Pride of the nation: Bobby Moore lifts the Jules Rimet in 1966

Of the current England players, only former captain David Beckham who finished seventh in the poll and present captain John Terry who finished ninth, made the top ten. Craig Davies, Pitch Invasion General Manager, said: "According to our survey, the ultimate England five-a-side team would be Banks in goal, Moore in defence, Bobby Charlton and Paul Gasgoine in midfield, and Gary Lineker up front providing the goals.

"Even though it was a long time ago, the achievements of the 1966 World Cup team are held in very high regard, with Moore, Banks and Charlton as its iconic players.

"Gary Lineker scored 10 goals at two World Cups, and Gazza is one of the most exciting and skilful English players to ever played the game." In the survey a total of 67 England players were selected, with players from the pre-66 World Cup era, such as Harry Gregg, Billy Wright, Duncan Edwards, Stanley Matthews and Not Lofthouse included.

The newest England cap to be voted for was Aaron Lennon.

The full list of 67 includes 8 of the 1966 World Cup winning team: Gordon Banks, Bobby Moore, Jackie Charlton, George Cohen, Nobby Stiles, Alan Ball, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst.
