Saw the athletic did their top 60 EPL players of all time

The top 10 was

1.) Thierry
2.) Shearer
3.) Cantona
4.) Giggs
5.) CR7
6.) Lampard
7.) Roy Keane
8.) Gerrard
9.) Rooney
10.) Aguero

0 CB’s in the top 10? I would put Terry or Rio instead of Gerrard.

You can have Lampard in there, Vieira was better. I feel like this list has Anglo-bias.

You and I know Henderson is better than both :skip:

It's a 50/50 list. 5 Brits and 5 Foreigners. :manny:

And it's majority of British Journalists I assume that picked this. So of course it's going to have an Anglo bias to it. And going off most lists done these days stats played a huge part in it. Why you got Giggs most titles, assists etc, Shearer most goals, mentioned Lampard and Gooney goals and assists. Aguero most goals by a foreign player. Cannot escape the lytics era.

Out of the 10. Henry, Shearer Cantona and C dot are undeniable. Henry best PL player, Shearer 100 goals for 2 clubs. Cantona the most iconic/First true star of the PL. C dot the best player ever to play in the PL. The rest is whatever.

Everyone's list is going to be different dependant on what their criteria is :manny:
