Player Valuation: £35m
Undoubtedly all great players, not sure on some of the ordering though. Oh, and no place for Big Nev either, despite there being several goalies included :dodgy:

Yeah, my bad. I started the thread at the beginning and listed people as I flicked through the gallery. Not the wisest thread title.

Also, you saying Seaman was better than Nev?

Shearer was much better player than Rooney.
 

Never saw Nev in his prime, so I couldn't really give a fair view on the debate but even in 95 when he was arguably past it, he almost single handedly won us the cup final.
 
Gazza at number 8? I mean, he was brilliantly talented, but when you look back at his career does he deserve to be ahead of, (lets say, for example) Ball, Rooney and Giggs?
