#3 Len Shackleton
During his playing days, Len Shackleton was nicknamed as the 'Clown Prince of Soccer'. He was one of the best footballers in the English top-tier in the 1940s and played for Bradford Park Avenue, Newcastle United and Sunderland.
Trending
Functioning as an inside or an outside forward, he scored 134 goals in 427 appearances in the league and the knockout cup combined, in a span of 11 seasons. He also scored 171 goals in 209 games in wartime football.
The closest he came to winning silverware was in season 1949/50 when Sunderland finished second by just a point in the First Division. He also reached the FA Cup semi-final in 1955 and 1956 but failed to reach the finals on both the occasions.
A player who excelled equally well at Cricket as well as at Football, Len Shackleton had absolutely no achievements to showcase, barring the statistics of goals he scored for his clubs.
