00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Hello viewers of 442.
00:06 Adam Monk here, joined with Adam Cleary.
00:09 - Hello.
00:10 - My co-presenter.
00:10 - Hello.
00:11 - Ryan Dabbs.
00:12 - Hello.
00:13 - And Mark White.
00:14 - Hello.
00:15 - And today we've got a little,
00:16 a special format really, something a bit new,
00:18 almost like a game show.
00:20 This, imagine an FA Cup draw.
00:22 This is the ball, the hat, whatever you want to call it.
00:24 And we've got 16 names in here,
00:25 which are the best strikers in Premier League history,
00:28 according to us.
00:29 Anyway, in a knockout format,
00:31 we're going to draw them out
00:32 and progress in a sort of tournament tree style thing
00:35 to crown the best striker in the history
00:38 of the Premier League.
00:39 Right, who wants to draw first?
00:41 You going in?
00:42 - Rob Stewart.
00:43 (laughing)
00:44 - Do two?
00:45 - Yeah, two each.
00:46 - Okay, right.
00:47 Our first round is,
00:48 Eric Cantona.
00:51 - Before my time.
00:53 - Will play,
00:54 Erling Haaland.
00:58 Ooh.
00:59 - Probably the first striker and the most recent one.
01:01 - Okay.
01:02 - In the list.
01:02 - Right.
01:03 - Are we doing longevity here?
01:04 Like what are we doing?
01:05 'Cause Haaland's been in the Premier League
01:06 for a season and a bit.
01:07 - Well, we discussed this
01:08 when we were including Haaland, didn't we?
01:10 We were like, he's not been around long,
01:12 but I think if Erling Haaland retires tomorrow,
01:14 he already goes down
01:15 as one of the best Premier League strikers ever.
01:17 - But does he go down as the best striker?
01:20 - That's what we've got to find out, Mark.
01:22 That's what we've got to find out.
01:23 - The legacy of Cantona.
01:24 So Cantona actually scored the first hat trick
01:27 in Premier League history.
01:28 - That's quite good.
01:30 But Haaland scored 20 of them or something, as he says.
01:33 - Yeah.
01:34 - But he's got no iconic celebration like Cantona.
01:38 Yeah, but it's not the...
01:39 - The...
01:40 - The...
01:40 - He had the entire...
01:42 Yeah, that is true.
01:43 That is true.
01:43 Cantona had a bit more drip providing parts,
01:45 but we can't rank it on that.
01:47 - Can we not rank?
01:47 Can we officially not rank on drip?
01:49 - If we're doing a drip ranking then...
01:50 - I think there's an element of...
01:51 - Maybe like...
01:52 - That, like, iconic player.
01:54 Haaland's just...
01:56 - I think we're going to lose every single viewer
01:57 over 45 here when I say this,
01:59 but I don't think Haaland is a dripless footballer
02:01 by any stretch of the imagination.
02:02 - He makes his look work.
02:03 He's very marvellous.
02:04 - You know what I mean?
02:05 I think he's got...
02:06 - Viking aesthetic.
02:07 What about when he let his hair down to score against...
02:08 - That was pretty good.
02:10 - You know.
02:11 - It's iconic.
02:12 I think they're both iconic for different generations.
02:14 - Yeah.
02:15 I think, right.
02:16 I think we've got to vote.
02:17 I think we've got to vote.
02:18 I think we've got to vote.
02:18 - So...
02:19 - We've decided as well, by the way,
02:20 that if we come to a tie at any point,
02:22 the person who drew gets the deciding vote.
02:24 So I'll go last.
02:25 - Right.
02:26 - Shall we go with Eric Cantona?
02:27 - Cantona?
02:28 - Yeah, I will.
02:29 - Mark?
02:29 - I don't think you can look past
02:31 how iconic Cantona was for the Premier League.
02:35 So it's got to be Cantona.
02:36 - Cantona.
02:37 - Yeah, Cantona.
02:38 - Cantona.
02:39 I'm going to go with Full House.
02:40 I'm sorry.
02:40 Sorry, Erling.
02:41 Sorry, Erling.
02:42 Maybe next year.
02:43 - Oh yeah.
02:44 - Almost certainly next year.
02:45 - I'm going to go with two, three years.
02:45 - Cantona.
02:46 Next round.
02:47 - Let's go with that one.
02:48 - I'm so pleased I got the arm thing.
02:49 - I wanted to do that so bad.
02:50 - Jamie Vardy.
02:51 - Jamie Vardy.
02:51 Ooh.
02:52 - Versus?
02:54 - Disney+'s Jamie Vardy.
02:56 - Still going, right?
02:57 - Versus Fernando Torres.
02:59 - Oh.
03:00 - Can I just come straight in here
03:01 and say it's Torres by a mile?
03:03 - What?
03:04 - No.
03:05 - How many consecutive games did Torres score in?
03:07 - I don't know.
03:08 Lots, probably.
03:09 - How many Premier League titles has Torres got?
03:10 - Yeah, no, we're not doing accolades.
03:12 We're not doing accolades.
03:13 - He couldn't handle the 50 million pound move to Chelsea.
03:16 - He couldn't.
03:17 - I just, I just.
03:18 - Vardy was offered a big move to a big club
03:19 and he turned it down.
03:20 - When?
03:21 - To Arsenal, yeah.
03:22 - Arsenal, yeah.
03:23 - A big club.
03:24 - The thing is, I would say the main thing
03:26 about being a striker is the ability to finish in the box.
03:29 And I don't think I've seen a more deadly finisher
03:31 in the box than Vardy perhaps in the last decade.
03:33 - I just, I just.
03:34 - In terms of variety of finishing,
03:36 burning in behind defences.
03:38 He was a road runner, but the very best at it.
03:40 - I'm not saying that, like,
03:42 Jamie Vardy's not a good striker.
03:43 I should say Fernando Torres,
03:45 but when he was really good,
03:47 was like almost peerless.
03:49 - But this is the thing, when he was really good.
03:50 - Yeah.
03:51 - Did Vardy have big-
03:52 - Did Vardy have a big-
03:53 - Right, well if you-
03:54 - Not a consistent level.
03:55 - If you want to go down that route,
03:56 then like, whatever, Fleetwood Town's Jamie Vardy.
03:59 Can't like hold a candle to Fernando Torres.
04:00 - But this is the thing.
04:01 - This is the thing.
04:02 - I think Torres' peak was higher than Vardy's peak.
