    Depends on the position and also on their time in the Premiership. I would go for something like (I know I have 12 but who can you drop from that midfield?!):
    Schmeicle, G Neville, A Cole, Adams, Campbell, Giggs, Scholes, Vieira, Le Tissier, Cantona, Shearer, Henry.

    Just shows lack of good full-backs in Premiership over the years.

    Paulo Di Canio, mostly for pushing over the referee

    No, but seriously, the always forgotten man, the greatest player the Premiership ever saw.........Claude Makelele.

    Only the blind or stupid could ever say that, Keane was a great talent, but he was also the biggest thug of the PL era, the guy should have been banned from ALL football for life the day his autobiography was published and he admitted that he deliberately targeted opponents for injury.

    No he didn't, drogba. A man who actually won trophies as well as banging in the goals and assisting others.

    Best player though has to be Ronaldo. United won three titles on the trot with him. Without him they would have struggled to win any.

    For me can't decide between Eric Cantona and Thiery Henry.
