Top 5 all time Premier League Players

[hopelesslyoptimistic]

As a bit of light relief from today - top 5 most effective all time prem league players. My suggestions.

1. T Henry
2. R Keane
3. A Shearer
4. S Aguero
5. Y Toure

[klix]

1. For Man Utd Cantona
2. For Liverpool Gerrard
3. For Arsenal Henry
4. For Man City Aguero
5. For Chelsea Drogba

[LeedsFTW]

1. Peter Schmeichel
2. Keane
3. Shearer
4. Gary Speed
5. Giggs

First 5 names on teamsheet for me, based on longevity in the league and what they contributed to the clubs they represented.

1- Thierry Henry - guy took the mick out of teams at times, prick even came back to score against us
2- Roy Keane- utter prick but what a leader.
3- Vincent Kompany- a colossus at the back in a time where you couldn't hold players, stamp on feet like the old days
4- Jamie Vardy- say what you want, he is basically the reason Leicester are even relevant these days! Impact is what I'm thinking not necessarily overall talent
5- Steven Gerrard - leader, toss up with Roy Keane as he actually won PL......Fat Frank can piss off.


To be honest I could do this again in 5 minutes and think of 5 others! Be a good thread for different positions like goalies

1- Schmeichel
2- Cech
3- Martyn (yep he was that good for me, hero)
4- Seaman
5- Van Der Sar or Hugh Lloris

Again, off top of my head and I'm definitely forgetting a few.

There have certainly been some quality keepers - you could add Neville Southall, Tim Flowers and Begovic to that list too I guess.

Full Backs - again off the top of my head

1. Ashley Cole
2. Dennis Irwin
3. Gary Kelly
4. Ivanovic
5. Pearce
