Best British footballers ever: Manchester United & Liverpool legends dominate, plus England World Cup winners

6) Jimmy Greaves

One of the best goalscorers ever seen on these shores, Jimmy Greaves consistently fired them in in a distinguished career for Tottenham, Chelsea and England.

5) Kenny Dalglish

A much loved Liverpool legend, Kenny Dalglish is a hugely underrated world great after a glorious trophy-laden career for the Reds and for Scotland.

4) Bobby Moore

England’s World Cup-winning captain, Bobby Moore is also rightly regarded as one of the best central defenders to ever play the game.
