10. JI-SUNG PARK, Manchester United

There was once a school of thought that Ji-Sung Park is a vastly overrated player who was only signed by Manchester United to sell shirts in Asia.

Thankfully many pupils have graduated from said school during Park’s five years in English football, but while the semi-jingoistic sneering has subsided over the years, Park is still not fully given the credit he deserves.

We all know Park is hard-working, agile and athletic, but the South Korean is also extremely tactically astute - the reason Sir Alex Ferguson often calls him up for United’s big games in both the Premier League and Europe. Of Park’s 17 goals for United, over one third have come against either Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool or in the Champions League.

9. SEBASTIAN LARSSON, Birmingham City

Once on the books at Arsenal, Sebastian Larsson boasts all the technical qualities and skill Arsene Wenger tends to look for in his players. The Swede is also an excellent dead-ball specialist.

Blues boss Alex McLeish is clearly a fan. "Seb doesn't have to beat a man. He can get the ball around an opponent with his terrific curl on the ball.”

When it comes to free-kicks and corners there are few better in the league than Larsson. Now in the final year of his contract, there will undoubtedly be several takers should the 25-year-old choose to leave St. Andrews on a Bosman.
