10 Premier League greats you've probably forgotten

#3 Henning Berg

Not many players can say they won the Premier League with two different clubs and usually the ones that can are well-remembered and considered EPL legends. That’s why it’s so odd that Norwegian defender Henning Berg is usually overlooked in any discussions about classic Premier League players.

Berg was an ever-present in the Blackburn Rovers side that won the league in 1994/95 – missing just two games throughout – and while Rovers slipped down the table in the following two seasons, Berg remained one of their more consistent players, forming a solid partnership with Scottish legend Colin Hendry at the heart of Blackburn’s defence.

His form was enough for Manchester United to sign him in the summer of 1997 for a then-British record fee for a defender, £5m. Berg was first-choice throughout his first season at United, but didn’t play quite so much in 1998/99 – the season United won the treble of the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League. This meant he was the first player to win the league with two different clubs – a title he held alone until 2010.

1999/2000 saw Berg regain his place in United’s defence, and he remained one of the Premier League’s most solid defenders even as he moved back to Blackburn for the start of 2000/01. The other names to have won the league with two different sides – Cole, Anelka, Clichy, Toure, Tevez and Huth – are all well-remembered, and really, Berg should be too.
