AlbakiReads Editorial
A century of soccer’s defining players
Spanning figures from Dixie Dean to Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi, *The Soccer 100* pairs a ranking of players with portraits that look beyond goals, wins, and trophies. The Athletic’s soccer staff draws on research and interviews to bring together career details, personal histories, and unusual episodes connected to the game—from a missing Pelé shirt to a player’s path from the pitch to national politics. The book’s broad historical sweep makes its list a way to explore how individual careers and public legacies have intersected with soccer’s changing story.
