    Bergkamp, for me, had the grace of truely gifted player. Consistency was also the key. At the top of the game for 11 years is something no-one else in the list could do!
    He was a big reason why Henry was so successful aswell.

    Zola in second place......just!!! What a player.

    I vote Cantona because I'm a red but I can't for the life of me think why you've put Van Nistlerooy in there and not Peter Schmichael.

    Cantona... despite not being much cop in Europe he was amazing in the premiership. His entire 'package' - the skills, the arrogance etc.

    Eric was amazing. Love him or hate him you cannot deny his affect on English football.

    And Leeds sold him for £1.1m

    hahahaha

    Cracking thread, I'm not a massive footbal fan, so for me it was Cantona as he always made a stunning impression on a game, but to be honest, I could watch the others play all day too.
    It is Inevitable.....

    I think for time playing in the Premiership and quality Denis was hard between Cantana though I liked watching him.

    Zola for me. The little man was top notch, always a smile on his face.

    It is Zola, no arguments. Little genius he was.

    has to be Henry, even though i'm a liverpool fan he was amazing.

    suprised not to see Schmeichel or Juninio in that list though.

    Can't decide. All those players were a class act in the prem, and there are many more that could be on the list, which would make it even harder to decide .

    As an Arsenal fan it's hard for me to admit this.
    But as much as i like Bergkamp it'll have to be Paolo Di Canio.
    On pure skill and referee bashing!
