Clough was oddly overlooked by England, despite having probably the best goals ratio of any striker in post-war history, averaging not far short of a goal a game throughout his career at Middlesbrough and Sunderland until a knee injury ended his career before his 30th birthday. Many believe he was only selected by England twice because his 'face didn't fit' and he was considered too volatile and surly by the England managers of the era.
For: unrivalled goalscoring ratio
Against: Played some of his football outside of the top flight
