Cyrille Regis - This forward was eligible to play international football for either England or France (he was born in French Guiana, and moved with his family to England in 1962), but he chose the former and ended his career with five senior caps. A striker ahead of his time in many ways, Regis was an immensely powerful athlete who scored for fun, most notably in the colours of West Brom, Coventry City and then Aston Villa.
