How did Kane and Son enter this list , And how come Alan shearer is not here

But statistically Aguero and Henry are most influential
Imagine the insult, putting the likes of Kane and Son and omitting someone like Gerrard.

Calabar1stSon:


Let's talk smiley


This shows you don't know much about Premier league.

No Wayne Rooney
What is Son and Kane doing there? You think premier league is all about strikers
Where is John Terry?
Roy Keane?
Paul Scholes?
Ryan Giggs?
Alan Shearer?

Rio Ferdinand
Vidic
Van Nisteroy
Peter Cech
Van da sar


Man nor fool yourself.

If you talk about influence without mentioning John Terry that even sacked coaches, you are wrong.

From my side.

Okocha - anytime Okocha plays for club and country there is always this funny feeling in me.

I love Okocha to the core.

He was my Pele and Maradona.

The joy and fun I had as a young boy watching him play was nothing compared to the N450 I got personally from him in the late 90s when he had his traditional wedding 2 in Festac town.

The same fun I had expected from Mikel but I guess it became a matter of egungun be careful.

Growing up, I answered David Beckham as I played street football. In fact I joined real Madrid because of him. Dude was handsome and marketable but then Cristiano emerged, more handsome and countless step overs but sentiments aside, I think Jay Jay Okocha is the most influential in the premier league. He lit up the league with his repertoire of skills and tricks. He was even adjourned to have thought Ronaldinho his skills. I remember going to holy Cross Hospital then to watch his highlights and commentaries about him.

Are you trying to annoy us football fans tonight??! Or you don't really know the meaning of the term "Influential"?!
Re: Who Is The Most Influential Player To Have Played In The Premiere League? by Remmythe: 8:27pm On May 15, 2020