04:05 - Yes.
04:06 - Agreed.
04:07 - But I think Vardy had more-
04:08 - I can't argue with that.
04:08 - Consistent, like, high level.
04:09 - I can't argue with that.
04:10 - A bit more like-
04:11 - Another way to look at it is Vardy,
04:12 I think he started scoring in the Premier League at 27.
04:15 Had he started at a normal age,
04:17 maybe Alan Shearer's record wouldn't be there.
04:19 - He played in the Premier League at 27,
04:20 and he's still got over 100 Premier League goals.
04:22 - Yeah.
04:23 - Pretty mental, with Mark.
04:24 - Yeah.
04:24 - Phil Astor.
04:25 - Yeah.
04:26 - Maybe that.
04:27 - Oh, that's hard.
04:28 - I don't know.
04:29 - I've got a few moments as well.
04:29 - I just-
04:30 - With Jamie Vardy, there's about five or six.
04:32 - He goes to the Hall of Horns,
04:32 and he's just there giving fans in the front row.
04:34 - I tell you what, I will say the one,
04:36 like, black mark against Torres,
04:37 compared to Vardy, in my head,
04:39 'cause I think he's got no crack.
04:40 Whereas like, Jamie Vardy was just like,
04:42 I mean, given that, the Crystal Palace,
04:43 like, he just loved it, and then maybe that.
04:45 - That's when Torres cut his hair.
04:46 That's when he fell off a cliff.
04:47 - So, he samsoned himself, didn't he?
04:49 All right, okay, well, let's vote.
04:50 - I'm voting Jamie Vardy.
04:52 - Yeah, I'm gonna go Vardy.
04:54 Sorry.
04:55 - Ooh.
04:57 - Ooh, it's easy.
04:58 - I'll go Torres, see what you do.
05:00 - Well, I'm gonna go Torres still,
05:01 but as you drew them.
05:02 - It's my casting vote, and I think, yeah,
05:04 I've gotta go with Jamie Vardy.
05:06 For the legacy, I think he's a world-class striker.
05:08 - Okay.
05:09 - Yeah.
05:10 - Jamie Vardy.
05:11 - I've got Luis Suarez.
05:14 - Ooh.
05:15 - Deadly, deadly.
05:16 - Deadly.
05:17 And he will play,
05:18 attention,
05:22 Robin Van Persie.
05:24 - That's closer than I, that's tight, that, isn't it?
05:26 - Same era as well.
05:27 - Yeah.
05:28 - So, I'll just say, as somebody who drew this,
05:30 and as somebody who, Robin Van Persie,
05:33 I've celebrated many of his goals,
05:35 he's dead to me.
05:36 (laughing)
05:39 Luis Suarez.
05:39 - Okay.
05:40 - I've gotta go with Suarez, because,
05:42 simply put, I think,
05:44 okay, I'm too young to remember Thierry Henry
05:46 in the Premier League right now.
05:47 - Don't admit that, don't admit that.
05:49 - I think that he is the best player I've seen
05:52 in the flesh and live on TV,
05:54 in the Premier League, in my life.
05:55 - Suarez.
05:56 - I can remember, yeah.
05:57 And I include, I'm a City fan,
05:59 I include Kevin De Bruyne in that.
06:01 I include Ronaldo in that.
06:03 I think he is, that 13/14 season is the best
06:06 I have ever seen from a player.
06:08 - I'm just gonna pop a cherry bomb
06:09 down the toilet of this video, by the way.
06:11 Robin Van Persie won the Premier League.
06:13 - He did.
06:14 - Suarez never did.
06:15 - And he moved to win it as well.
06:17 - You know what, though, as well,
06:18 he won the Premier League by scoring a hat-trick
06:20 in the game that won him the Premier League,
06:21 and the volley was incredible.
06:23 - Yeah.
06:24 - It was offside.
06:25 (laughing)
06:27 - I'll put it this way, I think,
06:29 we're talking about this version of Suarez,
06:31 at the age he was in the Premier League,
06:33 I don't think he could have had the seasons Van Persie had,
06:35 but I think Van Persie,
06:36 if he'd been in that Liverpool team,
06:38 could have been that important.
06:39 - Is there a case that we are viewing Suarez
06:42 through the lens of what he achieved
06:44 after he went to Liverpool?
06:45 - Nah.
06:46 - That you go, "Okay, he did well."
06:47 - No, I'm not doing that.
06:48 - He did have a very, very good 13-14,
06:50 but we're almost convinced that it wasn't a fluke
06:53 by what he did when he left,
06:55 whereas some other players in the Premier League
06:58 have had those great seasons. - This is a great point.
07:01 - And then they've gone on to, like,
07:02 Euro Madrid to Barcelona and left.
07:04 - This is a great point.
07:06 - Well, Suarez had the ban for biting Ivanovic,
07:09 so he actually started that point.
07:09 - You're right, he's much better banter,
07:11 isn't he, great, yeah.
07:12 - He started the season in October,
07:15 and out of the 31 goals he scored, none were a penalty.
07:18 - Yeah.
07:19 - They were all open play goals.
07:19 - We're just gonna have to vote Suarez.
07:21 - Suarez?
07:22 - I'm gonna go with,
07:25 I think Robin Van Persie is almost the perfect striker,
07:29 but I think Luis Suarez is just better footballer.
07:31 - Right.
07:32 - I'm gonna go with Van Persie.
07:33 - Van Persie?
07:34 I'm gonna go Suarez.
07:36 - Right.
07:37 - I am gonna go, I'm gonna completely ignore
07:39 all the points I've just made about Van Persie,
07:41 and I am gonna just go Suarez.
07:43 By a hair.
07:43 - He's through.
07:44 - By a tooth.
07:45 - First one out is Sergio Aguero.
07:48 - Oh!
07:49 - All right, here we go.
07:51 - Don't give him a three.
07:52 - Michael Owen.
07:54 - Oh, Aguero, man.
07:55 Aguero's watched movies.
07:57 Aguero's seen more than three films in his life,
07:59 I'm willing to bet.
08:00 - Yeah, but has Aguero won a Ballon d'Or?
08:02 - He's got you there.
08:03 - Or run over a rabbit.
08:04 - I think you can't overlook Michael Owen in Liverpool.
08:06 - And a Ballon d'Or, so go with it.
08:08 - I would just like to say,
08:09 based on my personal lived experience with Michael Owen,
08:11 I can overlook anything I want to overlook.
