In recent times the only ones that have been world class when they actually played for us are Tevez and Payet.

While playing for us??
Payet
Tevez
Di Canio

Always thought Bilic was a class above. Maybe Rob Green for a period.

Just World class. Could get into say any team in Europe any some point in their career.

Budgie in his prime.
Greenwood didn't call him "the English Di Stefano" for nothing.

What is "world class"? How many minutes is "early doors"? What is, exactly, "a sitter"? Etc etc.
All just clichés. BUT, if you define it as "maybe get selected for a World XI * While Playing For WHU..."
MOORE (no question)
PETERS (maybe)
HURST (almost by definition)
BROOKING (at some point: and, ironically, probably when England were mostly shit overall)
PAYET (maybe. We got lucky with him!)
I don't see any others. I'd love to argue Devonshire and DiCanio of course, but that really would be C&B specs....
* There isn't an alien XI though so, again, somewhat academic.

I'd go with that. Actually think for a short period Dev was. Certainly without that injury he would have been.

Wasn't Greaves shit for us, though?
I'm not old enough, and - unlike 66 lads - one rarely sees old clips of him in C&B. Just "them".

Greaves and Brady were both washed up by the time they got to us weren't they?
