Looking for a Porsche owned by a World Cup-scoring England hero? Auto Trader’s got the one for you.

Former Three Lions captain David Platt was the first owner of this 2003 Porsche Cayenne S.

Powered by a 4.5-litre V8, the luxury SUV produces 340bhp and 310lb/ft of pulling power.

This enables the 3-ton monster to accelerate from 0-60mph in 7.4 seconds before reaching a top speed of 150mph.

Inside, the tiptronic Cayenne has sat-nav, a phone, specially contoured seats, climate control and a top-quality Bose sound system.

The fully-loaded model – which has covered 67,000 miles – also boasts 19-inch alloys, privacy glass and electric heated seats.

But expect to hand a few quid to Gordon Brown – the Cayenne manages a combined 19mpg and is in the top tax band – next year that’ll cost you £400

Platt was one of England’s stars in the 1990 Italian World Cup, scoring three times, including a superb goal in the last minute of extra time against Belgium – sending England into the quarter finals.

He also scored in the doomed penalty shoot-out against West Germany, where team-mates Stuart Pearce and Chris Waddle missed.

Platt went on to play 62 times for England – captaining his country 19 times – and scored 27 goals, making him England’s tenth best goalscorer.

Now you can get your hands on his old Porsche Cayenne – which has a full service history – for £24,995. 

It’s not the first famous-owned Porsche Cayenne we’ve had on the site. Auto Trader has also featured Cayennes belonging to Jamie Redknapp, pop star Jay Kay and Take That’s Gary Barlow.

And cars owned by other England captains David Beckham, Alan Shearer, Michael Owen, Tony Adams have also been for sale.
