10. Dennis Bergkamp
9. Thierry Henry
8. Ryan Giggs
7. Peter Schmiechel
6. Matt Le Tissier
5. Ian Wright
4. Roy Keane
3. Gianfranco Zola
2. Eric Cantona
1. Alan Shearer
That list was supposedly voted for by the fans.
How the hell is Vieira not in there? He has been by far the best midfielder in the Premiership for 5 years now and before that he was second only to Keane.
How did Bergkamp and Henry come in at 9 and 10 only? Both should have been at least in the middle. Did any of the others win the 2nd best footballer in the world? I don't think so.
Zola and Cantona are the two foreigners in the list comparable in style to Bergkamp. Neither can claim to be better than him. How they came in the top two I'll never know. In the programme, they focused a bit on Dennis' agressive streak, but when it came to Cantona, they didn't even mention his antics.
My revised list:
10. Matt Le Tissier
9. Ian Wright
8. Peter Schmiechel
7. Patrick Vieira
6. Thierry Henry
5. Eric Cantona
4. Gianfranco Zola
3. Roy Keane
2. Dennis Bergkamp
