Greatest Premier League Player

The current English Premier League managers were surveyed on the greatest player in EPL histoery.

EDITOR's NOTE: For those you don't know, the Premier League is actually a relatively new league. The broke away from the English Football Association(FA) to form their own league in 1991. While the promotion and relagation of the FA and many of the rules are still governed by the FA the EPL is a separate entitiy.

So saying the greatest all time does not cover a long history.

Ryan Giggs, Manchester United midfielder, was named the greatest player with 47% of the votes. Eric Cartona, Manchester United, was 2nd with 27% and Alan Scherer, Newcastle United was third with 23%.

I still consider Giggs's goal against Arsenal in the 1999 FA Cup semifinals the greatest goal I have ever seen. For those not familar, he took the ball at midfield center line and dribbled through 7 Arsenal defenders and scored the winning goal with only a couple of minutes left.

So it is hard for me to argue with the coaches. Still I would like to find out how many true EPL fans we have here.

Let me know your choice and why.
