No.9 is one of the greatest numbers in the football world. Last week we posted the vote of Top 5 Greatest No. 9s in Football History, 573,614 have voted. Here is the result:
Alfredo Di Stefano
Argentine striker was the centrepiece of the Madrid side that dominated European football in the 1950s. Di Stefano started his career in Argentina, The talented forward had scored an impressive total of 90 goals in just 102 matches, before achieving similar results in Spain, notching up 216 goals in just 282 appearances for Madrid, which made him the club’s all-time top scorer until the feat was broken by Raul in 2009.
Gerd Muller
Sticking to the requirements of a good number 9, Gerd Muller is viewed as one of the greatest goalscorers to ever grace a football pitch. The West Germany striker amassed an incredible tally of 68 goals in 62 games for his country, winning the 1972 European Championship and the 1974 World Cup.
Marco van Basten
With a tally of more than 300, Van Basten scored plenty of brilliant goals throughout his career. That figure would have been even higher, but the legendary striker was forced to retire in 1995 at the early age of just 28, .Van Basten was named FIFA World Player of the Year in 1992 and won the Ballon d'Or three times, in 1988, 1989 and 1992.
Johan Cruyff
Another No.9 is brilliant Johan Cruyff, who played a massive part in developing the modern game into what it is today. Credited with assisting the brilliance of top players. Cruyff is best known for his role in the ‘Total Football’ system that was played at Ajax throughout Rinus Michels’ time at the club.
Ronaldo (Brazil)
Ronaldo is one of Brazil’s greatest ever players, having won four titles with his country. the Brazilian superstar tarnished his distinguished career somewhat by piling on the pounds towards the end of it. However, during his glory days he was one of the most feared strikers around.

♥️ Ronaldo 9 🇧🇷 this man was everything I wanted to be as a striker he had the speed of a Cheetah he could dribble he was skillful and he was strong as a lion 💪🏾 he never dives he was a hero of his country he won 2 world cups and if its wasnt for his injures many people including myself thinks he could have been the best player in the history of the game Because he was a clutch on both International level and in the club level he didnt need anyone to set up his goals for him and he was the most complete striker the World has ever seen and for me he is the best striker in history of the game even Zlatan admires him and thats how you should know he was a monster in his prime

Ronaldo da Lima makes me to love football,am a basket ball and Boxing Fans. he made me to follow football bc of his fast dribble skills and the way he fight his way out danger (;just like Messi) kick kick him pull him or play any rough styles you can think of,he don't care,he just keep on moving with the ball glue to his feet. not the clown that fall even when a kid touched him and rolled as if hammer has hit his Head. what a world of deceit we are living in now

people vote based on whom they know most and like..and that mostly depends on the age of the voters and in whose era they had grown up in. But I say van basten is the best #9, even though his career ended early he has a record non of those others listed ever achieved in their entire career, I mean he even rivals messi and ronaldo.
