From Adel Tarrabt to Michu, there have been some unbelievable streets will never forget ballers over the years. Who takes the crown?

    For me its Hleb or Ben Arfa. Also i think you spelled Adel’s last name incorrect but im not sure enough on how to spell it. Google says its Taarabt.

    Wilshere. I truly believe if it wasn’t for his injuries he would be a top-midfielder. Maybe not the same calibre as Stevie, Frank or Scholesy. But damn, when he was fit and on point he was really, really good. And that’s coming from a United fan.

    Don’t know about best, but Mousa Dembele would be the submission from Spurs in the last several years. Everyone from that stacked Belgium squad from 2016-2018 or so seemed to all feel that Dembele was the best player they’d played alongside.

        He gets tons of praise from his teammates because I’m sure he bossed them in short sided games and other training drills. But yeah, the end product was often lacking in actual matches.

          Which is why the team was basically built around him. He’d win the ball back, beat the press, then hand it off to Eriksen who would orchestrate the attack.

        Yeah in a way he was a nice emblem of those late 2010s Spurs teams - awesome to watch 90% of the time but always a bit lacking in the finish.

        If he had an eye for an incisive final ball he’d probably have been playing for Madrid.

      Came here to say this. Literally everyone who has played on the same team as him speak about him with reverence. One of the most under appreciated ballers and the definition of “press resistant” before that term became hip

    Dunno if he s “street will never forget” or just “normally never forget” player, but Aaron Ramsey for me

    His whole horror injury, the goal/celebrity death ratio all makes him a fun one to remember

      Ramsey is almost too good for this list. His clutch FA Cup final goals alone guarrantee more than the streets will remember him.

      That season for Swansea is unforgettable, especially when you take into account his career nosediving afterwards.

    Dmitri Payet being the most exciting player every single week for like 18 months.

    Michu’s half season was the most amazing hot stretch.

    Otherwise, I just want to name some random ass people who were amazing for a second. Adnan Januzaj carrying Man United. Ravel Morrison being a legend for 15 minutes. Papiss Cisse’s brace vs Chelsea was the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen

      Biased, but Payet is my answer for sure. His free kick against Crystal Palace still hurts my brain every time I watch it. What a player he was!

    Papiss Cisse for those six months he was untouchable and the goal against Chelsea against a keeper like Cech will never be recreated.
