Raimundo Orsi - Italy
Born in 1901 in Argentina, Orsi featured for his birth country between 1924 and 1928 featuring in the Summer Olympics as an Argentine against Uruguay. He however switched domiciles after moving to Juventus opting to play for the Azzurri in the first World Cup in 1934. This turned out to be his final international tournament but he made his mark, firmly establishing his position as the best winger yet to grace the Italian grounds. He is remembered to date.
Sir Tom Finney - England
Despite starting his international career at the football-ripe age of 24 as a result of the 2nd World War, Sir Tom Finney played for his country England in three World Cups helping his team reach the quarter finals in 1954. His performances throughout his career with England cemented his status as one of the English and the game's greats with his pace, ball control, finishing and overall appreciation of the game attracting worldwide acclaim. Tom Finney stands today as one of the best to grace the winger position with Bobby Moore once quoted saying, I've never played with a winger like that".
Lennart Skoglund - Sweden
An extremely skillful winger, Nacka, as he was known, mesmerized both the crowds and his opponents with his forward bursts on the left side. He was the main stop when Sweden finished third in the 1950 World Cup and then reaching the Finals in 1958 against Brazil when Sweden hosted the tournament. Lennart played for Inter Milan on the club level and his exploits are still regarded as some of the best to grace the left wing of the pitch.
Zoltan Czibor - Hungary
He is listed on Hungary's all time Hall of Fame dating to when the Magical Magyars dominated world football. Zoltan, an outside left winger possessed memorable dribbling skills and an extremely powerful shot and was part of the team that knocked England out to reach the final of the World cup in 1954, himself scoring the second goal. Zoltan's international career together with his much fancied Hungarian teammates came to an abrupt end at the Hungarian Revolution in 1956.
Garrincha - Brazil
Considered among Brazil's greats, Garrincha overcame some of the toughest obstacles to his rise on hall of the game. Born with twisted legs, a twisted spine and in extreme poverty, he was not even expected to talk well let alone play normally as a kid. He however conquered all the difficulties to become one of the world's greatest players and is in some quarters considered the greatest rival to Pele in the king's heyday. A fine dribbler and an extremely peaceful winger, he guided his team together with Pele to the 1958 trophy and without Pele in 1962 when the king pulled out with an injury scoring four goals to carry home the Golden Boot. Pele was to later play tribute to Garrincha, describing his performances as phenomenal and instrumental to Brazil's success.
Jairzinho - Brazil
A powerful and pace winger, he greatly admired Garrincha and was the ultimate successor to his idol when he helped his team reclaim their world cup trophy in 1974 thumping the Italian team 4-1.
Rivelino - Brazil
Rivelino was one of the brightest stars in the legendary Brazilian side in the 1970 World Cup. His ball manipulation and control was exceptional at the time gracing the platform with his elastic techniques that only greats such as Christiano Ronaldo or Zinedine Zidane could understand. His skills to caress the ball, creating flip flap moves are still legendary and his intelligence and knowledge of the game were hugely important when his team played in the '74 and '78 World Cup semi finals.
Rob Rensenbrink - Netherlands
The Netherlands has never disappointed in producing football superstars although they are the only team to feature in every world cup and not have taken the trophy home. There are however many greats to have featured in the Dutch teams and Rensenbrink was the star in the 1974 and 78 World Cups. Nicknamed "The Snake", he could slither through from midfield to the defense, sliding through with the ball with great creativity, intelligence and technical ability. He is still considered in The Netherlands and Europe as the best left winger to grace the World Cup.
Grzegorz Lato - Poland
The fast and highly effective winger cum striker was the undoubted star as the Polish side finished third in 1974 and 1982 World Cups. He secured the Golden Book in his debut World Cup tournament and scored the winner as his team went to beat Brazil for third place.
Bruno Conti - Italy
Conti had the ability to move the ball with immense pace on either feet and could therefore play on either flank. He was part of the team that won the Cup in 1982 and was the leading charge as his team floored West Germany in their 3-1 win in a final.
Roberto Donadoni - Italy
Roberto Donadoni is without doubt one of Italy's best ever and most important players on the international front. He was the key part in the extraordinary Italian sides of the early 90s imposing his stamina and speed against his opponents with great technique. He is regarded as one of the greatest players in AC Milan where he played his team football and is an Italian football icon.
