A Real Football Fan Can Name These Premier League Legends. Can You?

The Premier League has become one of the most entertaining and popular leagues in world football since its launch back in 1992, with it now viewed as being the place for many soccer stars to ply their trade.

Since the old English First Division was rebranded in '92, the league has become a cash cow for the teams lucky enough to be involved in it. TV rights and sponsorship deals have been plentiful and excessive, and that's in turn led to the Premier League teams being able to attract - or keep hold of! - some of the greatest players on the planet over the past 25 years.

As with any league or sport, the Premier League has seen its fair share of legends grace its ranks, with some players becoming icons of their respective clubs, while other stars have been so undeniably great at what they do that even their rivals can't help but applaud from a far.
