talkSPORT fans voted Gerrard the Premier League's centre midfield king
1. Steven Gerrard (36% of the vote)
We say: A colossus of the Premier League, Steven Gerrard was a clear winner in our vote for the best central midfielder since 1992. Critics will say he's never won the Premier League title, but perhaps the most impressive thing about Gerrard is the fact he has attained such a high level without playing in a title-winning team. No one player has carried a team as much as Gerrard has at Liverpool and, although it may be heresy to say it, he would have stacks of title medals if he'd been at Man United in the past decade.
2. ROY KEANE (23%)
We say: If one player embodied the winning spirit of Alex Ferguson on the pitch, it was Roy Keane. His ferocious competitive spirit drove United on for a decade and his ferocious tackling won many a midfield battle. His tunnel confrontation with Arsenal's Patrick Vieira summed up the man: a determination never to be bowed by the opposition. Keane could play a bit, too!
3. PAUL SCHOLES (22%)
We say: You do not remain at the heart of Alex Ferguson's Man United team for 15 years without being special and that's exactly what Paul Scholes was. The ginger prince could control a game with his astute passing and score crucial goals when needed. In the words of a certain Zinedine Zidane: “He is the complete midfielder.”
4. PATRICK VIEIRA (9%)
We say: Formed a great partnership with Emmanuel Petit to challenge the dominance of Roy Keane and Paul Scholes at Man United, going through to skipper the unbeaten Arsenal team of 2003/04. A fierce competitor who glided across the park.
5. Frank Lampard (4%)
We say: The highest scoring central midfielder in the Premier League era, Lampard's worth his weight – even though he really isn't fat – in goals.
6. CESC FABREGAS (2%)
We say: A Premier League veteran at the age of just 24, Fabregas made his first Premier League appearance in 2004 and was one of the best players in the division while still in his teens. Barcelona don't covet him for nothing.
If you look at all the of candidates Gerrard scores goals like Lampard, passes like Scholes, has the power of Viera and tackles like Keane!!
