Zola was easily one of the top ten players in the PL era, in my book.

In no particular order

Bergkamp (he's in order)
Keane
Henry
Pires
Viera
Van Nistelrooy
Van Persie
Shearer
Giggs

Always thought Zola good but overrated.

Id I took out the UK players then I'd put in Overmars and either Cahill, or even Suarez before Zola. Yorke too. If not only overseas players then I'd even have Gerrard ahread of him.
Petit

Henry number one... by miles.

Something like that. Alternative presenters need to be considered. Nice bloke, but awful commentator.

Ooh I need to check my internet connection now. Superfast broadband is what I am paying for.

Even better kicked off the site without logging out.

Vieira
Cantona
Giggs
Scholes
Shearer
Zola
Henry
Lampard
Bergkamp

and the final place for whichever player it is I've totally forgotten about but will remember randomly in a couple of hours time.

Get in cambiasso and gueye, Matt Phillips on the right, and two centre forwards and this line up starts to look reasonable

I'm not yet convinced that Gil has the physical attributes to play that ten role in the league, but he does look good

Though he seems to be injured here
