7. George Weah – Liberia
Weah is perhaps the best African player of all-time. He was named African Player of the Year in 1989, 1994 and 1995.
He also became the only ever African to win the Balon d’Or when he scooped the award in 1995, while playing for Serie A giants AC Milan.
Weah, who briefly represented Chelsea and Manchester City in 2000, scored 22 goals in 60 senior international appearances for Liberia, but his country has never qualified for a World Cup.
