"100 Rising Stars" listed in 2/2001

I found this old issue of "World Soccer" from 2/2001 at home.  The article was "100 Rising Stars".  Almost 15 years later, the youngsters grew up and even retired.  Let's see how they were.

Players were born 1978 to 1982.

* David Villa born in 1981 was missing. Klose(1978) too.
* I highlighted in bold the players who became well-known among soccer fans.
