Here are the top 10…
10) Iker Casillas, Real Madrid
The World Cup winner may have regressed in recent years, but he has still been a great keeper for Los Blancos for the last decade.
9) Lev Yashin, Dynamo Moscow
The only goalkeeper to have won the Ballon d’Or spent his whole career at Russian giants Dynamo Moscow. He is widely regarded as the best keeper to have played the game.
8) John Terry, Chelsea
Already known as “captain, leader, legend,” it will be a hard day for Chelsea fans when he finally ends his playing career.
7) Paul Scholes, Manchester United
The midfielder is known as one of the best players of his generation, gaining plaudits including Zinedine Zidane and Xavi. He spent the whole of his playing time at Manchester United.
6) Francesco Totti, AS Roma
The forward has turned down numerous offers from clubs across Europe to stay at his hometown club in the Italian club.
5) Steven Gerrard, Liverpool
The midfielder is another who has stayed at his club in the face of opportunities elsewhere. He has even managed to bring the Champions League to Anfield in his time there.
4) Xavi, FC Barcelona
Part of one of the best teams of all time at Barcelona, Xavi might not be a one club man for much longer as a move to America beckons.
3) Carles Puyol, Barcelona
The Catalan side have inexorably declined since the retirement of the World Cup winner.
2) Ryan Giggs, Manchester United
The winger has now become the assistant manager at Old Trafford, meaning that his association with the club will continue even though he has retired.
1) Paolo Maldini, AC Milan
Captain of AC Milan for fifteen years, he is one of the best defenders to have ever played the sport. They are another side who have suffered since their legend’s retirement.
