I always thought Lineker was a great big game player. Hard working and honest. Michael Owen could also have been up there had it not gone so horribly wrong for him with injuries.

For me it's got to be Jimmy Greaves though.

Billy Wright anyone?

560+ appearances for Wolves in their hay-day. Played and fought in WW2. 105 caps for England, captaining them in three world cups in the 40s and 50s.

Phenomenal record. If he'd played these days he'd have got loads more caps as well.

Eurgh. I don't know what's worse, those who are naming Republic of Ireland players (clearly ignorant of the nations who make up their own country - and people call Americans ignorant of geography....) or the guy insisting Northern Irish players aren't allowed as it's team GB and not team UK...

Matthew Le Tissier--- most underrated british player

It's George Best anyone who says different is deluded
