Who is the Best All-Around Player England Has Ever Produced?

[HolisticJim]

Gascoigne, without a shadow of doubt. The talent he had was off the scale just a shame he had rocks where his brain should be.

I`d turn the tv on just to watch him play the beautiful game.

I used to watch Italian footy TV show on the weekend just to see if Gazza was on it.

Amazing player.

Gareth waistcoat Southgate, obvs

I don't like saying this but have to give the lad his due. He may not be the best most versatile but he should be in the conversation.

I think that he could be an excellent coach. Another one was Gareth Barry. Great professionals that always gave their best.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Gazza for me.

It has to be Geoff Hurst. Won you the World Cup. Replaced the ultimate striker Jimmy Greaves and did what he was supposed to do…..score goals. He didn’t need to be an all around player but just a striker who scored goals when it mattered.

And yet, he had to be an all round player to be in this competition? Hurst wasn’t any more than Gordon Banks……..

The more I think about this, the more Brian Robson sadly fits the bill.

I did think Bryan Robson.but couldn't stomach building an argument for him.ditto Steven Gerrard.

errr...well for an all rounder... I hate to say it, but....Alan Ball. He was all over the pitch, could do everything, watch the 66 final again and watch ball, he did get man of the match, but people seem to forget that

I am so biased and narrow-minded I refuse to look past King Colin. An honour and an immense privilege to have seen him play.
