17 Gary Lineker


A master finisher who had an almost clairvoyant ability to know exactly where to be in the box at any given time. His talent as a penalty box striker helped Everton to title success, before successful spells at Barcelona, Tottenham and Grampus Eight in Japan. He was golden boot winner in the 1986 world cup and showed he was still among the world's best in 1990. Probably third only to Dixie Dean and Jimmy Greaves as a penalty box striker.
For: Pace, movement, finishing
Against: His arthritic toe
