13 John Charles


Charles was one of the few great players who was great in two positions: he played both centre back and striker at the highest level for Leeds United, Wales and Juventus. He fired Juventus to the league title with a great goals haul in Serie A and is Britain's most successful player to play abroad. He is regarded so well at Juventus that in a poll, he was voted greatest ever foreigner at Juventus, ahead of Maradona, Zidane and Platini. His career tailed off after he returned to England and he suffered with a few recurrent injuries.
For: A great footballer in two positions
Against: Suffered with injuries
