Dixie Dean
  Dixie Dean   Born: Birkenhead, 1907
Teams: Tranmere Rovers, Everton, Notts County, Sligo Rovers
Caps: 16, 18 goals

More information:
Dixie Dean's scoring record was so good it looks totally made up. Sixty league goals in a season? Get out of it! I just don't believe it. Plus, he scored 22 more in cup and international games that year. Surely this is some kind of Roswell-type prank? His England scoring record puts all our current forwards to shame. Dixie died watching his beloved Everton play Liverpool. I'm not sure he even existed.
 

Alan Shearer
  Alan Shearer   Born: Newcastle, 1970
Teams: Southampton, Blackburn Rovers, Newcastle United
Caps: 63, 30 goals

More information:
How England miss Alan Shearer. Before a series of knee injuries he seemed like the perfect striker. Strong in the air, a great team player, a wicked shot with either foot, a great crosser and a clever striker. One of the few modern strikers tough enough to hack it in the old days (where there was a lot of hacking going on) he's more than earned his place as an England legend.
