Thursday 5th February 2026 | The definitive Premier League legends tier list.

Seb, Toby and Rory finally tackle the big one: ranking the 40 greatest Premier League players across five tiers from "Why You Here" to the Goat Debate. With 260 goals making Shearer an icon, Ashley Cole staking his claim as the greatest full-back ever, and Henry vs Ronaldo for the ultimate crown, the boys leave no legend unranked. Expect controversial takes, age gap debates, and a final verdict that might just settle it once and for all.
