Top Ten England World Cup Legends

7. Bobby Charlton – 1958, 1962, 1966, 1970

The first player in the list from the World Cup winners from ’66. That achievement would ordinarily be enough to warrant his inclusion anyway, but he also has the honourable distinction of being the country’s all time leading goalscorer with 49 goals. Originally selected for the side that travelled to the 1958 tournament, but didn’t kick a ball, but became a mainstay in the side shortly after thanks to regular hat tricks.
