Patrick Vieira was much more of a ball player than he was ever given credit for.
Because of his stature (and perhaps his colour) people pigeon holed him as a destroyer but that really wasn't what he was about.
John Barnes could play in that position once his pace went.
Ruud gullit played in midfield sometimes and was pretty effective.
Frank rijkard (so) as well although more defensive.
Yaya toure
There must have been a fair few Brazilians over the years
