10 Best One-Club Men In Football History
6. Jack Charlton
Being a crucial part of England's only ever World Cup-winning side should be enough to get Jack Charlton on any football list written by an Englishman whatever the category, but in this case, we think a club record 762 appearances for Leeds United is a legitimate reason for the late legend's inclusion here.
From 1950 to 1973, Charlton established himself as one of the country's top footballing heroes. An obvious choice for the Yorkshire side's greatest ever XI, he helped guide Leeds to Second Division, First Division, FA Cup, League Cup and Charity Shield glory - just a bit of success you might say. Despite managing four different sides, the Northumberland-native's loyalties as a player were solidified at Elland Road ever since his trial with the Peacocks aged 15.
Charlton is a prime example of the kind of dedicated footballer that often existed before the lucrative advancements of the sport such as the Premier League's creation and excessive wage demands. Seemingly, Charlton is the kind of no-nonsense centre-back England's modern team could use to finally break the long wait for another international trophy. At the very least he wouldn't have been arrested in Mykonos, although allegedly he was quite the 1957 party animal, so who knows?
