I guess what makes players iconic is that they are of immense quality, with an infamous nasty/naughty streak to their game.

1) Thierry Henry
2) David Beckham
3) Peter Schmeichel
4) Alan Shearer
5) Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Strong Man United presence, and that's not even considering Eric Cantona, Scholes, Giggs and van der Sar.

As for the actual question, Gianfranco Zola could be considered iconic despite only being in England for a bit.

Basically an icon is just someone who is a representative symbol of their club/the league.

Gerrard and Suarez do that for Liverpool and I think Carroll does too, even if it's for the wrong reasons.

Another worthy mention.

I can see why so many people support United now. Sad

Van Nistelrooy could never be in there, he only stayed at United for 5 years and only won one Premier League. The likes of Lampard, Gerrard, Owen, Cantona, Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Neville, Schmeichel, Shearer, Ronaldo, Rooney, they'd all be ahead of him.

Vieira and Roy Keane are easily icons as well.

Iconic players for all the wrong reasons.

Titus Bramble.
Andy Carroll.
Shola Ameobi.
Emile Heskey.
Luis Suarez.

I like how Luiz Suarez has the talent of all those 4 added together, multiplied by 2.

Yes, but his extra cancha antics get more attention than his footballing ability.

Also can't believe I forgot about Torres, and Joey Barton.

Ed wrote:Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish this week labelled his triumvirate of Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll as ‘iconic’ – is he right?

Kenny Dalglish wrote:The more any team gets iconic players like they are on the pitch the better chance they have of being successful. But we have got more than three players.

Of course not, andy carroll is a massive flop, how could he be an icon? But the other two are an interesting talking point. Although suarez hasnt played in the premier league for long, he has put his stake in liverpool history as a great striker, but still does this make him an icon? Whereas Gerrard is an icon, there is not much doubt in that.

I think he is using the term loosely...

Also Suarez as of now is not considered a great at Liverpool!
