The Athletic is pleased to announce its third installment in our 'Top 100' book series. The Soccer 100 details the top 100 players in the history of the game as voted on by The Athletic's Soccer staff. This book is the result of many hours of intensive research and passionately opinionated discourse amongst our writers. The outcome is a comprehensive list which celebrates the profiles of 100 men's soccer players who conquered and molded the game to what it is today.
