#4 Robert Huth (Chelsea, Middlesbrough, Stoke City, Leicester City)
Trending
Having joined Claudio Ranieri’s Chelsea as a teenager in 2002, Robert Huth has now spent almost 15 years in England and holds the German record for the highest Premier League appearances with 311 appearances over the years.
While the German won consecutive Premier League winners medal with Chelsea in 2004-05 and 2005-06, he was largely used in a bit part capacity. However, his latest Premier League medal must mean the world for the defender as Huth played a pivotal role in Leicester City’s shocking, yet incredibly wonderful Premier League title win in 2015-16.
Huth featured in 35 of his side’s 38 games and kept his side in the hunt with his fair share of important tackles, interceptions blocks and clearances (a few shirt tugs cannot be ignored).
The presence of several other quality defenders in the German set up meant that Huth did not feature as many times as he would have wanted to for the German national team and has won 19 caps with them, the last of which came in 2009.
