Okay, this has probably been done to death but as copa mondiale is almost with us I was watching some old england footage on espn classic and thinking who our greatest players have been
Okay we have
Gordon Banks
Bobby Moore
Stanley Matthews
Tom Finney
Bobby Charlton
Gary Lineker
Sol Campbell (not a joke honest)
in the greatest camp. All had stellar england careers, but I would put Charlton at the top of the list - great skill, great pass, great football brain and a cracking shot.
As for most talented, I didn't have a list as such, but Gascoigne has to be the winner doesn't he? followed by Charlton (only one to have made the most of their talent thus far), Edwards and Rooney. I reckon Ferdinand is/was extremely talented defender but never quite produced it on the biggest stage unlike Campbell.
Might well have Ashley Cole joining the greatest list if he shines at the world cup. Definitely the best left back I've seen play the game in this country, which is sad for my fave Pearcey.
Anyway, views you L*mey c*nts? The Scotch need not apply, as we all know how they mniserably failed to achieve anything even when they had hansen, sounness and dalglish.
