4. Jose Andrade – Nacional & Penarol

Not too indifferent to that of Matthews, Maradona and Pele, in that Andrade was a worldwide superstar playing in still a fairly large club.

Ever since the 1924 Olympic Games in Paris Andrade had been considered the greatest player in the world, and both Nacional and Penarol were able to have lucrative tours of Europe as fans clamoured to see the ‘Black Marvel’, as he was known, in action.
