Summary
The Athletic's Adam Hurrey is joined by Charlie Eccleshare and James Maw for a journey deep into the ego of the Premier League. After 30 years of its self-declaration as the greatest - and hardest - league in the world, with its own physical, psychological and moral standards, the panel compile a lineup of players who have been tested the most by the Premier League's unique demands.
From a symbolic, save-shy goalkeeper to tormented World Cup winners, forlorn figures, divers, spitters, showboaters and slowcoaches, these 11 players have had the most uncomfortable welcomes to the Premier League.
