LIONEL MESSI (28): Constantly in the mix when it comes to the ‘greatest footballer of all time’ conversation, Lionel Messi is without a doubt the greatest of his generation. The Argentine has dazzled for both his club, FC Barcelona, and country, thanks to his peerless dribbling skills, incredible instincts and his knack for shattering goal-scoring records.

He is the all-time top scorer in La Liga, and the all-time leading goalscorer in the UEFA Champions League. Messi is the first football player in history to win four FIFA Player of the Year/Ballon d’Or awards, all of which he won consecutively, and he is the first to win three European Golden Shoe awards. With Barcelona, Messi has won seven La Ligas, three Copas del Rey, six Supercopas de España, four Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups and two FIFA Club World Cups.

RAELENE BOYLE (64): Australian former sprinter, who won three Olympic silver medals in the 1968 and 1972 Games.

STUART BROAD (29): English cricketer, who is the captain of England’s Twenty20 team.

MICAH RICHARDS (27): English footballer, plays as a defender for Manchester City.

MUTAZ BARSHIM (24): Qatari highjumper, Asian record holder and an Olympic bronze medallist.
