How many genuinely World Class English players have there been since.................

[JohnnyLambert]

Compare him to Trzeguet, stats are very similar. Is Ttrez world class in your opinioon

Trezeguet won a golden boot has he??

**** dont even compare David Trezeguet to Gary Lineker!!

[The_weatherman]

As for Ronnie see dww post.

Terry, I'd rather ha Nesta

I´m not sure Nesta would be much better than Terry, still IMO and that´s all it is, my opinion, Terry and Lampard can be classed as world class. Lampard is no all-rounder, I am aware of that but look at what he does for Chelsea.

frank lampard

He's no Scott Brown.

Definite world class (i.e done it for a number of years at the top level - club and country and probably classed as top one or two in their position)

Shearer - 92-200 probably the best CF in the league an top 3 in the world (complete)
Scholes - 97 onwards he has been peerless
Gascoigne - early-mid 90's he was sensational
Neville (G.) - In the top 3 right backs in the worl for over a decade
Beckham - 97-02 The perfect team player. 10 goals a year, more assists and phenomenal work rate. Best in the world at his job.
Gerrard - See above and say 00-onwards

No-one else.

[Dalglish]

He's no Scott Brown.

I know who I'd rather have in my team

They both do their assigned task - score goals.
That is a difficult art.
If you want to look past that, saying that they don't have enough skills, sure, go ahead.
I think Lineker was a world class striker.

Good list.

Zola perhaps?
Cantona was good too, but a ****.

[disco]

Gary Neville could ever be called World Class unless we're talking about Mars.

Defenders - Sol, Terry, Adams, Rio, Carra

Midfield - Gerrard, Giggs, Scholes, Beckham, McManaman

Strikers - Owen, Shearer, Rooney

Rush, Barnes, Beardsley were past their best for the premiership, but clearly world-class.

I can't count Fowler as he didn't prove it for England.

[dww]

I think Ruud van Nistelrooy deserves a mention, seeing as Zola, Bergkamp etc. have been bought into it.
