One of them is Kyle Walker, who Gary Neville believes is the best right-back in Premier League history.

Simon Jordan was told to ‘f*** off’ by Chelsea when he tried to poach John Terry for Crystal Palace. The talkSPORT host purchased his beloved Eagles in 2000 and was keen to snap up the Blues legend as one of his first signings. Terry at the time had only played 16 times for the west London outfit across two seasons, and had spent part of the 1999/2000 campaign on loan at Nottingham Forest. He had featured in just six matches in the now-Championship division with the Reds, but that was enough to convince Jordan that the then-19-year-old was good enough.…
