TOP TEN IN DETAIL
10: Peter Schmeichel - Brondby to Man Utd, £500,000 No 10: The Great Dane - captured brilliantly above by Sportsmail's Andy Hooper - is arguably the Premier League's finest goalkeeper, and one of the best imports into the English game
9: Alan Shearer - Southampton to Blackburn, £3.3million8: Roy Keane - Cobh Ramblers to Nottingham Forest, £47,000 No 9: Alan 'chicken and beans' Shearer formed half of the deadly 49-goal SAS partnership with Chris Sutton that fired Jack Walker's Blackburn Rovers to Premiership glory in 1995
No 8: Brian Clough pounced for this fresh-faced 'young man' in 1990. The Irishman would go on to become the driving force of Manchester United following a £3.75m move to Old Trafford three years later
7: Patrick Vieira - AC Milan to Arsenal, £3.5m No 7: The elegant, but spiky when necessary Vieira was rescued from AC Milan's reserves by Arsene Wenger in September 1996. The Senegalese-born French international became the fulcrum of the Gunners' midfield, and a crucial cog of 2004's 'Invincibles'.
6: Ian Wright - Greenwich Borough to Crystal Palace, free5: Kevin Keegan - Scunthorpe to Liverpool, £35,000 No 6: The ebullient Wright was named Crystal Palace's Player of the Century after scoring 117 goals in 277 appearances
No 5: Keegan spent a trophy-laden six seasons at Anfield, winning three First Division titles, two UEFA Cups, two FA Cups and the European Cup
4: Nicolas Anelka - PSG to Arsenal, £500,000 No 4: In one the most lucrative transfers of all-time, in February 1997, Anelka was plucked from PSG as a 17-year-old whippersnapper. A shake of Arsene Wenger's wand later, and Le Sulk had notched 28 goals in 90 appearances - with a League title and an FA CUp wiunners' medal thrown in for good measure - before departing Highbury for Real Madrid two years later in a move worth around £22million
3: Thierry Henry - Juventus to Arsenal, £10.5m No 3: Henry joined Arsenal from Juventus in 1999 and in the next eight years proved to be one of the greatest players to have ever graced English football, breaking Cliff Bastin's record to become Arsenal's highest ever goalscorer and helping the Gunners to two league titles and three FA Cups
2: Ian Rush - Chester to Liverpool £200,000 No 2: The sinewy Welshman matched lively anticipation with a deadly poacher's instinct and lethal finishing, and stands as Liverpool's all-time top scorer with 346 goals in 660 appearances, collated over his two spells at Anfield
1: Eric Cantona - Leeds to Manchester United, £1.2m No 1: Manchester United shocked football when they signed Cantona from Leeds in 1992, and it has proved to one of the defining moments of Sir Alex Ferguson's extraordinary era at the club. Cantona became a legend at United, with a host of unforgettable performances and goals helping the club to four league titles in five seasons. He also fired a dramatic winner against Liverpool in 1996 to win the FA Cup final at Wembley, and a second double in three seasons. He even retired in dramatic fashion in 1997 - the Frenchman left behind some fantastic memories.
