Who are the greatest BRITISH footballers still alive today?

[Buzzer]

Did you not think you're own post about Karembeu was not exactly what you've just described!? Seriously I didn't take that personally either, but you seem to be reading into stuff that just isn't there. If you were my wife, I'd be thinking the red flag was up!

Hmm...It does come across like that, doesn't it? I guess it's because I was trying to sort out some work and whenever I read one of your posts I have now come to think of it said in a certain know-all tone. Perhaps I'm doing you a disservice. Ah well. I think you're wrong still and am happy to argue the point.

I don't think he was ever one of the greats having read about him and what others thought of him. He got his place because Greaves was injured and Greaves still has, I think, the best strike rate of any England player. Just my opinion though.

I disagree with including any and everyone because they were part of a great team, George Cohen for example.

He got in initially because of Greaves injury but held his place even when the latter was fit.

I was too young to see him, but Jimmy Greaves goals per games ratio, surely makes him the greatest goalscorer England have ever produced

Roy Race
Johnny Dexter
Hotshot Hamish

Surely have to come into the reckoning

 

[The Modfather]

Ince definitely NOT. I'm going to be insistent on this. Great players do not bottle it on the big occasion and Ince did just that with refusing to take a penalty for England.

Shame Ince didn't decline to take a penalty in the 1998 world cup match against the Argies

Robin Friday didn't even make it to 40

The Greats will surely have a stand named after them e.g. Trevor Brooking.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

If you ever saw Jimmy Greaves play then he was the best,but one forgotten player who often turned a game around....not mentioned yet....the 'Ghost' Martin Peters. The player who Albion let go....Ian Wright. Silky mover Frank Worthington...or 'Elvis'. But you can only judge on what you have seen....Duncan Edwards and probably one of the greatest Albion players Barry Rees...yes I realise that they are both no longer with us so to the original post don't count....but this is my post so I will put on it who I want...so Nary Nary Boo! God this Vodka is great.

John crumplin - that is all

The greatest British player still alive is Dalglish. He was a genius.

Ferenc Puskas actually; not only foreign but also DEAD.

Hold on, what about Luciano Pavarotti though he never played, he loved watching football & is foreign and dead

Johnny Dexter, good call. Victor Boskovic the visionary Hungarian coach had a massive influence on Johnny's career, turning him to one of the greatest Centre half this country has ever produced.

It's a crying shame most people on here have never heard of him.

what about Roy Race I think the players around especially made him into one of the greats people forget of Blackie Gray, Lofty Peak ,Vernon Elliot , Paco Diaz , Mervyn Wallace ,Geoff Giles and probably the best keeper of all time Charlie (the cat) Carter the best team of the 70s great days

A fantastic team on paper, i feel roy should have pushed the boat out and signed kevin mouse when he had the chance.
