From Beckham to Bale - ranking the best British exports this century
From David Beckham and Gareth Bale to Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, who are the best British exports this century?
Starting with the modern era, Fikayo Tomori led the pack with his Serie A Scudetto victory in 2021-22. A consistent force, Tomori has now completed seven seasons at Milan. Next, Jadon Sancho's time at Dortmund was transformative, netting 50 goals and adding 64 assists in 137 games. David Beckham then takes the fifth spot, having made a significant impact in the MLS and with AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
Scott McTominay's remarkable transformation in Serie A, leading Napoli to a historic fourth Scudetto, rounds out the top five. Owen Hargreaves, despite not being born in Britain, earned his place with 42 England caps and a slew of Bundesliga and German Cup titles at Bayern Munich.
