Best Soccer Players Who Wore the Number 14 Jersey

In this article, weโ€™ll be exploring the careers of the greatest number 14 players in soccer history.

In early days of soccer, jersey numbers signified the starting 11. Number 1 would be the goalkeeper and number 11 would be the farthest player down the pitch. The substitutes wore the numbers from 12 and above. In England though, teams were allowed to skip number 13 due to the superstition associated with it.

It was in the 1954 World Cup that players got specific squad numbers. This meant that the starting 11 did not necessarily have to wear numbers from 1 to 11. And therefore, the important soccer players started wearing numbers such as 14.

Number 14 has since become an iconic number, worn by some iconic soccer players. Some of the icons youโ€™ll see in the list are:

And many more! So letโ€™s get started.

Criteria for Selection in this List

Despite thorough research, we might miss a few important number 14 soccer players. Let us know if we have missed any of your favorites in the comments.

Best Soccer Players Who Have Worn Number 14

1. Johan Cruyff

Johan Cruyff wore the number 14 jersey for:

  • Ajax Amsterdam
  • Netherlands

Johan Cruyff might be the the greatest soccer player ever in terms of the impact he had on the game. He was the most influential advocate for the โ€˜Total Footballโ€™ philosophy, both during his playing days and as a manager.

Cruyff was always a big fan of the number 14. He was given the nickname โ€œNummer 14โ€ by the Dutch media due to his affliction with the number. He also sets out 14 Rules in his autobiography as a tool to teach young people that sports and games can also be translated into everyday life.

Embed from Getty Images

Before the arrival of Cruyff, Dutch football was seen as a semi-professional and unimportant soccer country. Cruyff and his teammates changed that by showcasing the power of Total Football in the 1974 World Cup. They reached the final but lost to an amazing West Germany team.

Johan Cruyff started his career at Ajax in 1964 at the age of 17. He became a regular first team starter at the age of 18 in the 1965-66 season. In his first full season at Ajax, Cruyff scored 25 goals in 23 games, winning the league title that year.

Embed from Getty Images

But it wasnโ€™t until 1970, after a comeback from his injury, that Cruyff decided to wear number 14 instead of his regular number 9. It was almost unheard of at that time for a starter not to wear a number from 1-11. Just another way in which Cruyff revolutionized the game. From that moment onwards, Cruyff wore number 14, even with the Dutch national team.

When players like [Gareth] Bale and [Cristiano] Ronaldo are worth around โ‚ฌ100 million, Johan [Cruyff] would go in the billions!

Franz Beckenbauer in a 2014 interview

Major Accolades

  • Johan Cruyff was a three-time Ballon dโ€™Or winner in 1971, 1973, and 1974.
  • In 1999, Cruyff was voted the IFFHS European Player of the Century and came second behind Pelรฉ in their World Player of the Century poll.

Henry moved to Arsenal in 1999 as a youngster with huge potential. He was given the number 14 shirt, and it was at Arsenal where he made his name as a world-class footballer. At Arsenal, Henry won numerous accolades including two Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and was also a crucial part of the invincible season.

In 2007, after playing at Arsenal for 8 years, Henry left for Barcelona. He cited his main reason for leaving being the uncertainty over Arsรจne Wengerโ€™s future at the club. Henry left Arsenal as the clubโ€™s leading all-time league goalscorer with 174 goals and leading all-time goalscorer in European competitions with 42 goals.

Embed from Getty Images

At Barcelona, Henry was again handed the number 14 shirt. Henry was mostly deployed on the wings at Barcelona, a fact that he wasnโ€™t too happy with at the beginning. By 2009, Barcelona had a deadly attacking trio in Henry, Messi, Samuel Etoโ€™o. That year they won the sextuple which included La Liga, Copa Del Rey, UEFA Champions League, Supercopa de Espaรฑa, the UEFA Super Cup, and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Next year, Henry moved to the MLS club New York Red Bulls. He played there for 4 seasons before announcing his retirement from soccer in 2014.

Embed from Getty Images

Xabi Alonso was a midfield maestro in his playing days. He was an all-rounder in the midfield, being equally effective in offense and defense. He was a deep-lying playmaker, and made full use of his long range passing to create goal scoring chances for teammates.

Steven Gerrard once claimed that Xabi Alonso was the best midfielder he has ever played alongside. Pep Guardiola has also praised Alonso, describing Alonso as one of the best midfielders he had ever seen in his life.

