Sunderland midfielder Jobe Bellingham has revealed his pick for the greatest player in EFL (English Football League) history, naming Birmingham City legend Jude Bellingham—his own brother—as his EFL GOAT. Despite Jude’s rise to global stardom with Real Madrid and the England national team, Jobe highlighted his brother’s early days at Birmingham City as a defining moment in EFL history.
Jude Bellingham made his professional debut for Birmingham at just 16, quickly becoming a standout performer in the Championship. His maturity, technical skill, and leadership at such a young age left a lasting impression on fans and fellow players alike. “What he did at that age, carrying the midfield and performing like a seasoned pro, was incredible,” Jobe said in a recent interview.
Jobe, who began his own professional career at Birmingham City before moving to Sunderland, holds a deep respect for the league and credits his experience in the EFL for his development. Choosing Jude as the EFL GOAT not only highlights family pride but also recognizes the extraordinary talent that emerged from England’s second tier. “It’s more than family—he inspired a lot of young players, including me,” Jobe concluded.
