Pele won the World Cup three times with Brazil, with the Brazilian having a replica of one of the biggest prizes in football.

Gerrard represented England at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 World Cups and captained the Three Lions at the latter two tournaments.

The furthest the former Liverpool midfielder had gone in the international tournement was in 2006 in Germany, when England were knocked out by Portugal in the quarter finals.

Whilst Keane only featured in one World Cup in 2002 after playing for the Republic of Ireland for 18 years.

But the Boys in Green painfully missed out on the 2010 World Cup after Thierry Henry scored a decisive controversial goal in their qualification play-off against France.

Both MLS stars are now retired from international football, with Gerrard ending his international commitments in 2014, whilst Keane ended his time with the Republic of Ireland this year.
