Greatest Players in English Football History

The following rankings were compiled by Comme. These rankings are – of course – purely subjective and do not claim to be definitive.

Eligible are players that played for an English club regardless of their nationality. The rankings take into account accomplishments in domestic English competitions. International competitions or accomplishments of English footballers playing for foreign clubs are not accounted for (click on images to increase size).
