Alonso is at 90, 89 and 87 and plenty of Liverpool fans out there will be delighted to see him included in the Icons roster.
His IQ and unmatched passing range made him one of the greatest midfielders in the modern era.
Winning the Champions League with Liverpool and Real Madrid makes the 2010 World Cup-winning maestro a legend at both European giants.

The third legend is Brazilian winger Jairzinho. The prolific winger remarkably scored in every finals match in Brazil's 1970 FIFA World Cup win.
Known as the Hurricane, he was described as a, "proven goalscorer from the wing with pace to burn and a frightening mix of strength and dribbling ability that took him past defenders with ease, followed by pinpoint finishing that goalkeepers couldn't do much to stop," on EA's website.
