That's a tough one. Yes,

from recent years probably Gazza, although Hoddle (should have had more caps!), Shilton and Lineker also rank up there.

Of all time ? Hard to say. Gazza is one, but hard to go above Bobby Moore really. Also Banks, Finney, Matthews, Bobby Charlton, Jimmy Greaves - all in with a shout.
