Huib van Dam

With a touch like velvet and endless reserves of energy, this charismatic Dutch maestro dances past defenders before they even know he is gone. Legend has it that as a youth player, he once famously nutmegged his own manager during a team dinner to win a dare involving a plate of bitterballen. While he dominates the midfield with effortless flow, he remains tragically airborne-challenged and prefers to keep the ball glued to his feet rather than risking a header.
