Greaves also got his goals with 0 pens as well.  Changing my mind.  Putting Jimmy at number 1.  Didn't realise Lineker had 4 pens for England.

Interesting analysis of the stats for both Charlton & Rooney in 4-4-2
http://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/wayne-rooney-vs-bobby-charlton-whos-got-best-england-scoring-record
Charlton scored more in friendlies...

Lineker would have equalled the 49 if he hadn't tried to be cute with 'that' penalty.

Ultimately it's hard to argue with Greaves' record
Then Charlton (who would have been beyond priceless in today's market)
Rooney tips it in front of Salt n Vinegar boy because of his contribution beyond the goals
Then Owen, although even I would put Shearer ahead of Owen, I'd put Channon and MacDonald ahead of Owen too. Oh, and Hurst obviously.

Greaves just ahead of Charlton for me.

I think Tom Finney might be one of the most under-rated English players, and Lineker was probably the best goal-hanger. Owen obviously the finest commentator.
