11. Carlos Alberto Torres
AP/Press Association ImagesOne of the most inspirational figures in Brazilian football history, Carlos Alberto was the captain that lifted the trophy in 1970, leading the greatest World Cup team of all. Part of the hugely successful 1960s Santos line up alongside Pele, right back Carlos Alberto was renowned for his great reading of the game and distribution of the ball, starting many of both club and country's moves from the back. A surprising omission from the failing 1966 squad and missing out on the 1974 tournament through injury, 1970 was Carlos Alberto's only World Cup, but with his defensive solidity, creative passing and inspirational leadership, he certainly made his mark on the tournament. Carlos Alberto was named in the 1970 World Cup's Dream Team and, perhaps more impressively, was part of the Team of the 20th Century announced for the 1998 World Cup (one of four Brazilians).
10. Romario
DENNIS PAQUIN/AP/Press Association ImagesThe 1994 World Cup team was not a vintage Brazil side compared to the fluid attacking brilliance of the 1980s team, but it managed what Brazil teams throughout the 70s and 80s could not: being crowned World Champions. Part of that was down to the fact that the team had at least one outstanding talent in prolific striker Romario. One of the highest goalscorers of all time across a career that saw him enjoy success in various periods with three Rio clubs, Flamengo, Vasco da Gama and Fluminense, as well as in Australia, the Middle East and the United States, Romario enjoyed his best years in Europe. 127 goals in 142 games for PSV Eindhoven (winning three Dutch league titles) led to two seasons with Johann Cruyff's Barcelona Dream Team in which he scored 39 in 65, winning La Liga and making it to the Champions League final. With 55 goals in 70 caps Romario is Brazil's third highest all time goalscorer. Injury meant that he barely featured in 1990, but in 1994 he made the difference with five goals and the Golden Ball for player of the tournament. A 1999 FIFA internet poll for Player of the Century placed Romario at 5th and in 2002 he was named in FIFA's all time World Cup Dream Team.