08:14 - Would you do that, Gordon?
08:14 - As a Newcastle fan, are we talking here?
08:16 - Oh, yeah, just absolutely despicable human being,
08:20 purely in terms of his, and let's not forget,
08:21 that was in the Premier League,
08:23 so it does count towards this decision-making process here.
08:26 I just, I think Sergio Aguero is arguably
08:30 one of the most transformative signings any footballer,
08:32 he's a bit of Patrick Vieira for me,
08:33 in terms of like, a team went from X level to Y level,
08:37 not entirely off the back of one player,
08:40 but Aguero, I don't think they make that leap
08:43 from sort of like, credible challengers
08:45 to dominant Premier League winners, without Aguero.
08:48 - And he also did it for like a decade.
08:49 - He did it, yeah, consistently.
08:50 - But he scored a few plus goals in the season.
08:52 - Could you argue that Michael Owen coming through
08:55 for Liverpool at that time transformed Liverpool
08:58 from being sort of, also-Rans to...
09:01 - Also-Rans?
09:03 - Well, they won a treble.
09:05 - They won a treble. - They won a treble.
09:07 - They won a treble.
09:08 - It set them up for a Champions League win in 2005.
09:12 - Which he wasn't a part of.
09:15 - I'm gonna need to ask a question.
09:16 - I know who I'm gonna vote for,
09:17 but I do think Michael Owen was a transformative figure
09:20 for Liverpool in his own right.
09:21 - Potentially, yeah, but...
09:23 Potentially.
09:24 Look, he's in the deflated football
09:26 of the 16 greatest strikers,
09:28 he's obviously done something, but I just, I think...
09:30 - I know, grab it and not see movies, apparently.
09:32 - I think there's an argument that Sergio Aguero
09:34 is one of the greatest ever Premier League players,
09:36 full stop.
09:37 - Could you imagine Sergio Aguero
09:39 dressing up as a stack of donuts and singing
09:42 Spice Up Your Life on ITV?
09:43 - Absolutely not.
09:44 - No, I couldn't.
09:45 No, I couldn't.
09:46 And I no longer take the kind of things
09:47 that would enable me to do that,
09:48 so no, that's completely out.
09:50 - Aguero. - Aguero.
09:52 - Aguero.
09:53 - Go on, you little...
09:54 - In a bit, I...
09:54 - Go on, you twat.
09:57 We've got...
09:58 - Here we go.
09:59 - Andy Cole.
10:00 I presume it's Andy Cole.
10:01 - It is Andy Cole.
10:03 - Andrew Cole will play...
10:05 Will play...
10:07 Thierry Henry.
10:09 But it's Cole cutting dry this, isn't it, surely?
10:11 - It's just...
10:12 - Andy Cole, Andy Cole.
10:13 - So...
10:14 - Thierry Henry was on Strikers, so...
10:15 - Well, that's a good point.
10:16 - Andy Cole.
10:17 - Question for the Arsenal fan,
10:18 Andy Cole obviously had one of the most iconic
10:19 and catchy songs ever in the Premier League
10:21 sung about him.
10:22 - Andy Cole.
10:23 - Andy Cole, Andy, Andy Cole,
10:24 he gets the ball, he scores a goal,
10:25 Andy, Andy Cole.
10:26 Did Henry have any songs?
10:27 - Yeah.
10:28 - Were they good?
10:29 - No.
10:30 - So, Cole does have him beat on one criteria.
10:32 - Last night, he told me he'd seen the new Ian Wright,
10:35 said to him, "How good this be?"
10:37 Told me his name, Thierry Henry.
10:38 - That's actually, that's not bad, actually.
10:39 That's actually not bad.
10:41 Are we just, are we not, we're not...
10:42 Can we make any arguments, Andy Cole?
10:44 - We need to send Premier League goals, it's still...
10:45 - And he didn't score a single penalty, Andy Cole.
10:48 - Yeah, that is impressive, to be fair.
10:50 - And he was arguably as good
10:54 at a mid-table Blackburn Rovers side
10:56 as he was at the top of the league
10:58 with Newcastle and Manchester United.
10:59 - I will say...
11:00 - So, he deserves his credit.
11:02 - I will just say here,
11:03 when Andy Cole signed for Newcastle,
11:05 I had never in my life seen a football player
11:08 as good as that.
11:09 I did not know you could be that good at football
11:11 or be that...
11:12 Like, granted, I was five, five or something, right?
11:16 I was an idiot, right?
11:17 I still believed in Santa.
11:18 - You've not seen David Matip.
11:19 - I'd not seen anybody at that point, really.
11:21 But, sorry, mate.
11:22 But when Thierry Henry signed for Newcastle,
11:25 which never happened, that didn't happen either.
11:27 So, Cole's got that on Henry for me.
11:30 - That's true, yeah.
11:31 Thierry Henry has never done it at Newcastle.
11:33 - He's never done it.
11:34 - He's never done it at Keegan's Newcastle.
11:36 - But then Andy Cole never did it at New York Red Bulls, so...
11:40 - Yeah, well, yeah.
11:41 - Henry, Henry for me.
11:43 - Best goal catalog of any Premier League player.
11:45 - Oh, yeah, I mean, it's Henry,
11:46 but it's not to disregard Andy Cole.
11:47 - Yeah, agreed.
11:49 - We have got...
11:51 - Absolutely gagging for Shearer.
11:53 - We've got Wayne Rooney.
11:54 - Oh, don't be, don't be.
11:57 No!
11:58 - Right, I feel like I'm gonna be a winer on this one.
12:01 - In the parallel worlds,
12:03 Rooney replaced Shearer at Newcastle.
12:05 - Yeah.
12:06 - 'Cause he almost...
12:07 - Yeah, that's true, but not in this one.
12:08 And that's the one we're gonna vote in.
12:10 So, I'm just gonna set my store like really early here.
12:13 Alan Shearer should win this entire thing.
12:15 We'll get to this whenever we draw somebody
12:17 you disagree with that way, possibly even now.
12:19 But I think Alan Shearer is the greatest striker,
12:22 not only of his generation,
12:23 but the Premier League's ever seen.
12:24 And there is a statistical tally
12:27 where you can measure strikers.
12:28 It's called goals scored.
12:30 And he is at the top of that.
12:31 He did it in some of the just most rank-minging
12:35 Newcastle sides I have ever seen.