Alonso made his professional debut for Real Sociedad in 1999. His impressive performances at Sociedad caught attention of the big clubs, and in 2004, Alonso was priced away by Liverpool.

Embed from Getty Images

It was at Liverpool that Xabi Alonso got his number 14 shirt. His first season at Liverpool was nothing short of extraordinary. Despite finishing 5th in the Premier League, Liverpool reached the final of UEFA Champions League to play against AC Milan. A game that would go down in history as one of the best games ever.

Liverpool went three goals down in the first half. But they completed the comeback in a dramatic start of second-half. At 3-2, Liverpool were awarded a penalty which Alonso took to make the score 3-3. The game would go on to penalty shootouts which Liverpool won to lift the Champions League trophy.

Embed from Getty Images

Xabi Alonso had a successful time at Liverpool before transferring to Real Madrid in 2009. During his first season, Alonso wore the number 22 shirt. It was only after the club captain Guti retired in 2010, that Alonso was given the number 14. With Madrid, Alonso won a La Liga title and a UEFA Champions League.

Embed from Getty Images

Alonso moved to Bayern Munich in 2014 after 5 years at Madrid. He made an impressive start to his time there, and it was clear to see that he would be immense to Bayernโ€™s success. After racking up three consecutive Bundesliga titles, Alonso retired from soccer in 2017.

Xabi Alonso was also vital to the Spanish vital team. He started every game for Spain during the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which Spain won.

4. Casemiro

Casemiro has worn number 14 for:

  • Real Madrid
Embed from Getty Images

Casemiro is widely regarded as the best defensive midfielder of this generation. He is known for his ball-winning ability, tackling, and reading of the game.

Casemiro started his professional career at Sรฃo Paulo, where he caught the attention of Real Madrid through his performances and leadership on the pitch. He was first loaned out to Los Blancos in 2013, but by the end of the year, Real Madrid made the move permanent.

Embed from Getty Images

He wouldnโ€™t get a proper shot at Madrid until 2015 though, before which he was loaned out to Porto. With Zinedine Zidaneโ€™s arrival as the Madrid manager in 2016, Casemiro became the first-choice defensive midfielder and helped the team win their 11th UEFA Champions League title.

From 2016-2022, Casemiro and Madrid enjoyed a period of unprecedented success. They won three consecutive Champions League titles (becoming the first team to do so), and a fourth one in 2022. They also won three La Liga titles in that time.

Embed from Getty Images

In 2022, Casemiro left Real Madrid, and now plays as a number 18 at Manchester United. Heโ€™ll go down in the history as one of the best number 14 soccer players to ever play the game.

Major Accolades

  • Casemiro was named in the UEFA Champions League Squad of the Season twice (2016-17, 2017-18) and La Liga Team of the Season in 2019-20.

5. Diego Simeone

Diego Simeone wore number 14 for:

  • Atletico Madrid
  • Inter Milan
  • SS Lazio
  • Racing Club
  • Argentina
Embed from Getty Images

You probably know Diego Simeone as the great Atletico Madrid manager, but he was a great player as well. Simeone was a versatile and hard-working box-to-box midfielder, and was also praised for his technique, vision and passing range.

Embed from Getty Images

Simeone moved to Atletico Madrid from Sevilla in 1994. It was at Atletico where he chose to wear the number 14. He helped Atletico win the domestic double in 1995-96 season. This included the La Liga title and Copa del Rey.

A year later, Simeone moved to a star-studded Inter Milan alongside Ronaldo from Barcelona. He played at Inter for two years during which he won the 1997โ€“98 UEFA Cup.

Embed from Getty Images

In 1999, Simeone moved to Lazio and joined fellow Argentines Nรฉstor Sensini, Matรญas Almeyda and Juan Sebastiรกn Verรณn there. Lazio had gone close to winning the Serie A title before the arrival of Simeone. But Diego Simeone helped the team move over the line and win the 1999-00 Serie A along with the 1999โ€“2000 Coppa Italia.

Simeone returned to Atletico Madrid in 2003 and finished his career back in Argentina at Racing Club.

Diego Simeone also wore number 14 for the Argentina national team across 106 caps. He won the 1991 and 1993 editions of the Copa Amรฉrica with Argentina.

