Greats such as Eric Cantona and Paul Scholes were nominated by The Debate panel, while our journalists offered other suggestions in the form of George Best and Lee Sharpe.
From the 10-man shortlist, two players stood out: David Beckham and Cantona.
The duo accumulated 25 per cent of the vote each, with Best and Dimitar Berbatov the next closest with 16 and 14 per cent, respectively.
Both Beckham and Cantona were iconic both on and off the pitch and continue to turn heads well into their retirements.
'Becks' has transcended football and is now globally recognised for his fashion and charity work.
