27* players have played in a World Cup winning team whilst playing their club football for an English team. The 27 represent a total of 14 teams. No Googling, but I'll give you one player and one team to get you going:

Alexis Mac Allister played for Brighton & Hove Albion and Argentina in 2022.

26 players and 13 clubs to go.

One guess per post please.

*Edited because I missed one.

Solution
Jack Charlton was Leeds.
George Cohen - Fulham

(Still a couple of low-hanging fruit left from the 1966 team)
Arsenal: Petit, Vieira, Ozil, Fabregas, Mertesacker
Aston Villa: Martinez,
Blackpool: Ball,
Brighton: Mac Allister,
Chelsea: Le Bouef, Giroud, Schurrle, Kante,
Everton: Wilson,
Fulham: Coen,
Leeds: J Charlton,
Leicester: Banks,
Liverpool: Hunt, Torres,
Man U: R Charlton, Stiles, Pogba,
Spurs: Lloris, Romero
West Ham: Moore, Hurst, Peters.

One player and one club left.
With Pevenseagull's addition of Alvarez and Man City, everyone has been said. (Although I spelled George Cohen like Ethan and Joel by mistake).

Do you mean Juan Foyth? He didn't play in the Final and he doesn't play for Tottenham anymore. He signed permanently for Villareal in June last year. So he doesn't fulfil either of the criteria and that isn't his name.
But apart from that, spot on, right?! :lol:

Just realised that with this new NSC, you can mark an opening post as a question and then it allows you to upvote any correct answers. It only allowed me to mark one post as the solution, but I suppose that this might be different if you fiddle with the options when posting the question. Useful to know going forward.

In 98 years of World Cup football Brighton players have had more game time in the final than Man City players have.
