(2000-2010) • All 24 of Nakamura’s goals from his 98 international appearances. The former Yokohama F. Marinos, Reggina, Glasgow Celtic & Espanyol star helped his country win the Asian Cup twice (2000 & 2004). Naka’s memorable Japan goals include wonder-strikes against France and Brazil in the Confederations Cup, a direct corner kick against Honduras, and several sensational free kicks. The set-piece specialist is arguably the greatest Asian footballer of all time, and was a key player as Celtic won six major trophies – including three successive league titles – during Naka’s glorious four-year spell between 2005 and 2009. Incredibly, the legend is still playing top-tier football at the age of 43 with Yokohama FC in the J1 League.
