Series 3: 8. Unsung Heroes



Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards debate the understated but consistently excellent players of the Premier League era.\n\nPremier League record appearance holder Gareth Barry and Liverpool’s James Milner are among those who epitomise the unsung hero: talented, reliable but rarely in the headlines. Ray Parlour of Arsenal and Manchester United pair Nicky Butt and Michael Carrick were also quietly effective for their clubs over a long period of time. But will any of them be chosen as the unanimous number one in this category?\n