12:37 He got, as we discussed the other day,
12:38 in work, 'cause we do all have jobs,
12:40 he scored 14 goals in his last season,
12:42 on one leg, getting serviced by Peter Ramage
12:45 and Charlton Zogbia, right?
12:47 I don't think Wayne Rooney could have done that.
12:50 And I don't think Wayne Rooney could have done
12:52 what Shearer did in his career,
12:53 as evidenced by the fact Wayne Rooney did not do.
12:55 - He scored over 200 Premier League goals.
12:56 He's won a Champions League,
12:57 won countless Premier League titles.
12:59 And you're saying he-
13:00 - And he was also the most tactically neglected player
13:03 on this list, because half the time he was at United,
13:05 he wasn't really even played as a number nine
13:07 and still served it, came up with that much output.
13:11 - And the one season- - Off his own accord.
13:11 - The one season he was put as a number nine by himself,
13:15 2009-10, was like the best season-
13:17 - Great, brilliant, brilliant player.
13:19 Brilliant player.
13:19 - He scored ridiculous amount of goals.
13:21 - No argument for me, brilliant player.
13:22 - I think Shearer is,
13:24 we were chatting about this the other day,
13:25 and Shearer is so underrated as a football player.
13:31 - Yeah, people seem to see him on TV
13:34 and assume that he was this kind of poacher
13:37 just in the area, just sort of waiting for-
13:40 - Just somebody's dad sitting on match of the day,
13:42 like putting headers in, yeah.
13:42 - He was so good at crossing the football,
13:44 and that gets lost.
13:47 - Wayne Rooney could do all of that, but better.
13:49 - Yeah, I mean, Rooney was a very-
13:52 - If Rooney was better than Shearer, my friend,
13:54 why wasn't he better than Shearer?
13:55 - 100%.
13:56 - Rooney was better all around footballer than Shearer,
13:59 but I think that it's sometimes lost how good Shearer was.
14:02 It's not that much, it's that much.
14:05 - I'll tell you what, Shearer had two career-ending injuries
14:08 that he was never supposed to come back from.
14:10 Came back both times a different style of player
14:13 to sort of like offset the injury,
14:15 and still was scoring 20, 25 goals a season
14:17 off the back of that.
14:18 And I don't know who else could do that.
14:20 - I think Rooney hit a greater high than Shearer,
14:22 career-wise, he did.
14:24 Because you've got to think about the narrative
14:27 in the country on the national level at the time
14:29 when Rooney was in Europe in 2004,
14:30 then when he got injured for the '06 World Cup,
14:32 it was like a front page of the papers.
14:34 - Allow me-
14:35 - At mid-20 years old, and you're like-
14:37 - Can't remember that.
14:38 - The person that your country is relying on,
14:40 okay, he got sent off against Portugal,
14:41 but like, he was the most important person.
14:44 And the whole nation's hopes rested on his-
14:47 - Hey, look, if we want to go down that route,
14:49 Shearer was the sort of heartbeat of the team
14:51 when you were in '96,
14:52 and then got further in that tournament.
14:53 We'll just have to vote,
14:55 and I am obviously voting for Alan Shearer.
14:57 - Right, so we've got one for Shearer.
14:58 I, again, do think Rooney's a better footballer,
15:00 and if I was to rank all these,
15:01 I would probably have Rooney in the top four.
15:03 - This is the best strikers video.
15:04 Let's keep it, let's keep it-
15:05 - I am, for that reason- - The best strikers video.
15:07 - I am actually gonna vote for Shearer.
15:09 I will vote for Alan Shearer.
15:10 - Oh, this is tough, isn't it?
15:13 - I mean, it doesn't matter.
15:13 - This is what knockout football's all about, mate.
15:16 - Rooney's knocked out anyway, regardless.
15:18 - My head says Rooney, my heart says Shearer,
15:21 but yeah, it's gotta be Shearer.
15:23 He's the-
15:24 - Got to, we can't-
15:25 - Got to be, got to be.
15:27 - We can't knock out the leading scorer
15:31 of the Premier League in the first round.
15:32 That's just sacrilege. - Right, yeah.
15:34 - Rooney.
15:35 Well, good job, that doesn't matter for anything.
15:37 Shearer correctly goes through.
15:39 All right, Mark.
15:40 - Harold Kane.
15:43 - Oh. - Harry Kane.
15:45 - Kane, Rooney, and Shearer all out in a three there.
15:49 - Versus Robbie Fowler.
15:52 - Well, Harry Kane.
15:52 - Well, yeah, Harry Kane's-
15:53 - No, Fowler, Robbie, again, I would like to-
15:56 I was waiting for Kane to come out of the hat
15:57 so I could go, yeah, but has he won the Premier League?
15:59 And Robbie Fowler hasn't.
16:01 (laughing)
16:03 - I would like there to be some sort of consideration
16:06 for how much pat on a footballer has in all this.
16:08 And Robbie Fowler's obviously a high, high patter,
16:10 but I don't think he's so high patter
16:12 that that catches up with Harry Kane.
16:12 - Has Harry Kane ever been keen on Dodger?
16:14 - No, he's never, Harry Kane's just, he's tofu, isn't he?
16:17 Like, there's nothing to him, really.
16:19 He's just a really efficient scorer of goals.
16:21 - Yeah, and a very good footballer.
16:23 - And a very, like, he's genuinely probably
16:25 the best all-round player on this list.
16:27 - Yeah.
16:28 - Had he have remained in the Premier League,
16:31 he would be taking Shira's back more.
16:32 - 100%.
16:33 - And Shira would not be in the second round
16:34 of this competition.
16:35 - Yeah, well.
16:36 - So.
16:37 - Well, if my grandmother had wheels,
16:38 she would have been a bike.
16:39 So that's not happened, so.
16:41 - Are we doing this quickly?
16:42 This is point one in-
16:43 - I'd look, I would just,
16:44 if you are watching this, Robbie Fowler,
16:45 I would just like to say there's been loads of names
16:47 come out that you genuinely probably could have beat,
16:49 but there's just some players on this
16:51 that unless they get drawn against Shira, lol,
16:54 aren't going through to the next round.
16:55 And Harry Kane's one of them.
16:56 - All-time England scores, Robbie.
16:58 - Yeah, sorry.
16:59 Sorry, Robbie.
17:00 Maybe in another life, but not this one.
17:02 - It's a shame, though.
17:03 - All right, last two.
17:04 - Last two.
17:05 - The last one is, did he have drogba?
17:07 - Oh, I didn't, I forgot Drogba was in this.
