From Origin to Prime, this year’s Heroes get better with time.

And in November, each Hero will ascend to their Prime. These Prime Heroes represent the player they were at the height of their powers, winning titles, setting records, and writing themselves into club history books.
Eden Hazard
Eden Hazard always knew his next move, eluding defenders on the pitch with his mazy dribbling and weaving his own path to greatness from Lille to London and beyond. Every change of direction had purpose, none greater than his choice to become a Blue. While at Chelsea, Hazard evolved from talented prospect to Prime Hero—and all the way to Premier League champion—carving through opponents and blazing his own trail to glory.
Tim Howard
If the opposition didn’t score, Tim Howard probably had a hand in it. Known for stopping everything, America’s #1 would stop at nothing for greatness, challenging himself with Premier League football early in his career. He found his home in Everton blue and found his Prime in 2009, saving two penalties against his former side to lift his Toffees to an unforgettable FA Cup Final. And like any great goalkeeper, Howard never looked back—a true Hero for club and country.
Laura Georges
Always there, and everywhere. That’s the paradox of Laura Georges, a player whose travels around the world on her road transformed her into an unmovable force on the pitch. From American collegiate centre back to her Prime as Olympique Lyonnais captain and UEFA Women’s Champions League winner, Georges held everything together and held nothing back. A leader. A rock. A Hero.
Maicon
Like Rome, Milano’s Il Colosso wasn’t built in a day. Maicon’s first superpower was turning adversity into strength, a thin boy from Brazil who worked every day to grow bigger, faster, more powerful. His Italian debut—winning the Supercoppa Italiana—set the foundation for everything he was building. And in four years, a relatively unknown Maicon became a towering force in world football, leading his club to a treble as a truly colossal Prime Hero.
Guti
Not every youth player can see a clear path to the first team. Guti could see everything. His vision on the pitch helped him rise through the ranks at Real Madrid, a homegrown talent who ended up with over 500 appearances for his boyhood club. His Prime was punctuated by pinpoint passes and trophies galore, including an iconic treble in 2011. And though it was impossible to see the game the way he did, all who saw him play saw him clearly—as a Hero.
Jaap Stam
Feared by foes. Cheered by fans. Jaap Stam barged, duelled, and tackled his way through the leagues in the Netherlands, leaving a stream of bruised attackers and hoisted trophies and in his wake. But it was his time in England where he earned his nickname, “The Dutch Destroyer”, a man mountain in his Prime who fought his way to a treble. Stam was honoured as Europe’s best—and most feared—defender, only to go to Italy and prove it all over again.
Fara Williams
Fara Williams was born to do good and destined to be great. She blazed a trail from humble beginnings to Hero status, lifting up her teammates, nation, and the entire women’s game along the way. Everton’s captain and one of England’s most beloved players, Fara led from midfield and scored for fun. Her heroics earned her several individual honours in her Prime—and even an MBE from the Queen. But what mattered to her is what she did for her people, forever a Hero deserving of her royal nickname: Queen Fara.
Ze Roberto
Ze Roberto was electric. A live-wire on the ball with an uncanny ability to shock his opponent, all he needed was the right stage to spark his hero’s journey. Bayer Leverkusen was that platform, a club he led in his Prime to compete at the very summit of German football—and even to a UEFA Champions League final in 2002. It was there he gained the ability to light up any match, in any league, at any level. It was there he became a Hero.
Celia Sasic
Celia Sasic was sensational—with a superhuman ability to sense opportunity anywhere on the pitch. Her incredible awareness and instinctive finishing turned even the slightest of chances into goals. And in her Prime, she turned those goals into golden boots, European Championships glory—twice—and UEFA Women’s Champions League greatness. Her goal in the final secured her beloved Frankfurt an unforgettable UWCL title, and scored her a place in the hearts of fans forever as a Hero.
Marek Hamsik
Like his iconic mohawk, Marek Hamsik’s game grew and sharpened over the years—a loyal decade in Naples where he went from “he’ll never make it” to “history maker”. At every turn, Hamsik turned difficulty into strength, disproving doubters by becoming club captain and avenging prior defeat by lifting the Italian Supercup in his Prime. “Marekiaro” arrived at Napoli as a fresh-faced prospect. He left as the club’s then-record goal-scorer, record appearance-maker, and bonafide club Hero.
Mohammed Noor
Control. That was Mohammed Noor’s game, and it became his superpower as developed into one of the most exciting players Asia has ever seen. First, he perfected his ability to control the ball, dribbling his way to several league titles. Then, he perfected his ability to control his opponent, moving defenders out of position with a drop of his shoulder. In his Prime, Noor’s heroics led Al Ittihad to continental glory—a Hero who truly controlled the game.
Jamie Carragher
“We all dream of a team of Carraghers”. And at times, on Merseyside, this dream felt like a reality. Jamie Carragher was everywhere, and ever-present, for Liverpool with over 700 appearances for his boyhood club. His rise was punctuated by one of the greatest comebacks in football history, where a Prime Carragher helped the Reds erase a 3-0 deficit and lift the Champions League trophy. An unforgettable Hero, fans might still close their eyes and see Carragher’s outline on the pitch.
Blaise Matuidi
Even if you could see the game like Blaise Matuidi, you’d never be able to keep up. The tireless midfielder read danger before anyone else, swooping in to stop an attack or win the ball back. A many-time league champion and World Cup champion in 2018, Matuidi would spread his arms wide in celebration after a goal, a chance for fans to see his true form—a Hero who flew around the pitch and lifted his team to titles.
