In your opinion, who would you say is the best ever English player to play in the Premier League?
I say the Premier League just because its over a 22 yr span or something, i don't want to go back any further, due to my age and not really knowing the guys playing around that time.
Admin multi board please?
Anyone can comment, not just AFC fans, admin wont let me post on any other boards.
Best English player ever in PL?

Yeah but he went off the boil after the Scouse won it.

Thinks thats unfair that. He lost his pace & put a bit of beef on under Souey but when he moved into the centre he was still a class act, especially under Evans in the early seasons. He wasn't the same player but he still had it to an extent.
You're right though regarding the 87-90 period, he was sublime.

I guess that was the problem. He went from majestic to pretty good.

I forgot about Wright - what a player he was. My team is of players who played Premier League football but many of them were past their best by that time. As for Barnes, can you name a better English player on the left side of midfield/attack in the last 30 years? It's the position that has always eluded England - well nowadays, every position is that !

Showed how good his footballing ability was though that, even as he lost that explosive pace, he could move into the centre of midfield & still look the part.
Well when Souness left & he trimmed down!

Carlton! Can we not knock it!
No I can't Xiu. England v Argentina, Barnes on as a sub, destroyed their fullback, Lineker, goal!
2 minutes later done exactly the same and we missed. Gits.
