4. Jorge Campos

The only goalkeeper to make the list, Jorge Campos signed for the Los Angeles Galaxy ahead of the inaugural MLS season in 1996 and immediately became the club’s starting goalkeeper. He spent two seasons in California, racking up 43 appearances for the club. In that time, he kept eight clean sheets and helped the side into the postseason in both years, including a run to the inaugural MLS Cup in 1996.

Campos made the move to Chicago Fire ahead of the 1998 season, and despite only playing ten games throughout, he was part of the side that won the MLS Cup and U.S. Open Cup double, the first side to achieve the feat.

After his MLS career, he continued playing in his home nation of Mexico, with UNAM, Tigres, Atlante and Puebla, before retiring in 2004. He also played 130 times for the national side over 13 years and was part of their Confederations Cup-winning team in 1999, and two CONCACAF Gold Cup victories, in 1993 and 1996.