6. Patrick Vieira

Patrick Vieira wore the number 14 jersey for:

  • Inter Milan
Embed from Getty Images

Patrick Vieira also made an appearance in our best number 4 soccer players. But we couldnโ€™t ignore his time at Inter Milan as a number 14 either.

Vieira is regarded as one of the best midfield players ever. He was a powerful, tenacious and aggressive player, but was also graceful with his movement and passing on the pitch.

Vieira moved to Inter Milan from Juventus in 2006, after Juventus were relegated due to theย Calciopoli scandal. Although his time was Inter was riddled with injuries and he managed to make just 67 appearances in 4 years, Vieira won numerous trophies with Inter. This included 3 Serie A titles and one Supercoppa Italiana.

Embed from Getty Images

Vieira left the club in January 2010, but due to his prior appearances, he was given the 2010 Champions League medal when Inter Milan won it.

Major Accolades at Inter Milan

  • He won three Serie A titles, one Supercoppa Italiana, and the 2010 UEFA Champions League.

7. Guti

Guti wore number 14 for:

Embed from Getty Images

Amongst the Galacticos of Real Madrid, there was one player who had joined the club at the age of eight and went on to make a staggering 542 appearances. His name was Josรฉ Marรญa Gutiรฉrrez Hernรกndez โ€“ or simply Guti.

Guti initially started his career at Real Madrid playing as a striker but later moved to midfield. He made his debut in 1995 wearing the number 26. But as he became a first team player in 1997, he was given the number 14 shirt, which he would wear for the rest of his career.

Guti came to be known for his vision, technique, creativity, passing range and ability to provide assists for teammates.

He also had a darker side to his game, receiving 11 red cards during his career. Due to this trait, along with his turbulent personal life off the pitch, Guti had difficulties with several of his managers throughout his career.

Embed from Getty Images

Regardless, Madrid fans will always remember him as a legend of Los Blancos.

Major Accolades

  • Guti was the Copa del Rey top scorer in 2001-02 season and La Liga top assister in 2007-08.
  • He won five La Liga titles, three UEFA Champions League trophies, four Supercopa de Espaรฑa, one UEFA Super Cup, and two Intercontinental Cups with Real Madrid.

8. Javier โ€œChicharitoโ€ Hernandez

Chicharito has worn number 14 for:

  • Deportivo Guadalajara
  • Manchester United
  • Real Madrid
  • Sevilla FC
  • Los Angeles Galaxy
  • Mexico
Embed from Getty Images

Javier Hernandez, nicknamed โ€œChicharitoโ€, is counted amongst the best strikers Mexico has ever had. Hernandez is the definition of a goal poacher due to his movement off the ball, pace, and ability to find space inside the box.

Hernรกndez started his career at Guadalajara in Mexico, scoring 26 goals for them in 64 appearances. His performances caught the eye of Manchester United scouts in 2009, and he was signed by the club in 2010.

Embed from Getty Images

Hernรกndez became the first Mexican to play for the Red Devils. During his 5 years at United, Hernรกndez made over 150 appearances and scored 59 goals. After the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013, Chicharitoโ€™s playing time was reduced under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal, and he moved to Real Madrid on loan in 2014.

Chicharito wore the number 14 jersey throughout his career, except for his time at Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham United later in his career.

Major Accolades

  • Won the Mexican Primera Divisiรณn with Guadalajara in 2006.
  • He won Mexican Primera Divisiรณn Forward of the Season in 2010.
  • Chicharito won the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year in 2010โ€“11 season.
  • He won the CONCACAF Menโ€™s Player of the Year in 2015.
  • With Manchester United, he won two Premier League titles and one FA Community Shield.
  • Chicharito won the FIFA Club World Cup in 2014 with Real Madrid.

9. Luka Modric

Luka Modric has worn number 14 for:

  • Tottenham Hotspur
  • Croatia
Embed from Getty Images

Modric is widely cited to be the one of the greatest midfielders of all time, and the greatest Croatian player ever. He plays mainly as a central midfielder, but can also play as an attacking midfielder or as a defensive midfielder.

Modric was the first player to put a stop to the Ronaldo-Messi dominance of Ballon dโ€™Or, by winning the award in 2018. But we have to go further back in his career, to explore the time he wore the number 14.

Modric arrived at Tottenham in 2008 and chose to wear the number 14 jersey in honor of the Dutch legend Johan Cruyff.

