Greatest British player of all time?

5 Champions Leagues
111 international caps
And more goals at Real Madrid than Ronaldo.

Can’t think of any British player in the modern era that gets near him?

Best Welsh player of all time (never mind British)? Think the ghost of John Charles might have a bit to say about that (though as a Gentle Giant he would never have pushed his name forward). Still revered at Juventus - and not many Brits became overseas legends outside the UK in the 1950s.

It’s quality not quantity. Any fit Taff could have got 50+ Welsh caps
Exactly|! it really made me cringe watching Sky Sports News last night, listening to other Welsh "legends" like Robbie Earnshaw rabbit on about how he was the greatest player the world had even seen.
