Ten most iconic post war English footballers.

[WBA1955]

The trouble with Bomber was he never had any stand out traits. Hardly ever celebrated a goal, seemed very shy and modest.
You can't think of any stand out funny things Bomber did.
All he ever did was play for us for twenty years, score loads and loads of goals and broke every record at the club.

The bottom line is that if you asked a hundred people the question very few of that one hundred would pick the same ten. As many of you have stated, it's all a matter of opinion. What would be interesting is that if you did ask one hundred people you could then count the number of votes and show a top ten from those votes.

If everyone on here picked a ten that would be a decent reflection. There would have to be a limit of one Albion player though.

For Albion fans undoubtedly but like 55 says not nationwide. Ian Callaghan at Liverpool would be in the same category.

Very difficult. Amongst other things the generation to which you belong (and consequently the players you have seen and grown up with) could very likely strongly influence your choices. And consciously or otherwise you will feel a bias towards the team you support. Whatever the arguments and as we are talking about 'icons' there is now a very strong case for including Cyrille Regis. I have been taken aback by the extent of genuine comments about Regis the man and the player. I have never seen anything like it. He is an icon and a must for any list.