17:10 - Against Ruud van Nistelrooy.
17:13 - Oh!
17:13 (laughing)
17:14 - Can I read the opening statement?
17:16 - Can you, yeah.
17:21 - If this was who was the best striker.
17:25 - Which it is.
17:26 - Well, who's the best Premier League striker.
17:28 - Oh, right, okay, okay.
17:29 - Ruud van Nistelrooy's Premier League career
17:32 outweighs Didier Drogba's.
17:34 - I'd agree.
17:35 - Yeah.
17:36 - Didier Drogba's career outweighs Ruud van Nistelrooy's.
17:39 - Well, I wouldn't say that's a given, necessarily.
17:41 - It would be like final goals, really.
17:42 - I wouldn't say that's a given.
17:43 - It's not final goals, it's what he did in Europe,
17:45 it's all round ability as a player,
17:48 but what Ruud van Nistelrooy did in the Premier League
17:50 slightly outweighs Drogba's.
17:52 - Here's the thing, I think going back to that thing
17:54 I said about how a player can come in
17:56 and be very much the one who takes them
17:58 from one level to another.
17:59 I know Drogba was never a prolific finisher,
18:01 he was regarded as quite wasteful,
18:03 but I think Chelsea were that version of Man City
18:07 for a long time.
18:07 They were like, I think they had won the league prior to that
18:10 so they were a little bit further down the line,
18:11 but they weren't a top, top team, you know what I mean?
18:14 They had enough about them, they had Mourinho,
18:16 I think Mourinho had Kesman in his first year.
18:18 - Yeah, and Good Johnson.
18:19 - Good Johnson, there was enough there
18:20 to get over the line,
18:21 but they weren't gonna establish themselves
18:23 as a consistent Premier League winning side.
18:24 I think Drogba was that player for them.
18:26 I think he was the elite striker they needed to bring in
18:28 and sort of like, yeah, you could make the argument
18:31 about Essien had to come in and be there,
18:33 you made it out when Balic had to come in and be there,
18:35 Joe Colt, you know, like there was lots of them
18:37 that contributed to that,
18:38 but I think without Drogba, who teams were terrified,
18:41 I think people forget how much teams
18:43 were just scared of him.
18:44 So even in games where he wasn't--
18:45 - He's still their best striker ever.
18:46 - I would argue, yeah, even in games where he didn't score,
18:49 he took up so much of the opposition's attention
18:51 of how do we just deal with Drogba
18:53 that it allowed a lot of other players to flourish.
18:55 - Based on your Alan Shearer logic,
18:57 as an actual out-and-out goal scorer,
18:58 Van Nistelrooy is better.
18:59 - Yeah.
19:00 - But--
19:01 - Good Drogba.
19:02 It's tough, I think this is the hardest one,
19:04 this, Van Nistelrooy or Drogba.
19:05 I think you've got to ask yourself, who would you,
19:07 if you were building a team,
19:09 - Yeah.
19:10 - Who, your first pick had to be one of these two.
19:12 - Well, it depends if you have David Beckham or not,
19:15 'cause Beckham and Van Nistelroo was just unbeatable.
19:18 - It was, it was just unbelievable.
19:20 - I think the thing is as well with Drogba,
19:22 there's a bit of a notion that he was like a flat-track bully
19:24 or like his game was completely based on physicality
19:27 and pace, but it really never was.
19:29 You look at his goalcasts,
19:30 obviously, I mean, like backheels,
19:31 - Yeah.
19:32 - Like death flips, he could take three kicks,
19:33 I think he scored one in the--
19:34 - Far more technical.
19:35 - He scored three kick at Arsenal,
19:36 he was far, I think he was far more technical
19:39 than Van Nistelrooy as well, so.
19:41 - Van Nistelrooy only scored one goal
19:42 outside the penalty area in this entire match.
19:45 - It's 'cause, what a stat, what a stat.
19:48 - Yeah, to be fair, Harvard's got two facilities,
19:49 so they're pretty similar, aren't they?
19:51 - Yeah, this is so different.
19:52 - I think, which, which you gonna have to vote?
19:53 - Drogba.
19:54 - Drogba?
19:55 - Yeah.
19:56 - Come back to me.
19:57 - No, doesn't work like that.
19:58 - Oh, I'm gonna go,
20:00 no, I'll go Van Nistelrooy, I'll go Van Nistelrooy.
20:04 - I think I'll go Van Nistelrooy.
20:06 - Oh, do you know what?
20:07 - Reluctantly.
20:09 - Don't, you can't not Drogba out in the first round.
20:12 - Who, who, who pulled these, did you pull these?
20:15 So if I go, what does,
20:17 oh, it's Van Nistelrooy, regardless, I don't know.
20:19 - Well, I'll tell you, I'm gonna go Drogba,
20:22 just so that everybody will know that this was a tie,
20:24 this was a tie.
20:25 - And that's it for the first round,
20:26 so now we will go into the quarter final phase.
20:29 We'll put them back into the ball,
20:30 redraw them, and see what happens.
20:33 Right, we're ready to go again.
20:34 I cannot believe Wayne Rooney and Didier Drogba out,
20:37 but they are, for some reason.
20:39 You're drawing again, Alan, so.
20:40 - Here we go.
20:43 - It's either Ross Stewart or,
20:45 okay, right, your first quarter final.
20:47 Sergio Aguero will play Harry Kane.
20:53 (laughing)
20:57 Wow, okay, just as opening, as an opening argument,
21:02 I think it's Aguero.
21:04 - Yeah, I do.
21:04 - I do think it might be Aguero.
21:06 - I think it's Kane, and I think it's quite.
21:08 - It's close, like, the thing is,
21:11 - It's quite close.
21:12 - Why do you think it's Kane?
21:13 - I was gonna say it's quite open, yeah.
21:14 - You think it's Kane?
21:15 - I think it's Kane.
21:16 I think he was a better footballer, technically.
21:19 - I agree with that, but purely as a better striker.
21:22 - I think he can do a lot more.
21:23 - Yeah.
21:23 - He can pass the ball back.
21:24 He's not better, technically, than Aguero was
21:25 when he was a kid.
21:26 - How many, this isn't me trying to trip you up,
21:29 how many golden boots did Aguero have?
21:30 - He only won one.
21:31 - One.
21:32 - Really?
21:33 - Yeah.
21:34 - There you go.
21:35 - Yeah, but he's got the best goals to game ratio
21:36 in Premier League history.
