We always talk about attackers until we remember that defending is a different art, maybe not so glamorous but just as skillful in a different way. My top 4 would be Maldini, Beresi, Bobby Moore and Franz Beckenbauer. but I would have to mention Ledley King and Paul McGrath but I am sure there are others and some of the current ones will certainly be up there.
Goalkeepers is the interesting one

On the one hand I think if Lev Yashin were playing today he'd likely be at Bayern, Gordon Banks would surely be England's first choice and Pat Jennings would probably be with us

On the other hand, Peter Shilton would probably be at someone like Palace while Rene Higuita would probably be in MLS as he'd drive managers in most other leagues spare
 
Whatever happens now this is the best England team i have seen since 1970
In all honesty, I find them tedious to watch. They are defensively sound and efficient but boring.

V Scotland... 9 attempts and 1 on target.
V Croatia .... 8 attempts and 2 on target.
V Czech Republic... 5 attempts and 3 on target.
V Germany ... 9 attempts and 3 on target.
V Denmark ... 20 attempts and 10 on target.
V Italy ... First half ... 1 attempt 1 on target.

Given a choice it ain't how I wanna watch football to be honest...and I wouldn't pay to go watch it.

But in all fairness no one will give a **** in 45 minutes when they lift the trophy.
