      Gazza may be the most iconic in England, but I'm not sure he's even close to as iconic worldwide as Beckham and Rooney. Most people outside of England (and maybe Rome) don't even know who he is.

      I need to address something, when Gazza left spurs in 92, there was a total of 13 foreign players in the prem. If that was the case today, foden would be looked at like a god!

Not even the obvious mention of Sir Bobby Moore who, besides being the captain of that World Cup winning squad, also has perhaps the most iconic photo/moment of English football history in that image of him lifting the Jules Rimet trophy? Shame that the memory of that generation is fading - they were a global force, before and after the Munich disaster.

Just use your noodle big lad I'm a Liverpool fan who understands king Kenny is arguably the best player to play for my club but I can't really talk tons on him because I never even watched him live it'd sound silly coming from me. It'd make much more sense me talking on a childhood/teen idol growing up like gerrard.

    English fanboys can't get over their golden generation obsession that won nothing. Because of which they're rating Beckham as if he was the best footballer in the world. As a matter of fact there were at least 10-15 footballers ahead of him at the time

      Can you tell me which part of the video they said that these players were better than other nations players? They were simply ranking their favourite players to play for England, that a crime? You anti-England brigade are hilarious, we’ve not won anything for sixty years and still live rent free in your heads. Taking time out of your day just to hate watch, sad little man😂

      No they don’t. Gerrard my favourite player but he was in the shadow of Rooney. Shearer maybe but it’s tight.
