Billy Wright
  Billy Wright   Born: Ironbridge, 1924
Teams: Wolverhampton Wanderers
Caps: 105, 3 goals

More information:
The first England player to reach 100 caps, Billy Wright captained England 90 times. He played in 70 consecutive games for England, a record unlikely to be broken unless science is able to cure SMFI (Sudden Meaningless Friendly Injury). Despite being only 5 ft 8, Billy was imperious in the air. He was also a tough tackler and fine passer. A great ambassador for English football, fondly remembered as a true gent.
 

Bobby Moore
  Bobby Moore   Born: Barking, 1941
Teams: West Ham United, Fulham
Caps: 108. 2 goals

More information:
Bobby Moore is one of the most admired footballers the world has known. He made his England debut at 21 and became captain the next year. His positional sense and timing put him ahead of most strikers he faced and his distribution was impeccable. A born leader who inspired calm in those around him, he was Sir Alf's team 'heartbeat'. Just looking at his picture can cause grown men to forget their worries and blow bubbles.
