PETER BROADBENT - WOLVES - 0050

Broadbent began his professional career at Brentford in 1950, but spent less than a year with the club before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in February 1951 for £10,000.

The midfielder remained with Wolves until 1965, making 497 appearances in total and scoring 145 goals. During this time, he won three league championships (1953/54, 1957/58, 1958/59) and one FA Cup (1960) with the club. He scored the club's first ever goal in European competition when he netted against Schalke in a European Cup tie in November 1958.

He represented England seven times, scoring twice (a double against Wales), after making his debut in the 1958 World Cup.

He finally left Molineux in January 1965 to join Shrewsbury Town for a short spell, before moving to Aston Villa where he played for three years.

In his autobiography, George Best said he was a Wolves fan and that Broadbent was the player he most admired.

DANNY BLANCHFLOWER - SPURS - 0049

In 1954 he was bought by Tottenham Hotspur from Villa for the huge fee of £30,000, and during his ten years at White Hart Lane he made 337 league appearances.

The highlight of his time at Spurs came with the 1960–61 season. With Blanchflower as captain Spurs won their first 11 games, still a record for the top flight of English football and eventually ran out as league champions by 8 points. They then beat Leicester City in the final of the FA Cup to become the first team in the 20th century to win the League and Cup double, not achieved since Aston Villa in 1897.

In 1962 he again captained the Spurs team to victory in the FA Cup (scoring a penalty in the final against Burnley), only narrowly missing out on a second double when they finished a close third in the league behind Ipswich Town and Burnley, and in 1963 he captained his side to victory over Atlético Madrid in the final of the European Cup Winners' Cup.

Between 1949 and 1963, he earned 56 caps for Northern Ireland, often playing alongside his brother Jackie, and in 1958 captained his country when they reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

ROY BENTLEY - FULHAM - 0048

Having scored 150 goals in 367 appearances, Bentley is currently joint fourth in Chelsea's all-time goalscorers list, level with Peter Osgood as Frank Lampard topped the goal tally on the 27th of March 2010. He was top scorer at the club in each of his eight full seasons there.

Bentley signed for Chelsea's West London neighbours Fulham in 1956. At Fulham, Bentley was successfully converted into a centre-half, and they reached the FA Cup semi-finals in 1958, where he was once again on the losing side. In 1960 he left Fulham but again stayed in West London, this time moving to Queens Park Rangers, where he saw out the remainder of his playing career.

GORDON BANKS - ENGLAND - 0047

The 1970 save against Pelé

Playing at pace, Brazil were putting England under enormous pressure and an attack was begun by captain Carlos Alberto who sent a fizzing low ball down the right flank for the speedy Jairzinho to latch on to. The Brazilian winger sped past left back Terry Cooper and reached the byline. Stretching slightly, he managed to get his toes underneath the fast ball and deliver a high but dipping cross towards the far post. Banks, like all goalkeepers reliant on positional sensibility, had been at the near post and suddenly had to turn on his heels and follow the ball to its back post destination.

Waiting for the ball was Pelé, who had arrived at speed and with perfect timing. He leapt hard at the ball above England right back Tommy Wright and thundered a harsh, pacy downward header towards Banks' near post corner. The striker, the world's greatest, shouted "Goal!" as he connected with the ball. Banks was still making his way across the line from Jairzinho's cross and in the split-second of assessment the incident allowed, it seemed impossible for him to get to the ball. He also had to dive slightly backwards and down at the same time which is almost physically impossible. Yet he hurled himself downwards and backwards and got the base of his thumb to the ball, with the momentum sending him cascading to the ground. It was only when he heard the applause and praise of captain Bobby Moore and then looked up and saw the ball trundling towards the advertising hoardings at the far corner, that he realised he'd managed to divert the ball over the bar - he'd known he got a touch but still assumed the ball had gone in. England were not being well received by the locals after cutting comments made about Mexico prior to the tournament by Ramsey, but spontaneous applause rang around the Guadalajara, Jalisco stadium as Banks got back into position to defend the resulting corner. Pelé, who'd begun to celebrate a goal when he headed the ball, would later describe the save as the greatest he'd ever seen.

Gordon Banks would later describe the save as the thing he would remain best known for. “It's something that people will always remember me for,” he said in 2005. "They won’t remember me for winning the World Cup, it’ll be for that save. That’s how a big a thing it is. People just want to talk about that save.”

PATRICK VIEIRA - ARSENAL - 0046

Arsenal

In September 1996, the incoming Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger requested Vieira's purchase from Milan prior to taking up his position. Vieira was signed for £3.5 million, a figure which would be deemed a bargain in years to come. His height, stamina and physical strength allowed him to settle into the English game quickly, while his composure and the quality of his passing cemented his position as an integral part of Wenger's stylish attacking side.

In 03/04 at Arsenal, he captained the side on a historic unbeaten season in the Premier League.

On July 14, 2005, Arsenal accepted a bid of £18 million from Juventus and Vieira agreed a five-year contract the following day.

In total, Vieira played 407 times for Arsenal and scored 34 times.

FREDDIE LJUNGBERG - ARSENAL - 0045

Ljungberg was signed by Arsenal in 1998 for £3 million, which at the time was the biggest transfer fee ever for a Swedish player. Ljungberg scored on his debut after coming on as a substitute against Manchester United, the match ending 3-0.

He endeared himself to Arsenal supporters by having a bright red stripe in his hair. Ljungberg placed 11th in Arsenal.com's Gunners' Greatest 50 Players.
