The Sun ranker tidenes britiske spiller i utenlandsk fotball.
Ikke overraskende på topp; vår egen John Charles - foran Keegan, Waddle, Becks, Platt, McManaman, med flere...

No1: John Charles
Charles was nicknamed Il Gigante Buono â€" The Gentle Giant â€" during his five thrilling years with Juventus. The Welsh hitman scored well over a goal every other game before his departure in 1962. Charles won three league titles and was later voted as the club's best ever foreigner, ahead of even Michel Platini.

Hull to splash out on Newcastle striker Smith

Hull City boss Phil Brown is chasing Newcastle United striker Alan Smith.
The News of the World says Smith has not played a single game for the Toon this season and is one of the many stars desperate to leave St James' Park.
He was hoping to join Everton earlier this season but the deal fell through - and now Brown is poised to offer the former Manchester United striker a chance to resurrect his top-flight career.
Smith could join the Tigers on loan until the end of the season with a view to making the deal permanent for around £3million.

Ameobi - returns to Doncaster.

AMEOBI BACK WITH DONCASTER
Doncaster striker Tomi Ameobi has returned to the Keepmoat Stadium following a month's loan at Grimsby.
The 20-year-old made three appearances for the Mariners but fell out of favour when Mike Newell took over as manager of the League Two strugglers.
Ameobi told Rovers' official site: "I started in two games while at Grimsby and I felt that I did quite well.
"Despite that, the results didn't go the way that everybody with the club wanted them to.
"A new manager came in and he has said that he wants to try new things."

My poker dot pants
BURNLEY striker Robbie Blake has revealed the story behind his cheeky midweek goal celebration at Coventry.
The Clarets ace put his team 2-1 ahead then dropped his shorts to reveal red pants bearing the slogan ‘Bad Beat Bob’.
Blake said: “A bad beat is when you have a good poker hand that is a clear favourite to win but is beaten.
“When we play on the bus, I think I am miles ahead and it turns out the only card someone needs to beat me, they get!
“When Clarke Carlisle told me he’d got me a present and I had to wear them at Coventry, I said no problem. Then he turns up with these bright red slips with, ‘Bad Beat Bob’ on.
“He said, ‘If you score, you have to whip them bad boys out’ â€" what great timing!”

Burnley fans are desperate to buy replica copies of Robbie Blake's pants. The striker dropped his shorts after scoring last week revealing a pair of red pants with the words 'Bad Beat Bob.'
Burnley have ordered more replicas after the first 50 pairs sold out. (The Sun)

Ex-Leeds and Reds ace shrugs off disease to shine
Former Leeds United and Liverpool winger Harry Kewell brushed off speculation over his health to score in Galatasaray's 3-1 victory over Gaziantepspor in the Turkish Super Lig.
Kewell, released by Liverpool at the end of last season, opened the scoring after 10 minutes to dampen speculation that his future was in doubt.
Reports emerged over the weekend that the 30-year-old had been hit by hepatitis and was putting his team-mates at risk of infection.
Kewell's representatives confirmed that the player has autoimmune hepatitis, a non-contagious form of the disease, which he has been suffering from since childhood.
The Aussie winger now has seven goals from 13 appearances for Galatasaray.

Greg's hoping it's a case of seconds in for manager's job at Cumbrians

Greg Abbott is hoping that his second opportunity as caretaker manager of Carlisle will be luckier than his first.
Football being the cut-throat business it is, he has also accepted that his failure to stabilise the Cumbrian club in the lead up to Christmas would be liable to leave him without a job.
The former Leeds United academy coach has stepped onto the fine tightrope from which many capable understudies have fallen.
John Carver â€" a coach who Carlisle courted around the time when Abbott was named as their assistant two years ago â€" saw his ambition of managing Leeds wrecked by a desperate spell as caretaker in 2006, a reign which imploded so severely that Carver was forced to leave Elland Road and make way for Dennis Wise.

