Adriano, Samba, R.Larcos - ranking the most iconic video game footballers
Deep in the Portuguese lower leagues a future Ballon d'Or contender was emerging at the turn of the century. To Madeira was a bargain wonderkid on Championship Manager 01-02, a guaranteed goal-getter available for a few hundred thousand pounds who would evolve into one of the game's greatest strikers. It's just the youngster, who started out at small-town outfit Gouveia, never actually existed.
The forward was slipped into the database by a local researcher by the name of Antonio Madeira. Madeira, the real one, was probably unaware at the time his mischief would create a cult figure whose legacy lives on among early-noughties wannabe managers. Now, Marvell Wynne is very much real.
The defender enjoyed a solid Major League Soccer career spanning a decade between 2006 and 2016, appearing for New York Red Bulls, Toronto, Colorado Rapids and San Jose Earthquakes. So far, so forgettable for those fans who aren't MLS aficionados. Wynne, after all, came with a fairly average set of attributes on Fifa.
Apart from one, his 96 pace. That made him a one-on-one defensive phenomenon and turned him into a Fifa legend. Wynne says he often gets tagged in Instagram posts about the fastest players in the game.
But it wasn't a glitch, the American ran the 100m in 10. 39 seconds in high school. Sweeping on to this list like one of his trademark free-kicks, David Beckham makes it by virtue of being the cover star for Fifa: Road to World Cup 98 - a game which boasted a bit of everything and deserves a mention.
