#219: Definitely Basten

Marco Van Basten: Striker, Netherlands
58 caps / 24 goals

Marco van Basten was the greatest goal scorer of his generation. He was graceful, yet powerful, two-footed with tremendous control, quick on the turn and supreme in the air. His ability to score goals was obvious as early as the 1983 World Youth Cup. Voted Fifa World Player of the year in 1992, Van Basten won the European Cup three times and enjoyed success in the 1988 European Championships, volleying one of the greatest ever international goals against the Soviet Union in Holland’s 2-0 final victory.
