The Premier League has witnessed countless strikes from various players hitting the woodwork over the last 26 years. On that note, we now take a look at the top 5 players who have struck the woodwork the most in the league's rich and colourful history:
#5 Jermain Defoe
England and AFC Bournemouth striker Jermaine Defoe sits fifth on the list of Premier League players to have hit the woodwork the most number of times, with 23 attempts bouncing off the frame.
Having played for numerous Premier League clubs and scored many many goals, Defoe has earned a fierce reputation over the years for being a clinical finisher. With a host of goals to his name and controversial transfer moves throughout his career, Defoe's impact in the league has been immense.
The veteran English forward has made more than 450 Premier League appearances and counting, since his debut for West Ham United over 16 years ago.
Defoe moved back to Bournemouth at the start of the ongoing season, and has slowly found his feet after a tough start to life, under Eddie Howe.
The England international made his debut for England in 2004, and the 35-year-old striker is still vying for a place in Gareth Southgate's 2018 FIFA World Cup squad.
