We are talking about the Premier League era right? Like from 1992-present.

I think Top 5 is perfectly fair, except for Keane, I think David Beckham should be in his place.

Pretty much agree. But I feel like sometimes they glorify past players. I mean Sanchez last on the top 100 list and Hazard (from what i can see) not even on it?

Not surprised they put Lampard and Gerrard next to each other either..

David James is at 86, Ozil is at 85. Oooook. Ivanovic two spots ahead of Cech. Zabeleta ahead of Evra. David Silva ahead of Sol Campbell. Not to mention a total lack of Jermaine Defoe.

I don't know guys.

I do not mean to hate but is there anything earth shattering Özil and Sanchez have done to even be considered in the Top100? Same goes for Kane, the guy is only 22? Seems a bit over the top.

The Petr Cech one was quite surprising to see. I'd expect him to at least be in top 30.

Am I the only one who has a problem with Van Nistelrooy at 39 and Bale at 32?

Ridiculous list. Makes me hate a "newspaper" like The Telegraph even more and at the same time question my knowledge on football if so called experts made this laughable list.

From the list, its clear that career longevity is an important criteria.

Dont be too harsh guys.

It looks ridiculous to some point, but mind that: they are playing in different eras, teams, trends and years count.... so.... comparing them is hard, yet to make such a list

Ryan Giggs number one ? HWY ?

Thiery Henry is the greatest EPL era player . If you wonder why ? Just go back and watch his EPL career . When someone thought about EPL they would say ooh that is where Thiery Henry plays . Who cares about Giggs other than his brothers wife and United fans ?
