Don't think Bobby Moore was overlooked, think he died way too young but would have got his knighthood if he had lived... Charlton and Hurst received their knighthoods after Moore died...But I take your point about performance over a period, but I would still have GH in my team...
Oooh I like this! I've gone with players I've seen for England and not a historical XI
Manager - Bobby Robson
Formation
4-1-3-2
GK - Shilton
RB - Neville
LB - Pearce
CB - Butcher
CB - Walker
DM - Robson
CM - Gascoigne
CM - Gerrard
CM - Scholes
ST - Lineker
ST - Shearer
Subs - Seaman, Ferdinand, A.Cole, Lampard, Platt, Collymore.
I know the Collymore choice is odd - I just always rated him as a player until his Liverpool move. I genuinely think he had the potential to be THE greatest striker England have ever had.

Do we need another thread for a Rest of the World 11?
No. It's quite uplifting to think of the England players we enjoyed watching. It quite depressing to think of the players the Rest of the World could offer, Puskas, Di Stefano, Pele, Maradonna, Cryuff, here you are, eat your heart out:
