Steven Gerrard Steven Gerrard might be as well considering hanging his boots up given his age, but his love for Merseyside club is so immense and strong, a bond that is hard to break. Stevie is probably one of the most loyal players out there, playing his trade for Liverpool the whole career. The 34 year old midfielder is an inspiration to every newbie at Anfield Road; all Liverpool players look up to their captain. So do Liverpool fans. #7. Paolo Maldini The former AC Milan and Italy man is hailed as one of the most influential captains in the game. Paolo Maldini, like his father, was a Milanista at heart. Maldini played his trade with AC Milan the whole career, from 1985 to 2009 as a pro, and from 1978 to 1985 in the junior levels of the Rossoneri. Paolo Maldini is perhaps one of the best players to have ever won the Milan armband, showing leadership and loyalty to the club.

Carles Puyol The former Barcelona captain Carles Puyol is another player who has showed leadership and a unique sense of duty while playing for the Catalan giants. Like many other players, Puyol was the product of La Masia, perhaps one of the best youth academies. He has won 6 league titled and 3 Uefa Champions Leagues among other trophies, making him one of the most successful defenders. Apart from being a solid defender, Puyol had a knack for scoring brilliant headers. #3. Diego Armando Maradona The Argentine legend is regarded as one of the best players of all time, which comes as no surprise given his brilliant career. While Maradona is not the best model when it comes to his private life, he was certainly one of the most skilful and completed players in the game. Diego Armando Maradona was the man behind Napoli’s success in the mid 1980s, scoring 115 goals out of 259 appearances for the Italian side. #2. Raul Gonzalez Cristiano Ronaldo might be wearing the number 7 shirt at Real Madrid, but every Madridista can’t help but think about their legend Raul Gonzalez, when they see the number 7 jersey. Raul is perhaps the greatest player to have ever worn the Real Madrid jersey; only Alfredo Di Stefano could compete with him. Raul was one of the finest and lethal strikers to have ever played for the Galacticos; 16 glorious year at Bernabeu. ALSO ON Football: 10 Players destroyed by Jose Mourinho (With Pictures) #1.
