The greatest player in North Macedonian history — the man who scored the goal that sent tiny North Macedonia to his first ever major tournament.
Goran Pandev won the Champions League with Inter Milan in 2010 as part of José Mourinho's treble-winning side, and became North Macedonia's all-time record appearance-holder and top scorer. He captained North Macedonia to their first-ever major tournament qualification, for Euro 2020, a landmark achievement he called the proudest moment of his career before retiring from international football shortly afterward.
