Top Ten English Football Players

One word. Legend. Have you seen the 2005 UCL final in Istanbul? He is the engine room of Liverpool and England. Zinedine Zidane said Steven Gerrard is the best player in the world.

Steven Gerrard is my favorite footballer in the world. His technique is amazing. He wears my favorite number: 8.

One and only Mr. Liverpool. Legend, inspiration, the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be.

Overrated as an overrated banana that got washed in an overrating machine.

One of the best in England's history, if not the best. With 43 goals, he is just 5 goals short of Sir Bobby Charlton's all-time goal-scoring record.

Wayne Rooney is by far the best because he's the top scorer for both England and Manchester United.

He should be ranked number 1, and why, you ask me? Go and check out his career videos from when he first joined Manchester United!

Not only England's greatest by some distance, but one of the greatest footballers ever. Considering the Munich air crash when he was only 20, it is just amazing what he has achieved in the game.

By far England's greatest player. Dynamic and elegant. No other Englishman comes close. Even George Best said he never saw a player go past opponents as easily as Charlton. And a great sportsman as well.

Most naturally technically gifted footballer of his generation. If not for his self-destruct button, he would be without a doubt an English football legend.

The most naturally gifted player England has ever produced. Medals and stats don't make a player. The magic with a ball does.

Gifted talent. I don't see any other Englishman playing at that level. I compare Gazza with Zidane and Maradona. Same level, I have no doubt about it. Gazza, Platt, and Lineker nearly missed the World Cup. It was fun to watch Gazza rolling down to the penalty area.

I am a Spurs fan, but I recognize greatness.

Lampard was the most technically gifted, the hardest worker, and the most professional. He was much maligned by England fans but never dropped his level or showed dissent. An incredible goalscorer, he was written off as a youngster but proved to be highly intelligent and very respectful. He wasn't dirty and was the most consistent player at a high level over the longest period, which is a true sign of greatness. See Tendulkar in cricket, Federer in tennis, and the snooker greats.

He won everything an Englishman can win at the club level. Only the 1966 World Cup squad can say they won anything on the international stage. Of them, maybe Bobby Charlton could be compared, but no one else.

Probably the most underrated footballer in Europe. One of the best midfielders of his generation. Even Zidane and Xavi Hernandez claim he is one of the best!

Come on. This player must be in the top 5. His passing ability and vision were from another planet. One of the best midfielders of all time along with Xavi, Pirlo, Zidane, and others.

Just brilliant for both club and country.

Best English goalkeeper to walk the planet.

Wow, Harry Kane recently scored two goals against Liverpool in a 4-1 win for his club Spurs. He even defended as an attacker. Most importantly, he has a higher shot frequency than Ronaldo. He is the captain of the second-best Premier League club and a brilliant international player, captaining both teams. Just saying, Harry Kane is brilliant, and in all the games he plays, he shows it.

Despite many issues outside the pitch, he still has his focus on the game. Simply the best defender in the world.

The greatest English player of all time.

Twice the best European player, the only one from England. There's an absolute lack of knowledge of history from the voters.

The best of all time are:
Absolute number 1: Sir Stanley Matthews. After him, Bobby Charlton, Bobby Moore, Tom Finney, and Kevin Keegan.

One of England's key defenders, and without him, the team wouldn't be what it is now.

The only true great England ever produced.

In his prime, Jimmy Greaves was the best England has ever produced by a long way.