21:37 He was injured.
21:37 - Oh!
21:39 - He was injured for several months
21:41 throughout several title winning seasons for City,
21:43 and we, like, for instance, Pellegrini,
21:45 when we won it with him,
21:46 Torri had to step up in his shoes
21:47 'cause he missed the second half of the season,
21:49 and he still scored 20 goals in that season
21:51 when he was in.
21:52 He played half the year.
21:53 - I can't think of many Harry Kane goals
21:57 that I don't think Aguero was capable of scoring.
21:59 - Yeah.
22:00 - But I can think, but I can, like what, like--
22:02 - Won against Chelsea.
22:03 - But Aguero was great from outside the box.
22:04 - He was.
22:05 - He's not as, like, 30 yards out.
22:07 He can, like--
22:08 - His first, it's like his first goal for City
22:10 was like a 35-yard rigger.
22:13 - Yeah, but--
22:14 - Another stat--
22:14 - When he got later on, he was a bit more--
22:16 - Yeah, true, no, but--
22:17 - Another stat, Aguero scored the most goals
22:19 against top six sides in Premier League history.
22:21 - That, that, I've heard enough, I've heard enough of you.
22:24 - I think Tottenham were a perennial, perennially--
22:27 - Perennial, yeah.
22:28 - I can't say that word.
22:29 - Yeah.
22:30 - A mid-table side, like--
22:30 - Yeah, yeah.
22:31 - When I was growing up.
22:32 - They were.
22:33 - And then, Gareth Bale, like,
22:34 Harry Redknapp comes along, then Gareth Bale comes along,
22:37 and then Harry Kane kept them at such a high level.
22:39 - I don't--
22:39 - Gets them to a Champions League final.
22:40 - But they have a good team.
22:41 - The thing about this is,
22:43 nothing we say is not gonna be true, you know what I mean?
22:45 Like, that is a great argument
22:47 for why he's such a great player,
22:48 but I just think, I don't know,
22:50 I just think, we look at the last couple of years
22:52 of the Premier League, like,
22:53 during the Aguero era of Man City,
22:56 he really was, like, the best player in that team for me.
23:00 - He was the face of the Premier League for 10 years.
23:01 - He was the face of that side.
23:02 - He was better.
23:03 - Yeah, better at what he did.
23:06 I think if you take Aguero out of that team,
23:10 Man City aren't the force they were for as long as they were
23:12 and they don't win as much as they did.
23:14 - I think that Pep Guardiola proved,
23:16 by winning a league with false nines,
23:20 that Aguero has had it an awful lot easier
23:23 than Harry Kane across his career.
23:25 - That's just Pep being a genius.
23:27 - What are you doing?
23:28 What are you doing?
23:29 What are you doing?
23:31 We're gonna, right, we're just gonna have to go here.
23:34 Aguero, Aguero for me.
23:35 - I can't believe you're knocking out--
23:38 - I will say this, I will say this,
23:40 if you're a Spurs fan,
23:41 you're absolutely losing your nuts here.
23:42 I can't believe--
23:43 - I cannot believe--
23:44 - That Harry Kane is going out in the quarterfinals.
23:46 But let's face it, he's used to it, isn't he, lads?
23:49 So, off he goes.
23:52 He's walking off, he's walking off.
23:54 - Right, quarterfinal round two is--
23:57 - I mean, there's no bad players in this hat, is there?
24:01 They're all big fixtures.
24:02 - We have got Eric Cantona--
24:05 - Okay.
24:06 - And this is, if I can unwrap it,
24:09 it is Ruud van Nistelrooy.
24:11 (imitates drum roll)
24:13 - Right, so you made me nine legends,
24:16 and one of them was--
24:17 - And one was more iconic than the other.
24:19 - Yeah.
24:19 - This is just--
24:20 - Can I just say, I think it's Eric Cantona.
24:22 I think he is the Premier League in the '90s.
24:26 You think of the Premier League in the '90s,
24:27 you think of Eric Cantona.
24:29 You think of the Premier League in the 2000s.
24:31 - Sorry, I think of the Premier League in the '90s.
24:32 I think of David Batty, thank you very much, right?
24:34 - Okay.
24:35 - He put the Premier League on the map, didn't he?
24:36 And I think he paved the way for other foreign players
24:38 to come into the league.
24:40 - Yeah, he was the reason behind United being successful.
24:42 - Yeah, that first proper dynasty in the Premier League.
24:45 I don't think, I'm imagining during the '90s,
24:47 in fact, I was there, I remember it,
24:49 loads of kids were running around the playground
24:50 pretending to be Eric Cantona, flicking their collar.
24:52 Nobody was like, what was like--
24:54 - An Alice fan, probably.
24:55 - Yeah, nobody was like cutting about with an Alice fan
24:58 pretending to be Ruud van Nistelrooy until right now.
25:00 (laughs)
25:01 - I like it.
25:02 - Yeah, I'm gonna go Cantona.
25:03 - Cantona.
25:04 - Eric's through.
25:05 - Ooh, let's see what we got.
25:07 Can't do it.
25:10 Alan Shearer.
25:13 - Easy.
25:14 - There's a deciding voter on this.
25:16 I think it's gonna be--
25:17 - Yeah, him, I'll say.
25:18 - Jamie Vardy.
25:21 - All right, okay.
25:22 - Best of luck, lads, best of luck.
25:25 I would just like to say, I think Alan Shearer
25:27 is a much better striker than Jamie Vardy,
25:29 and that's the end of my argument.
25:30 - I would agree, to be fair.
25:31 It is Alan Shearer we're talking about here.
25:33 - Although I'd have Vardy in my top 10
25:35 Premier League strikers ever.
25:37 - I agree with that, but I think a lot of the arguments
25:39 you make for Vardy, like he did it quite late,
25:41 he scored goals in the first 30,
25:42 he scored all different types of goals,
25:44 he was mercurial in like--
25:46 - In the box.
25:46 - Yeah, he--
25:47 - And attractive.
25:48 - That's so smart.
25:50 - Yeah, like Blackburn, for example, yeah.
25:53 So I think every single argument you can make about Vardy,
25:55 you can make about Shearer.
25:57 - I would agree with that.
25:58 Yeah.
26:00 - That was easy, that was great, that was dead quick.
26:02 - Yep.
26:03 - I'm gonna go with...
26:05 - Thierry.
26:06 - Thierry Henry.
26:07 - Thierry Henry.
