Diego Costa (Richards: 10th, Shearer: 10th)

Striker Diego Costa played for Chelsea from 2014 to 2017. He scored 52 Premier League goals and won two titles. He was never shown a red card during a Premier League game (although was given one retrospectively) but was booked 26 times in 89 games.

Julian Dicks (Richards: 9th, Shearer: 2nd)

Defender Julian Dicks played for Liverpool in 1993-94 and then spent five years at West Ham - his second spell at the club. He was sent off once and booked 22 times in 134 Premier League games.

David Batty (Richards: 8th, Shearer: 7th)

England midfielder David Batty played 266 Premier League games for Leeds (two spells), Blackburn and Newcastle between 1992 and 2004. He was booked 65 times and sent off on five occasions.

Stuart Pearce (Richards: 7th, Shearer: 6th)

England left-back Stuart Pearce played 202 Premier League games for Nottingham Forest (mostly), Newcastle and West Ham, having also played nine seasons in the old First Division. He was only sent off twice in the Premier League, with 38 yellow cards. Known as a set-piece specialist, he scored 20 goals.

Patrick Vieira (Richards: 6th, Shearer: 5th)

A true legend, Patrick Vieira won three titles with Arsenal and was named Premier League player of the year in 2000-01. In 307 Premier League appearances (including a spell at Manchester City) he was booked 76 times and sent off on eight occasions, a joint Premier League record. He scored 31 goals.

Jaap Stam (Richards: 3rd, Shearer: 9th)

Netherlands defender Jaap Stam only played three years in England - from 1998 to 2000 with Manchester United. He won the title in each of his three seasons, including the Treble. He was never sent off and only booked 11 times in 79 Premier League games.

Vinnie Jones (Richards: 2nd, Shearer: 8th)

Wales midfielder Vinnie Jones played 177 Premier League games for Wimbledon from 1992 to 1998 and another seven for Chelsea at the start of the Premier League era. He was shown 36 yellow cards and seven red cards in those games.

1. Roy Keane

Wright: "I loved Roy Keane. He was captain for so many years when Manchester United were absolutely dominating. He is exactly what you need as a captain. He wasn't someone everybody liked, but you don't need to like the captain. He led - and what it means on the pitch is what it is all about."

2. John Terry

Shearer: "He was everything you wanted in a captain. He had the respect of managers, fans and players. He wasn't liked by other fans, but it didn't affect him - it probably spurred him on if anything, and he delivered."

3. Steven Gerrard

Shearer: "Look at his appearances, more than 500 in the Premier League, and what he gave to that football club and what that football club meant to him. He did it every year, week in, week out."

4. Tony Adams

Wright: "No matter what he was going through personally, he came in every day and was always the leader, the captain, ready to go. He led by example, he looked you in the eye and told you exactly what he wanted from you. He would tell you home truths. He was a proper leader."

5. Patrick Vieira

Shearer: "Vieira was horrible to play against, in a nice way. He could play if he wanted to play, but if you wanted to have a fight or be physical with him, he was as hard as they come."

6. Vincent Kompany

Shearer: "He was an excellent player and a leader. He started in midfield, went back to centre-half and delivered titles. He was huge with the fans, he got it in terms of what the club was about."

7. Nemanja Vidic

Shearer: "He was hard as they come. I can't argue with what he delivered. A fantastic player and captain."

N'Golo Kante (Shearer: 3rd, Richards: 10th)

The Frenchman has made the defensive midfield position his own since moving to the Premier League to join Leicester from Caen in 2015. He was a vital cog in the Foxes remarkable title win in his first season - a feat he repeated the next season after joining Chelsea.

Tim Cahill (Shearer: 10th, Richards: 5th)

Australian Cahill was a snip for Everton when they bought him from Millwall for just £1.5m in 2004. A highly-efficient central-midfielder, Cahill's biggest weapon was his aerial ability, coupled with an innate ability to time runs into the box.

