12. Duncan Edwards
When your teammates praise you, it is good, but when your opponents praise you that is something amazing. And Duncan Edwards has been praised by his peers, colleagues and his opponents alike. He merely played 18 international matches in his rather brief career. At the age of 21, he died in an unfortunate plane crash that also claimed 7 of his teammate’s lives. If he were alive, many speculate he might have surpassed even the best soccer players in the world, let alone England.
