Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey, James Maw and Nick Miller compile a line-up of players whose Premier League legacies are overwhelmingly based around one very specific thing: a defining moment, a unique skill set, a silly goal celebration or a catastrophic mistake.
Does Massimo Taibi get the nod in goal? Has Ben Thatcher elbowed his way into contention? Should we choose Mario Stanic or Lilian Nalis? And is there really anything new left to say about Ali Dia?
