THE GODS I WORSHIP

Well, I'm not a religious person, so aside from football legends and guitar pros, i don't really have anyone to worship. Here is a list of my favorite players from over the years. Some of them finished their career even before i was born, while the others still strive and toil to make it onto my favorites list!





1-Raul Gonzalez Blanco Spain and Real Madrid STRIKER
aka:
'El siete' (The Seven).....'El Angel del Madrid' (Madrid's Angel), and 'El Capitán' (The Captain)
Raul was my first favourite footballer, and why not? He has the status of a King in Spain. Any manager who has left Raul on the substitutes bench has ended up getting the sack. Raul is one of those selfless players, one of those so called team players, who puts his team ahead of everything. As a Real Madrid player, Raul has won the Spanish League 6 times, The Champions League 3 times and he is also a 2 time Intercontinental Cup winner...just a few of the many successes that 'El siete' has had. Raul also has 2 Pichichi trophies to his name, and currently he is the all time leading scorer in the Champions League with 61 goals. For his country, Raul is the highest goal scorer with 44 goals. Raul has been suffering from many injuries and hence was misfiring in recent times, this brought him a lot of criticism from many people. But he has shown his true colours, and resurrected from the ashes like a phoenix, fighting back, finding his form, and inspiring Real Madrid to Spanish domestic success! Raul has also sacrificed his position as a striker on many occasions and played in other positions for the team. According to me, Raul is the greatest player of all time, and he is an excellent role model for young kids.

fun facts: Raul has never received a red card in his entire professional career, which spans over 14 years!

Raul also figured high on a list of guys that girls would want to take home to meet their mom!
