England against France. The almanac states its case, the crowd votes, you decide.
England · 1955–69 · LB
It is his shoulder, alongside Geoff Hurst's, that holds Bobby Moore aloft in the photograph every England fan knows, taken minutes after the 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley on 30 July 1966. He played all six matches of that World Cup as the oldest man in Alf Ramsey's side at 31, won the FA Cup with Everton a few weeks earlier, and collected 63 England caps after twelve years at Huddersfield.
France · 1980s · LB
One of France's finest full-backs, he marauded down the flanks for Monaco and Marseille, winning the Champions League and reaching the Euro 1984 final with Les Bleus. Career record: 82 caps and 1 goals for France; club career at AS Monaco, Olympique de Marseille, Olympique Lyonnais.
