2. Gary Lineker – 1986, 1990

Lineker is, and remains, England’s top goalscorer at World Cup tournaments and in ’82 scored the second quickest hat trick in tournament history against Poland in the group stages. Two more goals against Paraguay and one more against Argentina saw him pick up the Golden Boot in Mexico. Four years later he was at it again as his four strikes took England to the semi-finals. He remains the country’s second highest goalscorer behind Bobby Charlton with 48 goals.
