Joe Baker, ex of the Arse, is probably worthy of a nod.
An old fashioned English centre forward, albeit one who was raised in Motherwell and started his career at Hibs, after his early success in Edinburgh he moved to Torino (where he shared an apartment with Denis Law) and then to Highbury where he was our top scorer for three of the four seasons he spent at the old marble halls.
He was then (controversially given, at 26, he was probably still in theory to peak) sold to Forest where, in his first season, came as close as he ever would to a major honour when the tricky Trees finished as runners-up in the old Div One to the Busby Babes, who would win the following season's European Cup.
Joe is probably most famous nowadays for being the only other player before Owen Hargreaves who was capped for England without ever playing for an English club. He was (apparently) close to selection for the 66 WC squad, but was ultimately overlooked for the tyro Hurst.
Joe probably wouldn't thank you for calling him English though, he was born in Liverpool to Scottish parents who moved back to their homeland when he was 18 months old. He played for the Scottish schoolboys but apparently the rules that pertained at the time meant England was his only option for a senior cap.
This is probably borne out by his elder brother Gerry, born in New York (their dad was a merchant seaman, I think, so they moved about a bit between port cities), playing for the US rather than Scotland.
Joe scored 93 league goals for the Arse in 144 games and 301 in 504 in total senior football, a ratio that stacks up pretty favourably against some of the greats of the English game.
