Those 2 players actually made the other 9 better players. Not today, but for the best part of 7 years or so. Great players possess the ability to drag the ordinary on to greatness. So when people see a world class performance from Bale or Ramsey, it's only right that they understand that their ability and work pulls an extra 10% out of the average players. They were and are much more than just match winners.
