Fernando Hierro tops the list of the defenders with the most World Cup goals since 1990.
The former Real Madrid and Spain captain represented his country at four different World Cups during his career.
He often played as a centre-back but he did appear more as a midfielder when he first broke into the Spain team.
Hierro scored a total of five World Cup goals which includes two in both the 1998 and 2002 tournaments, along with a goal in the United States in 1994.
Mexico stalwart Rafael Marquez is second on the list with three World Cup goals during his career.
The former Barcelona defender appeared at five consecutive tournaments and he holds the record for the most all-time appearances in World Cup football for Mexico.
German defender Andreas Brehme also scored three World Cup goals post 1990, while he also found the net at the 1986 tournament.
Lilian Thuram makes the list following his double for France against Croatia in the semi-finals in 1998 and remarkably they were his only two international goals.
John Stones is the only English defender on the list courtesy of his brace against Panama in 2018.
