The above said Yao never won Lillle player of d year once,Neymar is talent on his own but Europe his on a Higher level than South American league.

dabossman:


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.

kliq:


Hazard/Costa are rookies in the league...for Mikel? maybe when the list is extended to 1-500

morbid:
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

Cech is on the list, your Hazard is average and way overrated.

ROSSIKE:
69) Nicky Butt

93) Jay Jay Okocha


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

Blitz888:
Another jaundice and myopic evaluation... Me think that the players position on this list doesn't truly reflect their rating and as such this can be best described as flawed... No KANU, no Elhaj Diouf, no Van der saar, Mark Viduka, no Essen, Gud Johnson, Alex Song, London Donovan, Tim Cahill, Steven Pinaar....
