Recieved 108 caps in only 11 years (thats 17 less than Shilton managed in 20 years and 2 more than Charlton managed in 12 years)
He is the most capped outfield player in English football
To be fair to Shilton he shared the job with Clemence for years and would have got over 150 caps if Clem hadn't been around at the time.

As a neutral although Bobby Moore won less than Bobby Charlton I'd put him ahead in the immortality stakes but only by a short head, both were amongst the greatest players I ever saw, if somebody put them both into an all time X1 they'd get no argument from me.