O'HALLORAN LOANED TO SWANSEA
Swansea have signed Aston Villa defender Stephen O'Halloran on a three-month loan deal to cover for injured left-back Marcos Painter.
The Irish youngster has yet to make a first-team appearance for Villa, but was on loan at Southampton and Leeds United last season, only to suffer a knee injury ahead of his Whites debut.
He is looking forward to his time at the Liberty Stadium and the 20-year-old accepts it is a big season for him.

VIF vurderer Harte-kontrakt

Vålerenga vurderer å tilby den tidligere Leeds-backen Ian Harte (31) kontrakt.
Harte var på prøvespill i VIF i slutten av oktober.
â€" Det er jo tydelig at han holder et veldig høyt nivå, og CV-en hans taler jo for seg. Han har uttrykt at han er interessert i en overgang og synes Oslo virker som en bra by, sier Vålerengas sportsdirektør Jan-Erik Aalbu til dagbladet.no.
â€" Vi må gå noen runder de neste ukene for å finne ut om dette er rett mann for Vålerenga, og ikke minst om han er sulten nok for å spille for oss, sier Aalbu.
Harte hadde kontrakt med Sunderland forrige sesong og har spilt over 200 kamper for Leeds.

Jordan opts to leave Pompey

Former Manchester United, Leeds United and AC Milan striker Joe Jordan has decided to leave his coaching role at Portsmouth.
The 56-year-old Scot had spent the last four years at Fratton Park but was believed to have been unhappy when he was overlooked for the manager's job last month.


JOE JORDAN

Pompey, who decided Tony Adams was the man to replace Harry Redknapp, said in a brief statement: "Portsmouth Football Club would like to thank Joe for his significant contribution during four successful years at Fratton Park and wish him well for the future."
Meanwhile, owner Alexandre Gaydamak is confident Adams can build on the foundations Redknapp has laid at Fratton Park.
Rumours continue to surface regarding Pompey's financial situation, but Gaydamak says: I'll back Tony 100 percent - otherwise why would I make him the manager?
"He's fully backed by myself and the board and he's aware of that. I never interfered with football matters when Harry Redknapp was manager and I will not interfere with football matters now that Tony Adams is manager.
"My job is to give him the tools to deliver. Whatever he decides, it's his call.
"We're in the Premier League, which is the best league in the world, but now we also get the chance to play AC Milan in Europe - it's fantastic.
"It's about growth. We want to finish in the top-ten again and go as far as we can in Europe. The FA Cup is a lottery but hopefully we can win the lottery again.
"I'm extremely grateful for what Harry has done. I think it's normal that when an opportunity to manage a huge club like Tottenham comes along, a manager of his calibre should take it. I'm happy for him and wish him all the best.
"He leaves us a strong legacy and we have to take up the challenge.

Ex-Spurs No2 Poyet: I could've taken Newcastle job

Former Tottenham assistant coach Gus Poyet admits he could've taken the Newcastle United job earlier this season.
“In the first five days after Keegan left I could have taken the job,” Poyet told The Times. “I was interested and was ready, but after all the madness and craziness with the fans I decided it wasn’t right for me. I like to fight, but when you know you’re not welcome in a place it’s better not to risk it.
"The relationship I have with Dennis (Wise) would have made it very difficult for me, especially given it would have been my first job as a manager.”

HUCKERBY RULES OUT NORWICH RETURN

Former Norwich striker Darren Huckerby has ruled out a return to the club on a short-term deal after returning home for the MLS close season.
The 32-year-old was at Carrow Road for five years before leaving for the San Jose Earthquakes last summer, and Huckerby insists he will not be following in fellow MLS star David Beckham's boots and finding football over the winter.
"I don't want to add fuel to the fire or anything like that because we all know that's not going to happen," Huckerby told the Norwich Evening News.
"Everything comes to an end. I got to grips with it fairly quickly that my time was done here and just because the team aren't doing so well, it's not as easy as that."
Huckerby, who made over 200 appearances for the Canaries, has also ruled out moving to any other team because he does not want to come up against his former club.
"My stance has been pretty clear from day one. I won't play against Norwich," added Huckerby.
