Brazil legend Roberto Carlos surprisingly names John Terry as his favourite English player ahead of former team-mate David Beckham... with Real Madrid icon also praising Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard

Brazil and Real Madrid icon Roberto Carlos has surprisingly named former Chelsea captain John Terry as his favourite English player - ahead of former team-mate David Beckham.

Carlos played with Beckham for four years in the Spanish capital as part of the famous 'Galacticos' era, winning a LaLiga title together in 2007.

The Brazil left back also played alongside Steve McManaman, Micheal Owen and Jonathan Woodgate during his time at the Bernabeu but despite this, none of those players got a mention when the 48-year-old was asked by SPORTbible who his favourite English player ever was.
