Was thinking of Collymore earlier, but assumed he won something at Liverpool.
Tom Finney hadn’t won anything, literally, although his horrible Preston side got in a couple of FA Cup finals and finished runners up twice (if I remember it correctly, those numbers may vary slightly). He’s one of the greatest players that England had ever produced – arguably top-5, and he is also one of the very few footballers to be knighted (Charlton, Matthews, Finney, Hurst - that’s it, I think?).
Preston - West Bromwich FA Cup final was literally painful to watch, you have Finney (apparently, injured) playing like Lionel Messi and then there are 10 other Preston players, who wouldn’t even get a professional contract today.
Edit: he had won a second division title, but I don’t count that. Twice FWA footballer of the year as well.
I know you’re a Pool fan but if you’re putting Son there then you have to also put Baines there.So, top players who genuinely didn't win anything listed so far
Tom Finney
Harry Kane
Le Tissier
Bernd Schneider
Guiseppe Signori
Son Heung-min
Not sure if they can be called great, but Jermaine Defoe and Stan Collymore never won anything either.
At his peak, Babies had a better delivery from set pieces than peak RVP IMOBaines was at least in the top 3 LBs in the league for a good 5 years (2010-15). Was in TOTY in 11-12 and 12-13 when he was arguably one of the best in the world.
I actually meant to. Forget in the end.I know you’re a Pool fan but if you’re putting Son there then you have to also put Baines there.
32 G and 53 A in 420 PL appearances in his era for a full back is great considering the Everton sides he was playing in. Not to mention the awards he individually won during that period.
