Several Players Who Endured To Become Victorious In Playing Soccer

Soccer is such an unpredictable game full of all sorts of twists, tricks and turns. You just never know what is going to happen from one minute to another.

There are so many people that have tried to emulate the great players and go on to make a professional career in this game. Unfortunately it is not as easy as it looks to be able to do just that.

Here are just a few of those that did manage to succeed on the field of play.

Edison Arantes Pele definitely needs no introduction. He was only 15 years old when he broke into the Brazilian world cup squad and managed to play as well as score two goals. Another of his claims to fame was to be named Athlete of the Century by the Olympic committee.

In a career spanning a quarter of a Century Pele managed to amass an amazing 1,000 goals. He was also reported to be one of the top 100 most influential people of the 20th Century by Time magazine.

Argentina's answer to Pele was Diego Maradona. This man had awesome footwork and was a real live wire on the soccer pitch.

His playing career lasted for about 26 years and made him a household name the world over. He was also in the news as much for his off the field antics as his on field prowess.

Hristo Stoichkov was the Bulgarian equivalent of these two players. He went from playing his soccer at CSKA Sofia to the dizzy heights of playing for the top team in Europe, FC Barcelona. As well as winning the title with Barcelona Stoichkov went on world wide recognition as one of the world's top players. Stoichkov decided to retire completely from soccer in 2003.

Last but not least there is David Beckham. This man managed to represent his country of England in three world cups. David Beckham started his professional career aged just 16 and within 5 years he was playing for Manchester United and winning all before him. The pinnacle of David Beckham's career had to be captaining his country in the world cup of 2006.
