Salah, Ronaldo, Bale, Gerrard: MOTD pundits rank top 10 PFA Players’ Player of the Year winners

Micah Richards and Alan Shearer have ranked the 10 best PFA Players’ Player of the Year award winners of the Premier League era.

Speaking on the latest episode of BBC Sounds’ Match of the Day Top 10 podcast, the retired footballers-turned-pundits were asked to rank the following players: Kevin De Bruyne, Eric Cantona, Gareth Bale, Alan Shearer, Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry, Steven Gerrard, Cristiano Ronaldo and Mohamed Salah.

Not an easy task, right? All of the players are – or were – outstanding in their own right and deserving winners of the aforementioned individual award, which is voted for by all Premier League players.

Just missing out on a place on the shortlist were the likes of John Terry, Dennis Bergkamp, Ryan Giggs, Robin van Persie, Eden Hazard, N’Golo Kante and Virgil van Dijk.

Shearer and Richards both came up with different top 10s, with host Gary Lineker having the deciding say for the overall winner.
