Fans Have Voted For England's All-Time Greatest XI And The Results Are Controversial

There's no place for a number of bonafide legends.

England fans have voted for their greatest team of all-time in a controversial Twitter poll and some huge names have missed out.

The Three Lions have been blessed with incredible players across their history and narrowing it down to just 11 is difficult.

But The Sun tasked fans with picking from a select number of players to finally determine England's best side.

No active player manages to make it and there is also no spot for Wayne Rooney - their top goalscorer.

Lineup Builder

Of the current crop, only Harry Kane was included in selection and he narrowly missed out to Gary Lineker.

Paul Scholes also makes it in over Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard - despite retiring from international football in 2004.

The Manchester United man wasn't happy with how he was being used by manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and opted to step away.

Gerrard and Lampard would play for their country for another decade and Gerrard even became captain in 2012.

David Beckham's inclusion at right midfield comes as no surprise given how iconic he's become.

Same can be said for Paul Gascoigne partnering Scholes, but he edged it out over Bobby Charlton in a shock call.

Another World Cup winner in the form of Bobby Moore makes it in at the back next to John Terry.

Sir Bobby Robson manages the side after guiding England to the World Cup semi-finals at Italia 90 - still regarded as 'one that got away' when it comes to international glory.
