Hulk

Hulk has always been one of the most viscerally exciting forwards to watch, and the nickname fits the player perfectly. Out of Campina Grande in Brazil's Paraíba, he built a career on raw physical power and a left foot that fired thunderbolts from distance. I have a soft spot for his time electrifying the J-League, where he won over Asian fans, and his sustained success in Europe and China showed it was no fluke. The fact that he's still leading the line for Fluminense speaks to a hunger that age hasn't dimmed. Genuinely admirable longevity.
