were far more lenient when it came to penalising tackles.
Maradona’s solo goal against England – not the Hand of God – at the 1986 World Cup has regularly been hailed as the best goal in history, and it was far from the only great individual strike he scored.
