MC) Steven Gerrard – Liverpool
Easily the best player to never win the Premier League title, Gerrard has dragged Liverpool into contention for honours for over a decade now. At his peak, he could do so many things on the football field, it was almost to his detriment, although he began to shine especially when deployed as second striker behind Fernando Torres. He carried Liverpool to Champions League victory in 2005 and FA Cup success in 2006, and has been sensational this season in a deep-lying anchoring midfield role. Gerrard’s Liverpool side currently top the table, but the race is likely to go right down to the wire. Roy Keane, Frank Lampard and Patrick Vieira all have legitimate shouts to make this side – but despite winning less trophies, Gerrard’s a better player than all three.
