He is followed by Bobby Charlton (14), David Beckham (13), and Gary Lineker (12). These players not only made many appearances but also often played crucial roles in key matches. Besides these legends, which other players have made at least 10 World Cup appearances? For example, John Barnes, Paul Scholes, and Ashley Cole all reached this milestone.
