Auckland-born Chris Wood is New Zealand's greatest goalscorer and captain. Discovered by West Brom as a teenager, he became only the fifth New Zealander to play in the Premier League, then built a prolific career across Leicester, Leeds, Burnley, a record-breaking Newcastle move and Nottingham Forest. A powerful, clinical target man, he leads the All Whites at the 2026 World Cup as their talisman after a career-best Premier League season.
- New Zealand's all-time leader in both caps (90) and goals (45)
- His £25m move to Newcastle made him the most expensive Oceania player ever
- Got booked for revealing his underwear while celebrating his first international goal, against Honduras in 2010
