They are all stars, just to name a few Ronaldo, Raul, but i would have to go with Beckham. His dead ball free kick taking is best in the world. Yes any one can take a free kick, but not with the precision and accuracy that he does all the time. Also i think he plays with passion, you don't see that in a footballer much these days.
