Phil Neal

Next up is Englishman Phil Neal who made 50 appearances for the Three Lions from 1976 to 1983. During the 1982 and 1986 World Cup, England didn’t make it past the quarterfinals. We have to point out that he is England’s most decorated player, ever. For 12 seasons, he played for Liverpool and only missed one game!

Ronald Koeman

Accomplished and decorated. Those are two words that describe Ronald Koeman as a defender, whether for his country or club. He made 78 appearances for the Netherlands and he provided a different dimension to the team when it came to attacking play. He scored 14 goals for his country but never walked away with a World Cup win.
