Alan Ball
Ball, like Charlton, was a member of England’s glorious World Cup-winning generation of 1966. He was a key member of the side—and the youngest—and operated on the right of Sir Alf Ramsey’s ‘wingless wonders’ formation.
Ball—then 21—was one of the outstanding players in England’s 4-2 final victory over West Germany, and was influential in two of England’s four goals.
While Ball’s international career never again reached the heights of ’66—he played for distinction in central midfield for Everton, Southampton and Arsenal among others, winning the league in 1970 as a Toffee.
