Top 100 Footballers in PL history

[Tilbury]

And of course the most important criteria for you being he didn't play for Chelsea.

I loathe both Chelsea and Liverpool. But Gerrard merits a higher position in this list. Simple as.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Zola was my number one but I'm inclined to agree. He's actually a little higher than I expected him to be. Marvellous player though, love that Norwich goal.

So, top 10... Gerrard, Lampard, Giggs, Shearer, Scholes, Henry, Ronaldo, Bergkamp, Vieira, Schmeichel?

 

[Tilbury]

Oh I'm not disputing Gerrard's position, just the using of team achievements for an individual list of the best footballers.

 

[T.A]

Zola was my number one but I'm inclined to agree. He's actually a little higher than I expected him to be. Marvellous player though, love that Norwich goal.

So, top 10... Gerrard, Lampard, Giggs, Shearer, Scholes, Henry, Ronaldo, Bergkamp, Vieira, Schmeichel?

BUT WHAT ORDER??!?

 

[Rammy]

Pretty sure Zola made my list. Probably towards the bottom, since I filled it with Derby players.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

Zola was a little fucking genius.

An ugly genius, much like Hawking. But nevertheless, a genius.

I vote that we should do a top 100 of the ugliest players in PL history

 

[Posh Hammer]

Has Andy Cole made an appearance yet?

 

[Posh Hammer]

In fact, Cards can we get the list so far, before you start the top 10

All that effort and I knew you'd find a way to criticise me

 

[Tilbury]

Any reason Schmeichel was so prolific for Hvidovre?

 

[This Charming Mike]

Thought I read his middle name as Coleslaw then...

 

[Cardsfan]

 

[Posh Hammer]

Steven Fucking Gerrard.

Joint 8th?!!

I presume joint with Dani Cademateri?

 

[Oaf]

Didn't know we had that many Liverpool fans on here...

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

Kinda hope he's joint 8th with Lampard so they can make a (not very) beautiful pairing once more

 

[Humongous Fungus]

Haven't looked through the thread but if Matt Le Tissier isn't number 1, this list ain't worth shit!

 

[mistermagic]

Haven't looked through the thread but if Matt Le Tissier isn't number 1, this list ain't worth shit!

He came 21st.

 

[Smally]

Here's where Gerrard is joint with Lampard and Scholes

 

[Humongous Fungus]

He came 21st.

I'm going to leave and never return!



Can someone kindly pm me the top 5 please?

 

[Cardsfan]

 

[Rammy]

What a player. Think he made my list, not sure.

 

[last request]

Possibly my favourite non-Villa player ever.

 

[GodsGift]

Overrated.

 

[Veggie Legs]

Scorer of one of my all time favourite goals.
