Paul Scholes
While people were arguing about whether Gerrard or Lampard was better, Scholes just got on with the business of winning more trophies than either man.
The one-club man picked up 11 Premier League crowns, three FA Cups and two Champions Leagues in his career—amidst a whole host of other honours with Manchester United.
Despite being considered one of the finest central midfielders of his generation, it was Scholes who was shunted out to the left flank as Sven-Goran Eriksson looked to accommodate Gerrard and Lampard in the heart of midfield.
