    John Charles (15)

    Career span 1948-74
    Country Wales: 38 caps, 15 goals
    Clubs Leeds United, Juventus, Leeds United, Roma, Cardiff City, Hereford United, Merthyr Tydfil
    Position forward, centre-half
    Medals 3 Italian titles, 2 Italian cups, 2 Welsh cups

    Not Diego Maradona. Not Marco van Basten. Not Ronaldo. Not Zinedine Zidane. The player at the top of Serie A’s greatest foreign imports is none other than the ‘gentle giant’ John Charles.

    Part of that is undoubtedly down to the period he joined. Before Charles arrived, Juventus hadn’t won a title in six years. After it, they won Serie A three times in four years, with one of them part of a double.

    By then, he had also been at the heart of Wales’s greatest ever international achievement as they reached the last eight of the 1958 World Cup. Only a Pele goal put them out, with Charles missing the game through injury. Brian Glanville wondered what might have happened had he been fit, since he had given opposition teams “immense trouble” throughout.

    Indeed, one of his greatest gifts was undoubtedly his sheer presence, which helped him reach “a world-class level” – according to Bobby Robson – as a centre-half and centre-forward. Not to mention in two different countries.

    John Charles is a player I looked at. Apparently he got voted Juve's best ever foreign player, over the likes of Platini and Zidane. Must've had something about him.

    Just assumed you'd be playing him up top but I just had a look at your attack there. Some amount of goals in that team.

    Considering three at the back with Breitner at DM, in that scenario I'd throw him up top. Depends how the next few picks pan out.

    2nd last pick is real difficult. I've thought about it overnight and got one. Just have to sweat it out now and hope nobody else goes for it!
