The Best Players to never appear in a World Cup, Part three

1- Liam Brady

Republic of Ireland midfielder was considered one of the best in Europe and had along spell in the Serie A with Juventus, Sampdoria and Inter.

Unfortunately, during this period, the Irish always missed out on Tournaments.

By the time they started qualifying regularly under Jackie Charlton, Brady was near the tail end of his career.

2- Faas Wilkes

Faas Wilkes is considered one of Holland’s first Football heroes in an era where Dutch Football was still not Professional.

He had a spell in Italy in the 1950s with Internazionale Milano and Torino.

However, the national was two decades away from making an impact on the World stage and missed out on qualification during his playing days.

3- Jari Litmanen

Jari Litmanen is perhaps the most successful Finnish player that made an impact in the European stage. He was part of Louis van Gaal’s Ajax Amsterdam side that won the Champions League in 1995. He had spells at giants Barcelona and Liverpool as well.

Unfortunatelty, the Finns have yet to qualify for any finals thus far.

4- Carlos Bianchi

Argentina goleador made his name in the 1970s. He left and joined the French league in the 1970s and despite breaking goalscoring records and finishing top goalscorer on five occasions, he was not called up again for national team duty.

He suffered the fate of many South Americans of the time, who would be overlooked by selectors, once they were on away soil.

5- Rui Jordao

Portugal’s Rui Jordao was a star in the 1970s with Benfica and Sporting Lisbon in the 1980s and also had a spell at Real Zaragoza (1976/77).

He is mostly remembered for his two goal display vs. France during the 1984 Euros (June 23, 1984, France 3-Portugal 2).

Portugal did not qualify for any World Cups in his prime in the 1970s.

Unfortunately, much like compatriot Fernando Chalana, he was considered too old and out of international reckoning by the 1986 World Cup.
