Which are the three best foreign players to have appeared in the Premier League in your opinion? My top three are: 1. Dennis Bergkamp 2. Gianfranco Zola 3. Eric Cantona For me, Bergkamp was head and shoulders above the rest. He performed at such a high level over a long period and is a player I never tired of watching...
Thierry Henry has to be in there. Difficult to remove any of your three Sooper but Henry should be #1 in my opinion. Coin throw between Zola and Cantona for me, with maybe Cantona nicking it. For sheer skill Zola is better, but Cantona is one of the main reason Man United started dominating the league and still does. 1. Thierry Henry 2. Dennis Bergkamp 3. Eric Cantona The Arsenal fans has had a great 15-18 years watching those players and many more, think Robert Pires was a triffic player as well.
I would say, 1. Eric Cantona 2. Thierry Henry (would have been 1st except he is a cheating barstooler). 3. Roy Keane
It depends if Irish players are considered foreigners? The question is vague. Are we considering most talented, best impact, or best value for money? Most talented Has to be Ronaldo Thierry Henry Cantona Best impact Roy Keane (hate him by the way) Thierry Henry Cantona Best value Denis Irwin Roy Keane ( still hate him) Cantona
The question is simple to get as wide a response as possible. I chose my three based on skill, Bergkamp is simply the most skillful player I've seen, Zola was the nearest in pure skill terms followed by Cantona. That's just my perspective on judging players but others will obviously look at other attributes. I'm not surprised that Henry has a lot of admirers and he would be in my top five...
Schmeichel hasn't even been mentioned - world class with an entire career in England (Brondby is it? Aside). Zola - quality and dignity. Henry - he could carry a game or at least do something special.
