Top Ten England World Cup Legends

5. Viv Anderson – 1982, 86

In 1982 Anderson became the first black player to pull on the Three Lions at the World Cup and did so at a time when racial and political tensions were at a height in the country. If England had been better he most likely would have broke the barrier four years earlier in Argentina, but though he only won 30 caps in his career he was deemed good enough to be included in the squad once again for the tournament in Mexico.
