37) Romario: Brazil, forward (1990 and 1994)
Romario is the World Cup legend who never quite was. He was a five-goal hero and player of the tournament when Brazil won USA 94, but injury restricted him to 66 minutes at Italia 90 and kept him from forming a dream team with Ronaldo at France 98, while Phil Scolari left him out in 2002. The arch finisher netted more than 1,000 goals in his career, some of which were scored in his garden.
