Stevie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Who would you rate as the best ten English players of the last 25 years (for your own reasons, nobody is right or wrong) 1. Peter Beardsley 2. Alan Shearer 3. Paul Scholes 4. Steven Gerrard 5. Paul Gascoigne 6. Bryan Robson 7. Chris Waddle 8. John Barnes 9. Tony Adams 10.David Beckham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewellander Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I don't disagree with your list, but I do think that Owen should be in there, if we're talking last 25 years. He is the 4th all-time scorer for England, is he not? No, honestly, is he? I think that's true, but I can't back that up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Hard to argue with that list really, not sure I'd agree with the order (if it is in order). Would maybe include Lineker purely for his goal scoring ability. Terry Butcher and Peter Shilton are worth a mention too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest teepee Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 andy cole has also been quite good - and i'd definately have shearer at the top of the list! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 The thing is with Andy Cole, how many times did he play for England? 3? Le Tissier never won anything or played more than a few times for England. Also I can't put Owen in and leave Lineker out, he is the top scorer after all, but he doesn't merit a place in the top 10 for me, he admits himself he'd have been nothing for England without Peter. They're all good players MLT, GL etc... but who would you remove to put them in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 I can't allow the likes of David Platt to be ahead of Waddle, I just can't. It's not necessarily what they did for England you know. The stats would tell you Platt was as good as any goalscoring midfielder we've ever had other than the Pig of Ashington, but he was efficient, nothing more. Waddle was the only English player to come in the top two for the European Player of The Year award in 20 years, and was voted Marseille's best ever player.