26:08 - It's better be Les Ferdinand.
26:09 Suarez.
26:12 Do you know what?
26:14 I think that's probably,
26:15 'cause the instinct is straight away,
26:16 it's gotta be Henry.
26:17 But I think, I know we all get the thing about,
26:20 oh, Suarez probably looked better than he was
26:21 'cause of the team he was in,
26:22 and Van Nistelrooy was obviously--
26:24 - This is the two best players in the list.
26:26 - The two best footballers in the list are here right now,
26:28 I would say that, yeah, I would say that.
26:30 - I would edge Henry because of what he did
26:32 in the Premier League.
26:32 - He's over the whole career.
26:34 I personally might say that Suarez edges Henry,
26:36 but purely in the Premier League,
26:39 I think it's almost impossible.
26:41 - You could make a case that the 13, 14 season
26:43 from Suarez was better than any individual season
26:46 that Thierry Henry ever had.
26:48 I think you'd probably be wrong
26:49 because he scored 30 goals in one season,
26:51 he made 20 assists in another season.
26:53 But...
26:53 - You could make that argument,
26:56 but again, I would say that's probably more a product
26:58 of the fact that Suarez was in that team
27:00 where it was all about him.
27:01 Whereas Henry, yes, probably the best player
27:04 in that invincible side,
27:05 but surrounded by unbelievable football.
27:08 Like Suarez was doing it with Joe Allen,
27:09 you know what I mean?
27:10 And Henry was doing it with Patrick Vieira.
27:12 - And again, like you said, you remember Eric Cantona
27:14 was the icon of the '90s Premier League,
27:16 the icon of the '00s was Thierry Henry.
27:18 - Yeah, I think we're all going Henry, aren't we?
27:21 We're all going Henry, right.
27:23 - Okay, into the semifinals, there is four left.
27:25 We have Sergio Aguero, Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer,
27:28 and Eric Cantona, who's had a bit of an easy run.
27:31 - Tasty that, isn't it?
27:32 Tasty that.
27:33 Right, your first semifinal,
27:34 Alan Shearer will play-
27:38 - He's got the deciding, we've got a rally.
27:40 - Oh no, the greatest strike in the history
27:42 of the Premier League might get an easy ride through.
27:43 Versus Henry.
27:45 - Oh man.
27:46 - Oh.
27:47 (laughing)
27:48 - Why have you done that?
27:49 That's the final.
27:50 - Why have I done that?
27:51 Sorry.
27:52 - That is the final.
27:53 I mean, I've got to go with Thierry Henry.
27:56 I think he's the best Premier League player of all time.
27:58 And I don't, I think, I think your watch has ended.
28:01 You've tried hard.
28:02 - Can I, right, can I just try and make the case here?
28:04 'Cause don't get me wrong, I agree.
28:05 I think this should be the final two.
28:07 I agree with that completely.
28:09 I would say again, Alan Shearer played for some
28:12 of the worst football teams I've ever seen in my life.
28:15 Thierry, you put Thierry Henry under Ruud Gullit
28:19 and Kenny Dalglish, and God bless him, Glenn Roda,
28:22 and you see what happens to that man's goal scorer.
28:25 Oh my God.
28:25 I don't think either of these men could have had
28:27 the same career as the other one.
28:28 They're two different footballers in different worlds,
28:30 in different teams, with different abilities.
28:32 But what I will say is the adversity that Shearer
28:35 had to go through to get that record,
28:37 I think Thierry Henry doesn't get anywhere near,
28:39 if you put the kind of challenges in front of Henry
28:42 that Shearer had to overcome,
28:43 I don't think Henry gets anywhere near the career he's had.
28:46 - I don't think Shearer would have been able
28:47 to do the French accent in the Baba Bouma.
28:49 - You don't know that.
28:50 You do not know that.
28:52 You do not know that.
28:53 - I also don't think Shearer would have been as good
28:54 in the Arsenal side as Henry was.
28:55 - Different teams, different team though.
28:57 - I know he's a different profile,
28:57 but like Henry is the only player I think I've ever seen
29:00 in the Premier League where it's like,
29:02 it's like a man playing against babies.
29:04 - I agree.
29:05 Totally agree.
29:06 Totally agree.
29:06 - He's just like so far ahead of the rest.
29:08 - Yeah.
29:08 - For that, just on the eye test alone.
29:10 - Tell you what, I would have voted Shearer
29:12 if he had a more, if he had a better celebration.
29:15 Just change it up.
29:16 - That's iconic.
29:17 - It's the most boring thing I've ever seen.
29:19 - It's not the knee slide though, is it?
29:20 - It's not the knee slide, just there.
29:21 - Look, look, Shearer was a product of Britain in the 80s.
29:24 Of it, you grew in a post-industrial town.
29:26 They weren't worried about like dancing around corner flags.
29:29 You just bothered about putting the ball in the net.
29:31 - Thought he wasn't.
29:32 I thought he was more than that.
29:33 - No, just.
29:34 (laughing)
29:34 Right, we're gonna have to vote.
29:35 - So you're going with Henry?
29:37 - Is everyone going with Henry?
29:38 Honestly, everyone's going with Henry.
29:39 Well, I am going with, I am going,
29:42 I went with Shearer.
29:43 I went with Shearer.
29:44 - Well, Thierry's in the final.
29:46 Sergio Aguero.
29:48 - Steve Carroll.
29:49 - Versus
29:50 Eric Cantona.
29:53 - I did it.
29:54 - I mean.
29:55 - Both similar in terms of how they held their clubs.
29:58 - Yeah.
29:59 - Like, start.
30:00 - Transformative figure at Manchester Club,
30:02 who's helped them go on and shape a dynasty.
30:04 - And I think,
30:05 - They have that in common.
30:06 - The one thing that separates them is longevity.
30:08 - Yeah.
30:09 - Which Aguero is.
30:10 - And I think probably about a hundred odd goals.
30:11 - And a hundred odd goals.
30:12 - Which is.
30:13 - And Aguero was never banned for,
30:15 - For kicking a flag.
30:15 - You're right, that was really cool.
30:17 That counts, four counting off for me, not against him.
30:20 Aguero would never have the bottle to do that.
30:22 He would've just been like, "Oh, that man's being mean."
30:24 - Aguero two-footed David Luiz in the stomach.
30:26 - Yes.
30:27 - At home, at the Etihad.
30:28 - I did, he did.
30:28 - He was a hot-headed Aguero.
30:29 - He did have that dog in him.
