Premier League’s best players named

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has beaten Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas to be named the Premier League’s best player.

In a poll conducted by Zoo Magazine, the England star received an impressive 21 per cent of votes with Fabregas in second place with 14 per cent.

Man City’s fiery striker Carlos Tevez came third on 13 per cent, followed by Gareth Bale and Samir Nasri with 12 and 11 per cent respectively.

Making up the list were Spurs’ Rafael van der Vaart, Man United stars Nemanja Vidic, Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes, Spurs’ Luka Modric and Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard.

Manchester United’s veteran midfielder Ryan Giggs was the player most fans would like to have  a drink with while the controversial El Hadji Diouf beat the recently retired Gary Neville to the crown of footballer fans would least like a pint with.

Liverpool have the best fans ahead of Newcastle United and Man United while Spurs would be the team football fans would support after their favourite team.
