4) Joe Hayes

Born in 1936 in Kearsley, Hayes began his professional footballing career with Manchester City. Hayes walked onto the City team in 1953 after having a trial that impressed the team enough to sign him. Before signing for City, Hayes had held several jobs – including working in a coal mine like Billy Meredith.

Hayes had an excellent career with City, scoring 152 goals in all competitions. He was apart of the squad that made it to the FA Cup final in 1955 and lost. Not done, City made it to the final stage of the FA Cup again the next year, where they beat Birmingham City. Hayes scored a crucial goal in the match that helped City hoist the trophy.

During his tenure at City, Hayes made a monstrous 331 appearances in the league alone, 363 in total and is more than deserving to hold the number four spot on this list. After 12 years at City, Hayes moved to Barnsley in 1965, and then Wigan Athletic the following year before eventually retiring at the end of the 1967 season.
