Who is the best premier League player ever for you?
Might just be nostalgia but think Thierry Henry will always be number 1 for me. Just an absolutely fabulous footballer who could do it all.
Plenty of options though. Rooney, Lampard, Scholes, Terry, KDB, Silva, Augero, Kane and probably a couple from across the park.

Henry, followed somewhat way behind by Shearer I think.

Re: Who is the best premier League player ever for you?
Henry is a fair shout. Shearer and Scholes too. Surprised Zola hasn't made the shortlist. I thought he was a genius at his best and that ridiculous goal from the corner v Norwich, but again might be an age thing as I've included no one recent!
In a world full of adversity, we must still dare to dream.

Bergkamp for me, could do stuff I've never seen a player do before or since.
I think Henry for his pace and goal scoring is a great shout, but I've never been more blown away by a player's ability with a footy than Bergkamp.

Bergkamp is probably technically the best. I went with Henry for being the best all round.AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 8:00 pm Bergkamp for me, could do stuff I've never seen a player do before or since.

Was Zola here that long?CannockPricey wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 7:42 pm Henry is a fair shout. Shearer and Scholes too. Surprised Zola hasn't made the shortlist.

About 7/8 years at Chelsea I think

Re: Who is the best premier League player ever for you?
Yeah I honestly get the Henry choice, incredible player... Completely unplayable on a consistent basis, I'd have him in my top few of all time and wouldn't ever argue against him as someone else's choice.
Re: Who is the best premier League player ever for you?
Also not the best, but still one I always have to mention in threads like this - Georgi Kinkladze.
Absolute magician.

KDB or Bergkamp for me.
Mainly because both would regularly do stuff that I wouldn't even consider to be a possibility. They wouldn't just entertain me, they'd surprise me.
(While on the other end of the spectrum were players like Hitzlsperger or Robben, obviously they weren't the best but I couldn't help admiring how everyone knew exactly what they were going to do and still couldn't stop them.)

Re: Who is the best premier League player ever for you?
Was telling Roxy the other day about how Henry was maybe the first player i saw as a kid, where i thought, wow....football can actually be magical.
it wasnt always back to the walls, smashing into tackles etc.

Thierry Henry
KDB and Shearer would make the top 5. Then 2 of Bergkamp/Kane/Ronaldo/Bergkamp/Lampard/Rooney/Drogba/Bale. Probably a couple of RS in there too, but I can't bring myself to type their names.
