Default Greatest ever premiership imports

King Eric crowned the Premier League's best import, while Crown Prince Cristiano squeezes into the top 10




Quote:
Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo may be considered by many to be the greatest player in the world at the moment, but the Portuguese superstar still has some way to go to surpass fellow Old Trafford legend Eric Cantona in the list of the best foreigners to have played in the Premier League.

For despite plundering an amazing 36 goals for Sir Alex Ferguson's side this season, the 23-year-old is only ranked as the eighth best overseas player to play in England, way behind Cantona.

The King: Cantona inspired United to their first title in over 25 years

The Frenchman, who helped end the Reds' long title drought when he inspired them to the league crown in 1993, tops the list in FourFourTwo magazine ahead of Arsenal duo Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry.

Celtic great Henrik Larsson, who spent a brief few months at Old Trafford last season is fourth, while Chelsea wizard Gianfranco Zola makes up the top five.

Despite their tradition of bringing through homegrown players, United have the most players in the poll with 14, while Chelsea have 12 and Arsenal 9.

French players figure most in the list with 12, while there are 10 Dutch players, eight from Italy, six from Australia and five from Norway.

Fulham's current keeper Kasey Keller is ranked 100th on the list, although it's not clear if the compilers had run out of names by this point. It's rumoured Marco Boogers was 101st.

Il try to get my hands on the full list but never the less, its an interesting article and i thought i'd put the question forward to everyone at uz.

Who is the EPL's greatest ever Foreign import?


we can perhaps add a poll when its narrowed down.
