Among those in the running for the greatest unsung hero are Tim Sherwood, James Milner, and Nicky Butt.
The Premier League has had a lot of superstars, but what about the lesser-known ones?
Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards are on the Match of the Day Top 10.
Let's give some of these players a chance.
You can rank yours at the bottom of the page if you listen to the podcast on the radio.
Match of the Day has a list of the greatest unsung heroes.
N'Golo Kante was 3rd and Richards was 10th.
The Frenchman has made the defensive position his own since moving to the premier league. He was a crucial part of the title winning team in the first season and then again in the next. He has contributed to all of the wins from his time at the club, including four FA Cups, a Europa League and a win in the European Championship.
Kante is sung all the way from the terraces. He shouldn't be on the list. Everybody sings whenever someone mentions the name of the player. Who is the best player at the club? You will say Kante. He is topnotch.
Shearer would agree with everything you have said. He is on the list. He is not at the top because of his appearances. He is the best on the list. He has won the World Cup, the FA Cup, and the European Championship.
He is quiet and shy and smiles all the time, which is why he is on the list. He should be in the top 10. He is the best player on the list, but that is not the same as being the best. He would improve any team on the planet.
Tim Cahill and Richards were both in the 10th.
When they bought him from Millwall, they paid just £1.5m for him. The biggest weapon of the central-midfielder was his ability to time runs into the box. It helped him score 56 goals in 226 appearances in the premier league, some of which came as a makeshift centre forward.
Shearer is from Millwall. He did a great job, more than what was expected of him.
He used to score against me. He wasn't that tall, but his timing was brilliant. He's not at that level when you mention top strikers. He's an under-recognized hero for what he did for an improvingEverton.
TheShearer: 7th. Richards: 7th
It was hard to miss Ivanovic on the football field because he was built like a brick outhouse and never afraid to get stuck in. His consistency of performance was his most important quality and it meant that the right side of the defence was taken care of for many seasons. He won the title three times. He had a short time at West Brom last season, but the less said about it the better.
He was top-notch. He could do anything, three at the back and four at the back. He could move forward. He was strong and had a tough mentality.
You don't think of Ivanovic when you think of the club. He was reliable. He was good technically, but people think he was just big and strong.
Shearer said he was reliable. That is a common theme. Someone that's reliable is what every manager craves. It's great to have.
TheShearer: 7th. Richards: 7th
It's odd that Keane is a centre forward on this list. During his time with a number of clubs, the Irishman acted as the foil to a more well-known front man. He scored 91 goals in 238 appearances for Spurs, the majority of his career. The League Cup was the only trophy he had to show for.
I think Jermain Defoe got more credit. He didn't play much when he was young at Inter Milan. He had some great transfer moves while at Leeds. I was never scared of playing against him, I played against him.
I think strikers should not be on this list, but I think Defoe could be. We get all the glory. You score the winning goal.
Shearer has strikers 10 and nine on here.
Ray Parlour was 5th, Richards was 8th.
Ray Parlour was vital to the team in the 1990s and early 2000s, even though he wasn't as skilled or as fast as other players. He played in the majority of the games for the Gunners, chipping in with vital goals and constant movement. His ability is demonstrated by his four FA Cups. He was with Hull and Middlesbrough.
Richards said that he was technically outstanding. What was he called? The Romford man. He was a nice footballer and a geezer. He did not get the credit. He played in some great teams and was better than what people thought. You mention the great players first and then Ray Parlour.
Barry and Richards were both in the 8th and 2nd places.
Barry was as reliable as it comes in defence or the middle of the field. After 11 years at first club, he finally got himself some medals after joining Manchester City, where he played a big role in their first title win. He played well into his late 30s at West Brom and then atEverton.
Shearer: I know that he won the premier league at City and that he was Mr Reliable, Mr Dependable. There was nothing spectacular about him. He did a job every week. The others on the list have probably won more.
Richards would go against that in a spectacular way. The other player would shy away from the ball when it was given to him by Garth Barry. When you talk about Man City winning the league, you talk about Silva, Aguero and Tevez. But the missing piece was the man, Gareth Barry.
Tim Sherwood was 6th and Richards was 4th.
After cutting his teeth at two other teams, Midfielder Sherwood joined upwardly mobile Blackburn in 1992 and his career would really take off after that. He and David Batty would form a title-winning central-midfield in 1994. He became the manager of Spurs after making over 200 appearances for them in the premier league.
Shearer knows how good Tim was, and that's why he's higher than Gareth.
Do you think Tim Sherwood was a better player than Barry?
He was outstanding when I played with him. So yes. He was our captain when we won the league. He probably didn't get the credit he deserved because it was myself and Sutton who scored the goals. Colin and Tim may have gotten a lot of credit for how they played.
He was called chocolate at Villa. He loved himself. He was a great manager and I loved working with him. He was the best manger. He was honest and great.
Richards: 6th,Shearer: 4th.
Butt was vital to the success of Manchester United from the mid-90s through the early 2000s. Butt made 270 appearances for the most successful side of the time, chipping in with 21 goals. He would add another 134 games to his tally while he was atNewcastle, before he went to China.
He was a member of the Class of 92. He would have been overlooked because he emerged as part of that group of players. He was a great player in the middle.
Shearer was in the park. He was very tough to play against. He won a lot. I have him at four because of that.
Richards: 3rd,Shearer: 2nd, Michael Carrick: 2nd.
Another former Manchester United central player went about his job quietly. It was his vision and passing that made him stand out. He began at West Ham and then moved to Spurs, but he flourished at Old Trafford. He won the FA Cup and the Premier League five times for Manchester United. He is the interim manager at United.
He was a great player. He was a really good player.
Should he have more players for England?
Richards: Yes. Absolutely. He would have been great if he had played in the Spanish side. Everyone was scared to get on the ball because they didn't want to be in the News of the World on the Sunday after the game.
Shearer thought he should have gotten more. I liked him a lot. He was one of the best at handing the ball.
James Milner was the 1st.
The hero. It wasn't always the case. As a 16-year-old, Milner became the youngest player to score in the premier league. He was a skillful winger before he became a centralMidfielder with Manchester City. He picked up two league title winners medals. He is a true utility man, willing and able to play wherever he is needed, all with the minimum of fuss.
It's ridiculous that he went toLiverpool and won the league after being deemed not good enough for Man City. What a guy.
Lineker apologized to him. I used to use the phrase "I'm not sure what James Milner is" in a few years ago. He is an unbelievable professional who will play anywhere for you. He has been consistent.
Shearer was with him when he was young. He has achieved what he has in the game because he has the same attitude that he did then. He is a manager's dream and he will probably never be late. He would do a job for you if you put him on the pitch. Wherever you asked him to play, he would be a seven out of 10. He is always great to have in the dressing room. I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with a coaching role with the club. If he goes down that route, then the team will do well.
