2. Steven Gerrard – Liverpool
Assists: 99
Just one shy of a century, that so far elusive 100th assist will likely come sooner rather than later as Gerrard has proved that even though he is 34 he hasn’t lost any of the old magic. He has of course clocked himself a number of goals too, but for every howitzer he’s rocketed past an opposition goalkeeper he’s laid one on for someone else too.