I wore the No.14 at Tottenham in honor of Johan Cruyff, and because the No.10 wasnโ€™t available.

Luka Modric, in a 2018 interview given to Marca.

Modric had a slow start at Spurs as he suffered from a knee injury and was labeled as a light-weight for the Premier League by the media. But with the arrival of Harry Redknapp as the manager, later in 2008, Modric began to shine. The previous manager was playing him out of position, and Redknapp realized that Modric should play in the central midfield.

Embed from Getty Images

Scholes and Modric are both intelligent footballers. They both influence their teams as well so it is a reasonable comparison. I donโ€™t think they are identical players but they have the same qualities in terms of controlling a game.

Sir Alex Ferguson

Modric played at White Hart Lane for 4 years before leaving for Real Madrid in 2012.

Internationally, Modric helped Croatia reach the 2018 World Cup as the captain of the team.

Major Accolades

  • Luka Modric won the 2018 Ballon dโ€™Or.
  • He won the Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Year in 2010โ€“11.
  • Modric won the FIFA World Cup Golden Ball in 2018.

10. Jordan Henderson

Jordan Henderson has played in the number 14 jersey for:

  • Liverpool FC
  • England
Embed from Getty Images

Jordan Henderson is one of those players who play in the shadows, but his leadership and consistency has helped Liverpool reach the top over the past decade.

Henderson joined Liverpool in 2011 and decided to wear the number 14 jersey. It was a shaky start for Henderson, as he was only able to cement a starting position in the team by the 2013-14 season. He played in 40 matches and scoring 5 goals during that season.

Liverpool came close to winning their first Premier League title that year, but due to the infamous slip-up in the last few games, Manchester City beat them to the title. We all remember the Gerrard slip against Chelsea, but did you know that Henderson was suspended for the last 4 games of the season?

Without Henderson, Liverpool lost against Chelsea and drew with Crystal Palace. He returned in the final game against Newcastle United, but it was too little too late.

Embed from Getty Images

Henderson was made the Liverpool captain after Steven Gerrard retired in 2015. Soon after, Jรผrgen Klopp also arrived at the club and continued with Henderson as his team captain. Together, they won A UEFA Champions League in 2018 and a Premier League title in 2019-20.

Embed from Getty Images

Jordan Henderson made his international debut with England in 2010 and has worn the number 14 for most of his time with the Three Lions. He has helped England reach the semi-finals of 2018 World Cup, and the final of the 2020 European Championship.

Major Accolades

  • He has won England U21 Player of the Year Award, Liverpool Young Player of the Year, and Sunderland Young Player of the Year award.
  • Henderson won England Senior Menโ€™s Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year in 2019.
  • With Liverpool, Henderson has won one Premier League, one FA Cup, two Football League Cups, one UEFA Champions League, UEFA Super Cup, and FIFA Club World Cup.

11. Javier Mascherano

Javier Mascherano played wearing number 14 for:

  • FC Barcelona
  • Hebei China Fortune
  • Club Estudiantes de La Plata
  • Argentina
Embed from Getty Images

Nicknamed โ€œEl Jefecitoโ€ (โ€œThe Little Chiefโ€), Mascherano was a rock at the back for Barcelona and Argentina. He started his career playing as a defensive midfielder, but after arriving at Barcelona in 2010, he was moved to the center-back role.

He had a tough first season at Barcelona, mostly starting games from the bench. But towards the end of the season, he showed his talent as a defender and led Barcelona to the La Liga title and UEFA Champions League victory.

The Barcelona board was so impressed by Mascheranoโ€™s performances that they offered him a contract extension in 2012 and put a release clause on him worth $120 million.

Embed from Getty Images

He was again instrumental in Barcelonaโ€™s 2015 treble and started in the Champions League final against Juventus. Barcelona won the game 3-1.

After leaving Barcelona, Mascherano finished his career at Hebei China Fortune and Argentine club Estudiantes.

Embed from Getty Images

Mascherano was a silent leader for Argentina, putting the team before himself every time. When stripped of the captaincy in 2011, Mascherano continued to be a leader for the team on and off the pitch. While the new captain, Lionel Messi, was the symbolic leader for Argentina, Mascherano remained the real commander.

Major Accolades

  • Mascherano won 18 titles with Barcelona, including four La Liga titles, four Copa del Rey, three Supercopa de Espaรฑa, two UEFA Champions Leagues, two UEFA Super Cups, and two FIFA Club World Cups.
  • With Argentina, he won two Olympic Gold Medals in 2004 and 2008.
  • He got the FC Barcelona Player of the Season award in the 2014-15 season.

12. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has worn number 14 for:

  • Arsenal FC
Embed from Getty Images

Aubameyang was a talisman during his time at Arsenal. His style of play reminded Arsenal fans of Thierry Henry; running at the defenders and slotting it in with a side-foot finish.

Aubameyang arrived at Arsenal in January 2018, for a then-club-record fee of $68 million. He scored in his debut in a 5-1 win over Everton, chipping the ball over the goalkeeper. By October 2018, Aubameyang had set a Premier League record by scoring a goal every 104.6 minutes he played.

Embed from Getty Images

In his first full season at the club, Aubameyang won the Golden Boot award (shared with Salah and Mane) by scoring 22 goals in the 2018-19 season.

Embed from Getty Images

His relations with Arsenal and the coach, Mikel Arteta, soured in 2021 as he was stripped of the captaincy and was left out of the squad due to disciplinary reasons. Aubameyang left Arsenal for Barcelona on the deadline day of the 2022 January transfer window, ending his 4 year stay at the club.

Major Accolades

  • Aubameyang won an FA Cup and an FA Community Shield with Arsenal.
  • He won the Premier League Golden Boot in the 2018โ€“19 season.
  • Aubameyang was also awarded the Arsenal Player of the Season Award in 2019-20.

13. Nโ€™Golo Kantรฉ

Nโ€™Golo Kantรฉ has played in the number 14 jersey for:

  • Leicester City
Embed from Getty Images

Kante wore the number 14 for just one season at Leicester City โ€“ but what a season that was! Kante, along with his teammates, announced himself to the world by winning the 2015-16 Premier League title against all odds.

Nโ€™Golo Kante is not only a tireless and ball-winning midfielder, but also possesses excellent soccer IQ and off the ball movement.

Kante arrived at Leicester in 2015 as a replacement for Esteban Cambiasso. All the plaudits for finding him goes to Leicester City scout Steve Walsh, who had previously facilitated the transfers of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez to the team.

Embed from Getty Images

The year before Leicester had narrowly escaped relegation and were one of the favorites to go down in the 2015-16 season. Not a single analyst had predicted what was to come. Kante played a major role as Leicester went on to win the Premier League, and he was also named in the PFA Team of the Year.

Nโ€™Golo Kante is by far the best player in the Premier League this season.

Sir Alex Ferguson in 2016

Itโ€™s as if Chelsea knew that a team needed Kante if they wanted to win the Premier League, and so, they priced him away from Leicester City for $36 million in 2016. Chelsea would go on to win the league that year, and Kante became only the third player after Eric Cantona and Mark Schwarzer to win consecutive Premier League titles with different teams.

Major Accolades

  • He was named in the PFA Team of the Year twice, in 2015โ€“16 and 2016โ€“17.
  • He won the Leicester City Playersโ€™ Player of the Year in 2015-16.
  • Kante won the Premier League Player of the Season, PFA Playersโ€™ Player of the Year, and FWA Footballer of the Year in 2016-17.

  • With Leicester City, he won the Premier League in 2015-16.

14. David Ginola

David Ginola wore number 14 for:

  • Newcastle United
  • Tottenham Hotspur
  • Aston Villa
Embed from Getty Images

The great Johan Cruyff once labeled Ginola as the best soccer player in the world. Although his career was riddled with inconsistency, heโ€™s still fondly remembered by his British fans.

David Ginola arrived at Newcastle United from France in 1995, as a part of the team that would be capable of taking on Manchester United and become a European force. Despite their best efforts, Newcastle finished second behind Manchester United, despite being 10 points ahead in January.

In 1997, Ginola moved to Tottenham Hotspur, where he is still remembered for his extravagant forward play and personality off the pitch. In 1999, he was named PFA Playersโ€™ Player of the Year and FWA Footballer of the Year, becoming the first player to win the awards while playing for a club outside the top 4.

After playing for Spurs for 3 years, Ginola was sold to Aston Villa in 2000. By that time, he was at the later stages of his career, and only made 32 appearances in his 2 years there.

Major Accolades

  • David Ginola won the Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Year, PFA Playersโ€™ Player of the Year, and FWA Footballer of the Year in the 1998-99 season.
