2) Clive Allen – The English striker and son of former Spurs forward Les Allen has represented more London clubs than anyone in history. He also scored a massive 202 goals in 418 appearances in a career that spanned nearly 17 years. As it turns out, he was also a half-decent American football player as well although he only played the sport for one season. He represented the London Monarchs in the now-defunct NFL Europe for one season, scoring every kick he ever made.