30:30 - He did.
30:31 - Yeah.
30:32 - Should we, I mean, it's, it's.
30:33 - Are you voting for Cantona?
30:34 - We know it's Aguero.
30:35 We're all voting for Aguero.
30:36 - We're all voting Aguero.
30:37 - We're all voting Aguero.
30:38 - Well, if you're all voting Aguero,
30:39 I'll vote for Cantona out of,
30:40 he deserves a vote for this.
30:42 A pity vote.
30:43 - As a nod to him.
30:44 - As a nod to him.
30:45 - He deserves a vote, so.
30:45 - As the coolest man on this list, he deserves a vote.
30:47 - Yeah.
30:48 - Right.
30:49 - So there we have it.
30:50 Sergio Aguero versus Thierry Henry in the final.
30:53 Could have gone a lot worse that, I feel.
30:54 I think we've got two very, very big names
30:57 and worthy names in the final, so.
30:59 - Do you want to just, just,
31:00 - The match will draw, the match will draw.
31:01 - See who the home player is, who the away player is.
31:03 - For sake of honoring the competition,
31:06 so there he is, Sergio.
31:07 And also, yeah, King Kong and Thierry Henry.
31:13 You put Alan Shearer?
31:14 Alan Shearer, no way.
31:16 Oh my, we're going to have to honor the process.
31:18 - It's the heated balls all over again.
31:20 Well, it is Thierry Henry, so.
31:22 I mean, it is Thierry Henry.
31:26 It is Thierry Henry.
31:27 - Are we arguing this or are we?
31:28 - I think, whoa.
31:29 I think you can make the argument, certainly,
31:31 because I think football changed so much
31:35 between Henry and Aguero's era.
31:36 That by the, you'd argue they had similar impacts,
31:39 similar records.
31:40 I'd say it's actually far more impressive
31:42 things we've done it recently.
31:44 Like the standards overall are so, so, so high now.
31:48 And as well, the Premier League has changed so much.
31:51 If you look at the other players that get brought in,
31:53 like clubs like halfway down the league
31:55 are going out and buying players
31:56 that like the top clubs across Europe are all after,
31:59 'cause they've got that kind of spending power now.
32:00 To be at the very top of that league
32:02 so consistently for so long is like,
32:05 it's a different game.
32:06 It's a different proposition entirely
32:08 to when Henry was doing it, you know what I mean?
32:10 And I think, I'd honestly be tempted to go Aguero.
32:14 - No.
32:14 - As a City fan, I don't even know if I can.
32:17 I don't know if I can.
32:18 - Has Aguero ever made anyone look silly?
32:20 Like, Henry made Jamie Carragher,
32:23 on multiple occasions, like a very good defender,
32:26 look like a Leaf Two level kid, you know?
32:29 He's just turning him into like-
32:31 - Yeah, look, he had Riz.
32:32 He had Riz, whatever.
32:34 - He was by the corner flag, that was my favourite.
32:36 - Yeah, okay, I can't.
32:37 - You can see the look on Nils' face.
32:39 - I think my favourite Henri goal
32:40 is that flick up volley against United
32:42 where he's got it back to goal.
32:43 Like, Aguero doesn't have that in his locker.
32:45 - Do you even think about that?
32:46 Why is he thinking about turning the volley?
32:49 - Mis-control it, obviously.
32:51 - It's just, yeah, Aguero is probably,
32:54 I do think Aguero is a better finisher in the box
32:56 for what that's worth.
32:57 Like, I remember the goal he scored against Liverpool
32:59 a couple of years ago where he was like on the byline
33:01 and he smashed it through for the net
33:02 against Alisson on his left foot.
33:04 - I will say that Aguero was much better
33:06 in a penalty area than Thierry Henry.
33:08 That's only because Thierry Henry
33:10 barely played in a penalty area at all.
33:12 - Didn't he?
33:13 - No, he drifted off left, like you say,
33:14 he was kind of outside netting.
33:15 - Look, I will just clarify
33:16 before I get absolutely roasted in the comments here
33:18 that I absolutely think the answer is Henri.
33:20 I'm just trying to see if we can make the case for Aguero.
33:22 Final point on that, final point on that,
33:24 Henri, by his own admission,
33:26 couldn't really cut it in a pep team.
33:28 - He was being able to play in a position,
33:30 like, left wing, very rigid.
33:32 - He still wanted trouble in a pep team.
33:33 - He did, he did.
33:34 People aren't, like, these are,
33:35 hey, look, take it up with Thierry Henry, lads.
33:37 - This is not what I'm saying.
33:38 - He was dropped from Pep Tour, wasn't he?
33:40 - He said he couldn't really cut it in a pep team,
33:41 whereas Aguero was a pep team.
33:43 So how much, how much stuff?
33:44 - Aguero was being asked to play in a position
33:45 that he's not, like, comfortable to have.
33:47 - He had to adapt, though.
33:48 He had to adapt massively.
33:49 - Aguero was totally adaptable.
33:50 - He had to drop deeper.
33:51 - His first couple of seasons under Pep,
33:52 it was a little bit sticky.
33:54 - There was talk in 2016, in Pep's first season,
33:56 that he was gonna go in January,
33:58 and it was that bad, and, like,
33:59 he'd been completely frozen out of the team.
34:00 This is before we had Gabriel Jesus,
34:02 and then he came back.
34:03 - And started in action.
34:04 - And started under Nolito,
34:06 if you remember Nolito, as well.
34:07 - Do you remember Nolito?
34:08 - Yeah, so we had, it was just disjointed,
34:10 and then Aguero sort of glued it all together.
34:13 But, having said that, I mean,
34:15 the best footballer I've ever seen in the Premier League,
34:17 purely from YouTube, is Thierry Henry.
34:19 - Yeah, and I was there, and it was still Thierry Henry,
34:22 so it's gotta be Thierry Henry.
34:23 - Thierry.
34:24 - Thierry.
34:25 - Full house Thierry Henry.
34:26 Well, there we go, Thierry Henry won.
34:28 I don't think anyone can say that they're surprised, really.
34:31 I'm certainly not, because I thought he would do,
34:33 when we started this,
34:34 but it's nice to see, you know, who got near him.
34:37 Anyway, hope you enjoyed that.
34:38 We'll probably be back with some more installments,
34:41 ranking wingers, centre midfielders,
34:42 centre-halves, perhaps, so stay tuned.
34:45 Hope you enjoyed it.
