Whom?

Not most the successful but who is the best player to grace the Prem?

I'd say the winker.

Paul McGrath >>> Tony Adams.

That is all.

Further to that, I think Schmeichel was a better keeper than his peers to a greater extent than most outfield players were to theirs, possibly Cantona excepted.

So Schmeichel, then Cantona would be my vote.

Too hard to compare because they all play in different positions. How can you compare a keeper and a striker for example?

You could have the whole Cole family of Joe, Ashley, Andy and Carlton and still not match what Giggs has done.

Yep. And why Gerrard and Lampard but not Paul "Best-midfielder-of-his-generation" Scholes?

Me thinks nominations should have been invited and the 12 most common occurences put up for the final vote.
