Gervino was the man behind those records, his assists and goals return as an attacker is below average. Check Neymar's record at 18 then you will understand why Hazard is so overrated.

If Papilo is not there,then there is no list. Imagine where they have put C. Ronaldo?? Has any other present or former EPL player won the FIFA World Best award?? It's even remaining only one goal for Ronaldo to equal Raul's record of all-time Champions' League highest goal scorer. Just because Ronaldo is not an English player,that's why they relegated him to 6th position. Nonsense!!!

British newspaper Telegraph has unveiled a list of the top 100 players in the last 28 years, on the
proviso that the nominated players must have graced the English Premier League since its
inception.

On the 93rd position is retired Nigeria international Jay Jay Okocha, who played for Bolton
Wanderers from 2002 - 2006.

The editors said about the former PSG and Fenerbahce maestro : “The Nigerian international was
one of many eye-catching signings made by Sam Allardyce at Bolton in 2002 and he instantly
became a fans’ favourite.”

“Bolton went from perennial relegation battlers to European football during his four years there,
with Okocha giving the lie to the perception that Wanderers relied on brute force to succeed.

“As Bolton fans put it in one of their chants, he was “so good they named him twice.”

Austin Okocha scored 14 goals in 124 appearances for Bolton Wanderers, and the highlight of his
stay at the Macron Stadium was inspiring the side to the final of the 2004 League Cup.

Football experts Henry Winter, Alan Smith, Jason Burt, Mark Ogden and Jeremy Wilson were
among the panelists that drew up the list

Tells you all you need to know about the goats who drew up the so-called list.

You dey mind them? The English press always lionizing their own players since 230 BC; yet at major tournaments those players usually turn out to be cold turkeys with the English national team reguarly getting hammered by teams without players' media-visibility like the Brits. tongue

Rose, in as much as I think Kanu should be on the list, since Dennis Bergkamp was rated that high. And maybe Yakubu to an extent. However, despite Okocha's unique gifts and a far better gifted player than Nicky Butt will ever dream of - you have to look at the achievements of both players, what they won, laurels, calibre of teams they played for, and longevity. Jay Jay only played in the EPL for like 5 years at the twilight of his career.

Anyway, the great Zola, Chelsea legend, should be higher than that. Ditto Denis Wise, the most dedicated and passionate captain ever.

Can you compare the number of seasons Nicky Butt played with the ones Okocha played? Not to talk of the titles he won. It's not exactly a list of who is better you know.



Then why is Mikel not there if it's like that
Just count how many titles Mikel has won with Chelsea
