Alan Shearer, Bobby Charlton

Those were great players for their team but they didn't define the premier league as we know it now. The English league remained a backwater league despite their exploits. The guys that really put the league on the world map were the class of Theirry Henry, Van Nisterooy and David Beckham. Beckham literally brought the English media frenzy and overhype. There were "great" strikers and players in the clubs like you mentioned not forgetting the likes of Andy Cole, Ian Wright, Anelka, Gila, Zola, Bergkamp etc. But it was the competition of Theirry Henry, Van Nisterooy and their era that got everyone's eyes and mouth and ears and even temporarily relegated leagues like Serie A and La liga.

Ryan Giggs and David Beckham..
Ryan Giggs because His influence cut across various club across the globe and he is also a very likable person with little or no scandal during his playing days
David Beckham because he was part the very few top flight footballer [color=#000000]Mega Churches In Unites States[/color] that brought personal branding into the game allowing players to make an extra buck out of endorsement deals

Nice one

It is simply Ryan Giggs!
