Poll: Vote for the most iconic player in the EPL
Who do you think is the most iconic player in the EPL? We have a list of contestants who we think are icons for their respective clubs.
Jack Wilshere – Arsenal
He may only be 20 years, but he has already captured the hearts of Arsenal and English fans. Touted as the future of England, he is already a very important player for Arsenal. Gunners want him back in the team as quickly as possible, with a combination of Wilshere, Cazorla and Arteta potentially mouth-watering.
John Terry – Chelsea
When there is no John Terry in defence, then there is no defence in Chelsea. There have been numerous occasions when Chelsea faltered when they lost their talismanic captain to injury or suspension. He has been at the heart of all the battles that Chelsea fought on the field, culminating in Champions League victory last year.
Steven Gerrard – Liverpool
If there is any player in the premier league that is the face of the club, it is Steven Gerrard. Time and again, Gerrard has taken the team on his shoulders and has put in such blinding performances that one can only wonder how much more successful he would have been if he had selfishly looked after himself. He is a player who is Liverpool through and through and will put heart and soul in every performance.
Wayne Rooney – Manchester United
Rooney is one of a series of iconic players that Manchester United always manages to have in its team. Even with legends such as Scholes and Giggs playing around him, it is to Rooney that team mates look up to when a morale boosting performance is needed. He can and will play anywhere for the team and will give it his all no matter who he is playing against.
Yaya Toure – Manchester City
If the City midfield is working seamlessly, then they have Yaya Toure to thank for. He is the perfect team player who makes sure that the defence is not left exposed and at the same time has the vision to create chances for team mates. There have been quite a few occasions when Toure has taken the game by the scruff of the neck to turn it to City’s advantage.
