Premier League's 5 greatest players in last 25 years

#4 Steven Gerrard

Gerrard could not win the Premier League title in his 18-year long association with Liverpool, but did enough during his career to secure a place in Premier League’s hall of fame. He remained one of the best midfielders of his generation.

Gerrard was primarily a box-to-box midfielder, but could play in a purely defensive role or as a side midfielder. He had a very powerful shot on him, and scored quite a few goals with scorching shots. He was also a great leader and had a powerful presence on the pitch.

Gerrard captained Liverpool for a majority of his career and was looked up to by most of his teammates. He scored 120 goals in 504 league matches for the Reds and left the club in 2015.
