Tom Finney
  Tom Finney   Born: Preston, 1922
Teams: Preston North End
Caps: 76, 30 goals

More information:
A master technician, Finney was one of the greatest wingers that ever lived. He had an excellent scoring record for England but despite his extravagant individual skill he was a team player. He even drove tanks in the Eighth Army in World War II. Can you imagine a modern player driving a tank, except as a prank after an evening of drinking and roasting?
 

John Barnes
  John Barnes   Born: Kingston, Jamaica, 1963
Teams: Watford, Liverpool, Newcastle United, Charlton Athletic
Caps: 79, 11 goals

More information:
Barnesy was blessed with a deft touch and great balance along with a wicked left foot, but World in Motion proved there were limits to his abilities. He will always be remembered for his brilliant individual goal against Brazil when he seemed to be impersonating a Brazilian. Was never to scale the heights of that Brazil game again and took unreasonable abuse from his own fans at the tail-end of his England career.
