Greatest Premier League Foreigner

[Blitzen]

Who is/was THE greatest all round Foreign Player in the Premier League started?

[Blitzen]

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.

[tiggerai]

bergkamp here too...

Was my hero.

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.

[YorkieBen]

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

Dimitar Berbatov.

[Clunk]

Salford Van Hire.

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.

[Mossy]

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

[Splash]

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

[Stewart]

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

[clearlyolly]

Cantona, hands down.

[Jay]

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.

[schmunk]

Peter Schmeichel

(or perhaps Lucas Radebe..? )

[Dorza]

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!
