The World Cup is the pinnacle of any player's career - an opportunity to write their names into the history books.

But for some Brazil represents their final chance to do so.

For these players by the time Fifa takes the World Cup to Russia in four years time, they'll more likely to be a pundit than be taking part on the pitch.

We take a look at 10 of the biggest names in the game, who while might have less running in their legs, will have no limit to their desire to etch themselves into World Cup folklore this summer.

Who from our selection do you think will make the biggest impact in Brazil? Let us know in the comments below.
