Your favourite players (not scousers)

Who have been your favourite players in the Premier League/1st Division (apart from liverpool players please)
My favourite nongooners have been Stevie G and Matthew Le Tissier . I'd be very interested to hear all of your opinins

First player that springs to mind is Michael Essien.

In the past, Bergkamp.

It's hard to pick but one of mine would be Arshavin.

Thierry Henry is one.

Thierry Henry is one.

Indeed. Also Patrick Vieira in his best days - he was a joy to watch.

Some players you're just grateful that you've been graced with.

Dennis Bergkamp WK 1998 (Dutch commentary; Jack van Gelder)

I used to like watching Chelsea play, due to Zola and Poyet. Wonderful football they play during that time.

Henry was just great to watch. everything was so simple for him to do, seems to have lost it now mind.

Lionel Messi.

Duh!

EDIT: What an idiot i am. But yeah, he's that good i don't care if i made a mistake.

Am i allowed to say John Barnes?

Hate to say it, but there's been times/glimpses where I've wished Drogba was a likeable human being so I could basque in his brilliance.

In the past, Bergkamp.

Yep me too mate, a joy to watch.

Can't disagree there. Never scored a sh*te goal. Seemed to score easier from outside the box, too. Amazing player.

Bergkamp, hands down genius and a good fella too.

Thierry Henry in his prime was spot on his days at Arse were his best, gone off the boil since he joined Barcelona it seems Wenger did the right thing selling when he did.

At the risk of sounding like a manc. Roy Keane and Eric Cantona

Steady on mate.

Cheesiest advert i've seen!

I used to like Freddie Ljunberg, reckon he was a really good player when he went through the years with the pink stripe through his hair.

Craig Gordon for me, Scottish, from Edinburgh, and was singed from Heart Of Midlothian

Tevez and Messi.

Messi is just in a class by himself. Hes a freak. I think Barca made him in a lab or something.

Thierry Henry for me.

great to read all your opinions so far and it seems the is a fair bit of appreciation for gooners so far . from my experience at anfield last year for that amazing 4 - 4 draw , drinkin in the arkles before and after the game there is a mutual respect for our teams . scousers and gooners do get along and i think we are united by a hatred for the mancs 

McMannaman was another of my favourite non gooners

Is right mate. Sounds like that day left a good impression on you.

I shall answer the title in question.

Your favourite players (not scousers)

Emlyn Hughes. Graeme Souness. Kenny Dalglish. Jan Molby. (Technically) Ian Rush and John Aldridge. Alan Hansen, etc.

Should be in the Kop this. I'm the master at finding loop-holes.

Zola hands down...

More gooners i like are Tony Adams, David Seaman and Marc Overmars.

I used to like Freddie Ljunberg, reckon he was a really good player when he went through the years with the pink stripe through his hair.

Plying his trade not far from where i am, up north a bit in Seattle. Might go up for a game, if i can afford it

More gooners I like are Tony Adams, David Seaman and Marc Overmars.

"Seaman's running out of the box!"



Quality he was though, same with Adam's. Liked Henry, and Bergkamp as well. Fabregas is a player i love to watch as well, Arshavin too. Seems to be mostly gooners!

I liked Freddy Ljungberg a lot too.

And Lee Dixon.

Jimmy Bullard is such a hound.

Love it! If were being that specific then Torres it is..

PEPE REINA!

Zola hands down...

Great shout that, the only Chelsea player I've seen get a full ovation at Anfield when he was subbed in his last away performance.

Cracking player, with bags of talent and very down to earth.

Henry at Arsenal at Highbury was just pure class
Messi current
Tevez current
Bobby Zamora is a great player
I love Fulham football club as my 2nd favourite club as they are such a great side from nothing. Still remember to this day where they won against Man Utd and came up that season.
Hangeland is a great player or becoming
Arshavin is just a russian built from Nuclear waste and to score 4 at Anfield is mad.

Theres a few of mine ha

I forgot about Diouf.

Quality player, top professional.

i see CRK has found a flaw in the title of my question . it should be "Your favourite players (not former/current liverpool players)" 

i have a few more and please forgive me for mentioning their names here - Cantona , Giggs and Keane

I forgot about Diouf.

Quality player, top professional.

Oh and Michael Owen :p

Andrey Arshavin. Amazing little talent, just think we could have got him for £15m but instead we got Keane for £20m! His laugh is amazing!

Team mates Arshavin

Rigobert Song.

Lionel Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Xabi Alonso and Xavi Hernandez.

Titi Camara.

Thierry Henry is one.

Cheating tw*t

Gonzalo Higuain!

Damien Duff, Shay Given, Cesc Fabregas, Messi, Xavi, Milner are my current crop of fav players....

