#1 John Charles
Charles was a Welsh football player known for his versatility, who was capable of playing both as a striker and centre back at the top level. This gentle giant was built like a tank but was fast, agile, and technically gifted.
After being regarded as one of the best in the world in the 8 years he played for Leeds United, where he scored 157 goals in 297 games (which is even more impressive considering most of those games he played in defence), John Charles moved to Turin to play his trade at Juventus, being one of the first British players to play abroad.
In Italy, Charles won the Scudetto three times in the five years he played for Juve, and to this day, is still considered by the Juventus tifosi as the best ever foreigner to play for the club.
