#8 Bryan Robson (1980-91)
Appearances: 90
Goals: 26
"Captain Marvel," Bryan Robson played for England for 11 years, during which time he captained his country 65 times, a number only beaten by Billy Wright and Sir Bobby Moore.
He was selected for the 1980 European Championship squad but did not play during the tournament.
In his 13th cap, in September 1981, he scored his first goal for England and began to become a fixture in the centre of the team's midfield.
At the 1982 World Cup, Robson scored the fastest ever goal at a World Cup finals, after just 27 seconds. It was a record that stood for 20 years until it was surpassed by Davor Sukur at the 2002 tournament.
He captained his country for the first time that November and became England's best player; an energetic box to box midfielder, Robson had stunning anticipation as well as great goal-scoring and tackling ability.
He led England to the 1986 World Cup finals but was injured in the group stages and watched from the sidelines as his country reached the Quarter Finals wherein they were eliminated by the good and bad of Diego Maradona; namely the goal of the tournament and the infamous "Hand of God."
Robson again led from the front with an array of fine personal performances during qualifying for the 1988 European Championship. However, he was unable to prevent England from making an early exit in the finals.
Robson participated in a third World Cup finals for England, however, his personal Italia 90 ended early as he was once again injured in the group stages. This time the squad went one better as they reached the Semi-Finals; ultimately eliminated by West Germany on a penalty shootout.
The following year, Robson retired from England duty after scoring 26 goals in 90 appearances; "Captain Marvel" indeed.
