Premiership Top 5

BrenOS · 20 Mar 2005 at 20:15

We've had 12 years of the Premiership now, which is around about a footballers career. Who in your opinion are the top 5 players throughout the history of the Premiership? Try to base this fairly, for eg. you may be Ronaldo's biggest fan but 2 years is not worth a mention imo.

Mine:

1. Roy Keane
2. Alan Shearer
3. Gianfranco Zola
4. Peter Schmeichel
5. Dennis Bergkamp

Haven't thought about this hugely, no doubt I will have forgotten someone.

Cantona was a near miss for me. Retired in 97, wheras Bergkamp is still around, and to be fair, still has a touch of class about him.

Near misses: Cantona, Giggs, Sheringham, Vieira, Speed, Seaman, Southall, Martyn, Adams, perhaps a few more will come to mind later.

Man Utd have dominated the Premiership, yet you include none of their players?

David Batty

I knew you'd have him in. A lot of better players leap to mind.

Gilly should be banned for blinkin David Batty!

Actually I can understand it touching a nerve. My dad is still gutted about the '79 final. Alan Sunderland.
