The Everton captain and veteran have been a part of the Premier League for more than a decade. 263 matches for Manchester United as a controlling full back followed up by more than 200 matches for Everton says it all. Even though, he doesn’t have any personal honours Neville has been a profile in the Premier League and his influence cannot be underestimated. Both in Everton and Manchester United, the full back has been a profile and feared by many strikers.
Almost twenty years of professional football in a number of Premier League clubs, as well as 73 England caps, is the history of Campbell. The Sol was a profile in Spurs and became an even bigger profile for the rivals from Arsenal. The big giant has a few personal honours as well: FIFA World Cup Team of the Tournament in 2002, UEFA European Championship Team of the Tournament in 2004 and PFA Team of the Year in 1999, 2003 and 2004.
504 caps for Arsenal and 66 for England speaks for itself. Tony Adams was a first class defender. His twenty two years of performances in the best English league have left him with a great reputation, and even a statue in front of Emirates Stadium. Adams won the PFA Young Player of the Year in 1987 and have been on the PFA Team of the Year three times. Furthermore, he is part of the Overall Team of the Decade – Premier League 10 seasons Awards.
Rio Ferdinand has been a profile in all the clubs he has played in. In West Ham, he became a fan favorite and won the Hammer of the Year award in 1998. He has twice made a record-braking transfer, first to Leeds for £18m and sooner to Manchester United for around £30m. A look at the personal honours gives a convincing view on the player. 5 times on the PFA Premier League Team of the Year, once Premier League Player od the Month, once ESM Team of the Year, once FIFA World XI and even a place in the London Youth Games Hall of Fame!
As bad a reputation, Terry has as great a defender he is. Captain in Chelsea before Cristiano Ronaldo became a cry baby, and a number of merits speaks for itself. Terry was named UEFA Club Defender of the year in 2005, 2008 and 2009. PFA Players’ Player of the Year in 2005 and from 2005 to 2008 a part of the FIFPro World XI. Furthermore, he was the only English player in the 2006 FIFA World Cup all-star squad.
