The name George Best has already been mentioned and that's certainly a player to keep an eye on from a collecting perspective. It also helps that the highlights of his career were spent with Manchester United, the most collectable British club by some distance.
The other name to keep a look out for, within the context of players from the British Isles is Bobby Moore who played in the same era as George Best (and Pele). He captained the England side that won the 1966 World Cup.
As I've stated previously on this forum, my knowledge of cards is very limited. However, more generally, when Best or Moore items (match worn shirts etc) come up for auction, they attract a significant premium over those relating to other big name British players of the period.