I like Henry. He was devastating at Highbury. Seemed like a nice guy too.

Alot of players I actually like to be honest.

Xavi Hernandez, Xabi Alonso, Cesc Fabregas, Lionel Messi as mentioned in my previous post here.

Damien Duff, James Milner, Thierry Henry, Michael Essien, Joe Cole are a few others I rate.

Giggs and Scholes were and still are fantastic players, Henry has been one of the best strikers ever to grace the prem.

Outside of England there are too many to mention, I've always been quite partial to the likes of, Totti, Nedved, Xavi, Zizou, the original Ronaldo and Del Piero.

Henry Nice guy my F***ing hole he fu**ed off his wife and child for some other tart, and he cheated Ireland out of a World Cup. A F***ing cheat is what he is.

Alan Shearer, Matt Le Tis, Beckham are a few I can think of from the past (note: PAST David ).

EDIT: Forgot Roberto Carlos

Bergkamp pure football class/ Alan shearer one of the best strikers and he fcked off old whiskey nose.

sorry, but Mikel Arteta is a class act

I Agree Mikel Arteta for me would love to see him at Anfield.

^ Yeah, Dennis Bergkamp was class. Still wonder how he scored that goal against Newcastle!

Ronaldinho in his prime was enjoyable to watch as well.

Ronaldo ? Anyone the Brazillian

I Agree Mikel Arteta for me would love to see him at Anfield.

It's funny because I used to follow a bit of Scottish football and he was average at Rangers....maybe it's because he's now playing in an inferior league - on the subject, my name-sake Henrik Larsson was a player. Off the top of my head, a few more from left-field would be Fernando Redondo, Stefan Effenberg, Pep Guardiola (great player in his day), Edgar Davids (the glases made me laugh), Rivaldo, Marc Overmars, Vieira...... I could go on

Yes Larsson was great I seen him a few times play against Hearts years ago never stopped Scoring Arteta was an Average player in Scotland so was Soto?. and for Danny Wilson the Rangers centre half who liverpool were after I hope we cool our intrests Scottish Football make him look good he is Everton ? = Sh*t

Robert Snodgrass ? Leeds

Yes Larsson was grate I seen him a few times play against Hearts years ago never stoped Scoring Arteta was an Average player in Scotland so was Soto?.

From what I remember 'Average' would be putting it nicely.
I'll eat my words, I predicted Soto to be "a donkey" I think were my words - he's been very solid

Javier Zanetti.

Also Wesley Sneijder for me. His performance in the Euro 2008 tournamet was quality until Russia knocked them out.

Total F***ing loon is what Stefan was, good midfielder though.

Still think one of the best non-Liverpool playing midfielders I've ever seen is Lothar Matthaus, now what a F***ing player he was!

Thought we was on about the prem not world wide ,if we talking world wide then in no particular order Zidane, Ronaldo the proper one ,Ronaldinho,Maradonna awsome quartet that.

Fernando Redondo, great shout.

Best defensive midfielder in world football history.

In the Prem: Arteta, Fabregas, Lennon, Walcott, my fellow yanks Dempsey and Timmy Howard, and Milner.

I miss that sawn off little f**ker - Dennis Wise . He was crazy . Angriest little man you will ever see .

and Graham La Saux

Juan Roman Riquelme. One of the best around.

Dempsey, Thiery Henry, Zidane (retired) bur still worth mentioning. Brad Friedel, Lionel Mesi..pure class. Xabi Alonso.

Last and controversial, especially on this site.  Christiano Ronaldo.  He might be a bit if a show off and cocky. But when he is on, he is great to watch,  Regardless of club colors, I'll give just dues to anyone I enjoy watching,

And I cant forget the guy who got me into the love of football...Pele.  Such an Icon and Ambassador for football.

Hate:   Maradonna...fat, coke addicted cocksucker who cheated most of his career, Miserable c**t,

My man.

And so do taxi-drivers everywhere.

Shearer, Henry, Gary Neville (only joking)

Ever since arshavin came to arsenal been a huge fan

Diego Milito is becoming one of my favorites quickly.

Arshavin for me
if Stevie G never became a footballer Arshavin would be my fav player

Ever since arshavin came to arsenal been a huge fan

Surely Arshavin has been prevalent at Arsenal since Ashley Cole's days there?

1. Lionel Messi
2. Dennis Bergkamp
3. Joe Cole
4. Xabi Alonso
5. Salomon Kalou

I'm looking through the previous page and thinking where's Dalglish and Rush and thought I bet Joey will go for Kenny!! and was I wrong was I sh*te.
Aldridge is as scouse as you an me mate I used to see him fishing at a pond I used to go to, sound lad. I know he is technically Irish.

Fellinni, Snodgrass, and Messi.
