From Adel Tarrabt to Michu, there have been some unbelievable streets will never forget ballers over the years. Who takes the crown?
Payet at West Ham was different gravy
In recent years it’s got to be Origi
Michu
Taraabt and Ben Arfa
Frank Worthington
Dunno if he s “street will never forget” or just “normally never forget” player, but Aaron Ramsey for me
His whole horror injury, the goal/celebrity death ratio all makes him a fun one to remember
Ramsey is almost too good for this list. His clutch FA Cup final goals alone guarrantee more than the streets will remember him.
Don’t know about best, but Mousa Dembele would be the submission from Spurs in the last several years. Everyone from that stacked Belgium squad from 2016-2018 or so seemed to all feel that Dembele was the best player they’d played alongside.
The way he powered through the midfield, so strong and slick just wow
Came here to say this. Literally everyone who has played on the same team as him speak about him with reverence. One of the most under appreciated ballers and the definition of “press resistant” before that term became hip
He’d walk past opponents as if they weren’t rushing him at full speed.
Always. He was ice cold
Absolutely loved watching him play. Hated when it was against us.
If only he could pass or shoot the ball as well as he did everything else.
Yeah in a way he was a nice emblem of those late 2010s Spurs teams - awesome to watch 90% of the time but always a bit lacking in the finish.
If he had an eye for an incisive final ball he’d probably have been playing for Madrid.
He gets tons of praise from his teammates because I’m sure he bossed them in short sided games and other training drills. But yeah, the end product was often lacking in actual matches.
Which is why the team was basically built around him. He’d win the ball back, beat the press, then hand it off to Eriksen who would orchestrate the attack.
For me its Hleb or Ben Arfa. Also i think you spelled Adel’s last name incorrect but im not sure enough on how to spell it. Google says its Taarabt.
Hleb, what a player
Dmitri Payet being the most exciting player every single week for like 18 months.
Michu’s half season was the most amazing hot stretch.
Otherwise, I just want to name some random ass people who were amazing for a second. Adnan Januzaj carrying Man United. Ravel Morrison being a legend for 15 minutes. Papiss Cisse’s brace vs Chelsea was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen
I really thought Januzaj was going to the top of the game
He broke out right when every good player turned out to be Belgian
lol, januzaj was a force for a minute. Then, poof! He was gone.
Payet was so ridiculously talented and temperamental. He’s a good one.
Biased, but Payet is my answer for sure. His free kick against Crystal Palace still hurts my brain every time I watch it. What a player he was!
Michu
That season for Swansea is unforgettable, especially when you take into account his career nosediving afterwards.
Hazard
? Hazard is a Premier League legend
Wilshere. I truly believe if it wasn’t for his injuries he would be a top-midfielder. Maybe not the same calibre as Stevie, Frank or Scholesy. But damn, when he was fit and on point he was really, really good. And that’s coming from a United fan.
That goal he scored after 58 million passes or whatever was incredible
Jay-Jay Okocha
I met his mam watching Bolton vs Chelsea
Nani. If you watch a highlight reel of Nani’s tricks and best goals you’d think he was the greatest to grace the game, he was special on his day but was never really consistent for long enough at the top.
I thought he was one of the main reasons why United won the league in 2010/11
John Arne Riise and Seb Larsson for the free kicks.
Rory Delap for his ability in handling balls.
Delap also scored a worldie of a scissor kick one time
