7. Frank Lampard
Chelsea’s all-time leading goal scorer and quite probably the clubs greatest ever player, Frank Lampard is quite rightly regarded as one of the finest midfielders of his generation. Lampard joined Chelsea after 6 years at West Ham, and went on to become a legend at Stamford Bridge, spending 13 years at the club. In that time, Lampard won 17 trophies, including 3 Premier League titles, and was named in the PFA Team of the Year five times as well as the FIFPro World Team of the Year twice. Perhaps Lampard’s most amazing trait was his goal scoring, he scored 262 in total, and is currently the fourth highest scorer in Premier League history, the only midfielder in the top 15.
6. Roy Keane
Love him or loathe him, Roy Keane is a legend of the Premier League era. A born leader, Keane left nothing in the dressing room, and demanded that none of his teammates did either. For that reason, he was pivotal for Manchester United, not to mention the fact that he was a terrific player. He joined Manchester United from Nottingham Forest, and spent 12 full seasons at Old Trafford, winning seven Premier League titles and 10 other trophies. He was named in the PFA Team of the Year five times and was also named in the Overseas Premier League Team of the Decade.
