Post your top 10
Vardy and Heskey would make a solid duo up front.
They unironically would. Heskey in his prime (before he became a meme) was an elite target man and with Owen they used to be deadly up front.
No Dixie Dean
He never makes any list but the man scored 60 goals in 39 games and they wasnt goals in training in a Pele style
Not even gonna try to name a top 10 because I never watched half of these anywhere near enough to say, but I think shoe-ins would be Matthews, Moore, Shearer, Gascoigne, and Scholes. The other five could be any from about 20.
Only post-war counts.
Banks
Neville Moore Terry Cole
Gerrard Stiles
Hoddle/Gazza
Barnes Kane Greaves
Kane is behind Shearer and Lineker. Also this formation makes no fucking sense, Greaves out wide? Honestly people come up with some shite.
England's finest talent
1. Gazza
2. Drunk Gazza
3. Coked up Gazza
4. Stoned Gazza
5. Rolling Gazza
6. Gazza after coming back from the backstage of an Oasis Show
7. Speedball Gazza
8. Faded Gazza
9. “Sunday Morning” Gazza
10. Too Drunk to Stand Gazza
Simple as
You guys don't rate Charlton?
Kane is unironically better than both
Where's the "taking chicken and fishing rods in a dressing gown to Raoul Moat Gazza"?
Like I said, not seen enough to say. He was a great footballer, but I get the sense some of it with him is the myth surrounding Munich.
>scholes
>above Lampard or Gerrard
No, he isn't. They played in shit teams and consistently banged in goals. Kane has only ever played for a Spurs team where he's surrounded by great players.
where's Gazza, Manuel?
>Lineker played in shit teams
Only shit teams he played in was Leicester. Mid-80's Everton was the best team in England back then and from there he went on to play at Barca and the early 90's Spurs which was pretty good team as well.
Kane’s the only great player in a decent spurs team, shearer played for Blackburn and Newcastle when they were competing for the title, lineker played for a strong Everton, strong Barca, Good Leicester and Tottenham sides
>surrounded by great players
In what world?
From that list the legendary 10 would have to be
>Stanley Matthews
first ever ballon d'or winner
>Bobby Charlton
central to world cup and european cup winning teams
>Bobby Moore
world cup winning captain and arguably best defender
>Jimmy Greaves
greatest old time scorer
>Alan Shearer
greatest modern scorer
>Paul Gascoigne
completely different player to anything we've ever had
>Gordon Banks
had a few good keepers, he's probably the standout
>Glenn Hoddle
probably most talented player we've ever had
>Duncan Edwards
bit of a mythical one this but his contemporaries say he was head and shoulders above everyone else
>Gary Lineker
the most clutch national team player since we won it
Your longer list is pretty good though, only really missing Keegan and maybe Beckham and Ashley Cole.
also could have added any of Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes but the debate over those three will be eternal
All 3 had very good club careers in stacked teams (Gerrard slightly less good but slightly less stacked) but all 3 were disappointing at national level. Talent wise all three are top 10 potential.
Will she live to see England win another wc?
>Duncan Edwards
Why do people still spout this garbage? People thought Francis Jeffers would be the next Shearer when he was 21. Edwards never did anything and so can't be considered a great.
who the hell said that about Francis Jeffers?
Edwards played 150 games for Man Utd and won 2 league titles in the 2 seasons before he died aged 21 so that's a stupid comparison to make.
Just developed my first ever hemeroid aged 32 and it's uncomfortable as fuck. Feels like gobstopper stuck up my bum and it's making me seriously unhappy lads.
moaty did nothing wrong
let me come suck you off mate you'll feel better
you've had a good run to be fair lad
