I wonder if Ali Dia still dines out on the fact that he was a Premier League player? There’s no doubt that he was. Every player mentioned were, at one time in their career, Championship players. I think the thread’s title could have been tweaked a touch. Whitts was a Premier League player, 56 appearances in the division for Villa. He could’ve definitely been able to claim that he was a Premier League player as well.

I think this thread is for players such as

Billy Sharpe
Peter whittingham
Paddy Kenny
Dare I say.. lee trundle
Could we throw in Aaron Ramsey (young version)
Michael Chopra maybe

Apart from Ramsey and Trundle. i'd agree with you. There has to be some criteria, otherwise the top ten would be a combination of Paul Merson, Robbie Fowler, JFH, Wayne Rooney etc. The players mentioned would be candidates for a top 100 premier league players, or at least considered, and i don'r think that they would want that Trophy in their cabinet.

"That" game for me. Bellamy scored a free kick and had a hand in other goals and we demolished them 4-0. Was amazing

I would hope so, he's not just a player, he's a legendary name!