Branislav Ivanovic (Shearer: 7th. Richards: 7th)

At 6ft 1in, built like a brick outhouse and never afraid to get stuck in, it was hard to miss Ivanovic on a football field. But arguably his most important quality was his consistency of performance, which meant that the right side of Chelsea's defence was largely taken care of for numerous seasons.

Robbie Keane (Shearer: 7th. Richards: 7th)

As a centre forward, Keane is something of an oddity on this list. But the Irishman so often acted as the efficient foil to a more lauded front man during his time with numerous clubs, including Leeds, Tottenham and Liverpool. Most of his career was spent with Spurs, for whom he scored 91 goals in 238 Premier League appearances.

Ray Parlour (Shearer: 5th, Richards: 8th)

Not as dominating as Patrick Vieira and Emmanuel Petit, not as quick as Marc Overmars or as skilful as Robert Pires, Ray Parlour was nevertheless vital to Arsenal in the 1990s and early 2000s. He would make 379 Premier League appearances in total, the majority for the Gunners, chipping in with vital goals and continual movement and drive.

Gareth Barry (Shearer: 8th, Richards: 2nd)

Over a record 653 appearances, Barry was as consistent and dependable as it comes in defence or midfield. A rock at first club Aston Villa, where he would spend 11 years, he finally got himself some medals after joining Manchester City, where he played a big role in their first Premier League title win in 2011-12.

Tim Sherwood (Shearer: 6th, Richards: 4th)

Midfielder Sherwood cut his teeth at Watford and Norwich, but his career would really take off after joining upwardly mobile Blackburn in 1992 - the year the Premier League began. Alongside David Batty - another great unsung hero - he would form a title-winning central-midfield in 1994-95.

Fabio Rochemback v Manchester City in 2008 (Richards: 10th, Shearer: 4th)

Rochemback's sensational free-kick against Manchester City in his final appearance for Middlesbrough in 2008 ensured the Brazilian will forever be remembered fondly on Teesside. His long-range effort made it 6-0 against City in a game that ended 8-1.

Alan Shearer v Manchester United in 2002 (Richards: 9th, Shearer 5th)

Shearer's 100th goal for Newcastle United was all about power. While the Magpies were beaten 5-3 on the day, Shearer launched an unstoppable effort into the top right corner and beyond World Cup-winning France goalkeeper Fabien Barthez after the free-kick was rolled into his path.

Gianfranco Zola v Tottenham 2003 (Richards: 8th, Shearer: 9th)

Chelsea's magician Zola bewitched Tottenham with his wand of a right foot in 2003. The free-kick from the left edge of the area begged to be chucked into 'the mixer', but the Italian had other audacious plans and found the top right-hand corner instead.

David Beckham v Fulham 2001 (Richards: 7th, Shearer: 8th)

The fact that "bend it like Beckham" is common parlance and a byword for trying to curl in a beauty says it all. This is one of the many free-kicks Beckham bent home for Manchester United from about 25 yards out in his time.

Thierry Henry v Wigan in 2005 (Richards: 6th, Shearer: 6th)

Henry has hands on his hips, shrugs his shoulders as he is told where to place the ball for this free-kick for Arsenal against Wigan. It's a long way out, but not too far for the Frenchman. He goes up and over the wall and sees the ball home off the inside of the post. He celebrates by nodding at the referee and asks "is that enough?".

Elano v Newcastle in 2007 (Richards: 5th, Shearer 7th)

With four delicate steps up to the ball, Elano let rip with a free-kick that was rising all the way until it bulged the back of the net. This strike against Newcastle was the Brazilian's first goal for Manchester City and a heck of a way to open his account in the English game.

Steven Gerrard v Newcastle in 2007 (Richards: 4th, Shearer: 10th)

With a step, a stutter and one mighty swing of the boot, Gerrard stunned Newcastle fans into silence at St James' Park in 2007. This is how an apparent mix-up in a set-piece routine finds itself on our top 10 list.
