    If you reckon Evra was better than Thierry Henry, then Pascal Cygan is world class mate <laugh>

    Djimi Traore won more Champions League medals than Cantona, so should be be on the list?

    I can say with utmost confidence that the Malian Djimi Traore is more deserving to be on a list of top African players to play in the Premier League then the Frenchman Eric Cantona.

    Not PL but still...

    Striker - Gordon Hodgson: South Africa-born forward Hodgson is one of the greatest goalscorers in Liverpool history - netting an incredible 240 times in 378 games to sit third in the all-time list. Spotted by club scouts when visiting England with a touring side in the early 1920s, he spent more than a decade at Anfield and represented both South Africa and England on the international stage.

    @Tel won't like this.

    Djibril Cisse won a Champions League medal with Liverpool, so he must be better than Eric Cantona

    Cisse>Cantona

    Yes he was Matth, but I think you've missed the point.

    Matth <doh>

    On the subject of Evra or Henry, its a difficult one to judge because they dont play the same position.
    On the matter of their worth to the team, I would say Henry edges it, but thats partly because he was part of inferior teams compared to Evra.
    i dont know......

    It really isn't. Henry is probably the best player ever in the PL, regardless of his position.

    I know strikers get more glory than defenders, but seriously, Evra better than Henry <laugh>

    You've actually taken that bait and made a full on pic-nic out of it, sat on your own in your little field eating maggots and wondering how the **** your life has come to this, when you were so devoted to being a vegan Scientologist non-binary crow-stroker.

    GTFO you *****tron.

    We have had several better players, such as Ronaldo, Scholes and Giggs. Cantona is more subjective but be honest mate your golden boy couldn't get anywhere near those three legends.
