Edgar Davids
Palace appearances: 7 (0)
Netherlands caps: 74 (6)
While his playing spells at Crystal Palace - and later Barnet - were inauspicious, there is no getting away from the fact that Edgar Davids will go down as one of the finest midfielders of his generation.
His career lists some of the biggest European clubs: Ajax, AC Milan, Juventus, Barcelona and Inter Milan, while his 74 appearances for the Netherlands came alongside a remarkable generation.
At Ajax he won the Champions League in 1995, while he reached the semi-finals of the 1998 World Cup, Euro 2000 and Euro 2004.
Featuring alongside the likes of Dennis Bergkamp, Clarence Seedorf, Jaap Stam, Edwin van der Sar, Marc Overmars, Patrick Kluivert and Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink, it will go down as one of the finest Dutch cohorts ever produced.
