Name your top 3 Premiership players of ALL time,and reasons why????

I said

Cantona, Just brought a whole new look on football to england,you wouldnt have you Ronaldo`s,Rooneys,or Henrys etc etc if it wasnt for him...

Schmicheal.. Do you REALLY need to say ANYTHING about this guy!!

But im STILL torn on my 3rd...

I got it down to Shearer,Fowler,Addams,G Nevile,Rush,Beckham,Henry,Sheringham??

But there are SOOOOOOOOOOO many more,but what makes them "the best"?? We can all roll names off,who are good,what what makes them BETTER than everyone else??


What do you guys say???

cant really think of 3 apart from the obvious, but i reckon ole gunner solskaer or however you spell it......is one of the best, supersub. never really understood why hes always been on the bench or in the shadows though, if he'd been in any other team he'd have been a star.

too many to list best 3 as you also had the likes of BERGKAMP,ZOLA just to add!

Diseasel

1, Shearer
2, Cantona
3, Zola

skeg

Too hard to do. Like times of old with Best, Law, Charlton etc you can look at more recent United teams and list no end of players.

Keane, Ince, Giggs, Kanchelskis, Scholes, Hughes, Van nistelrooy, Cantona, Schemeichel, Palister, Irwin. Keane was amazing, one of only a few players that 99% of players would back off from or give them time on the ball. Van Nistelrooy scored 150 quicker than Henry and proved he can score in any league unlike Shevchenko and Henry. He had the quality to volley, long/ power shots, headers, runs from the half way line but also had the Linekers/Owen poachers instinct. Another Shearer basically.

Surely the best midfield since 92-93 is:

Giggs Scholes Keane Kanchelskis/Beckham

Also worth a mention are, Shearer, Bergkamp, Zola, Henry, Fowler (for his liverpool times), Dwight yorke@villa, Vierra, Tony Yeboh for his goals alone in such a short time, Gerrard, Mcmanaman, David ginola, Les ferdinand, Matt Le tissier,

Redkop

Top three for me in PL since 92/93 would be

Thierry Henry
Alan Shearer
Robbie Fowler

ABSOLUTELY PMSL@possible choice G Neville!

AS IF!


Anyways,
Instinct says Shearer. Good option of Henry from Lynne too

bigpower

Thierry Henry -- Such a talent, always gives 100% in games and theres always one bit of magic at some point!

Eric Cantona -- Again, such a talent and showman. I agree with pete, he changed English football.

Alan Shearer -- Just a genuine role model and always delivered

RichardPON

My exact top three in that order as well.

BUFFTY MIC

ryan giggs

eric cantona

alan shearer

RobL

gianfranco zola

alan shearer

thiery henry

warleydaddy

Sorry i'm still PMSL!

neville is nowhere near the class of other players listed above

BUFFTY MIC

depends on how you class "best" is that the best player,the most sucessfull,or the most consistant or a combination of all of the above?

Coldo

Cantona
Zola
Bergkamp

timrud

Cantona didn't do it for long enough for me. Yes he was good, but great?

Got to include Shearer. Schmiechael. The other? Patrick Viera.

DanRSturbo

Gary Linekar - Only player to never get booked as far as I know.

Eric Cantona

Alan Shearer

timrud

Interesting story about Cantona...

Sheff Wed first brought him over, and we played him in this indoor tournement, where he was just class. I remember singing songs about him living in a caravan as he looked a tramp

Trevor Francis didn't sign him straight after as he wanted to see him play on grass, and askedhim to come back a week later. He went and signed for Leeds

Leeds won the title that year, Sheff Wed finished third

Redkop

None.... he quit Spurs in 1991 and finished his career with Grampus 8

Mr Brannen

Yeah me too, but Id swap shearer with Henry,if Henry is still delivering in 2 yrs time then yheah I think he would have equalled Shearer but not yet

Big G

PMSL @ the completly unbiased dirty reds.

Dennis Bergkamp - Sheer quality, nuff said

Keane - 150% commitment everytime he wore a shirt and thats from a City fan

3rd spot is a hard choice from the likes of Shearer, Fowler, Zola, Gerrard, Henry (the usual suspects ) but the person who stands out because of passion and commitment is Tony Adams.

IMO he was what John Terry is.

say no more really

TIFF

Scholes..............SO SO SO underrated it is unbeleivable.....Once he has retired people we see how much of a good player he was. He isnt in the limelight all the time.....if anytime.....so doesnt usually stand out. But he is one awesome player

Cantona---- Needs no reason, just look at what he did once he came back from his ban....... Nuff said

Henry-------- Sheer class and a true footballer in the right sence

Big G

Also a generally decent bloke,
Does the school run with the kids, shops at the local Co-op,
Rarely bothers with the 'works do's ' as he and his missus cant be arsed with all the hassle.
Keep on telling him to sign for Oldham so he doesnt keep scoring against us mighty Blues

It's Czech Mate

Three isnt enough!!!

1) Shearer
2) Cantona

3=) Giggs, Scholes, Zola, Bergkamp, Admas, Schmeichael, Stuart Pearce, Ian Wright, Gary Speed, Teddy.......and theres a few more, Lee Dixon/Nigel Winterburn, Dennis Irwin/Gary Pallister

etc etc

diesel2000

Henry
Cantona
Roy Keane

Diamonds.

still undecided on my top 3 but would probably have Klinsmann in there as he was one of the 1st big names to come to the premiership
