20 Years Of The Premier League

[Gubby Allen]

**** knows how Cantona tops the list of nominations. Man Utd have such warped views of their players compared to football fans in general - that's positive and negative. He was terrific & a cult hero but no world beater. I know the votes are purely Premier League but as a general point, how many European games - away ones especially did he ever have a half decent match in?

Best striker is laughable - in what way is Cantona a better striker than Van Nistelrooy who probably trebled his goal ratio? I'd have said Andy Cole was a better PL striker for them too and Solksjaer and Rooney.

Good Player - Absolutely
Good Striker - Not particualrly
Top 10 PL players - I wouldn't have thought so.

and are defenders inelligble for any of these awards?

Best defender award maybe?

Also agree on Cantona.
