6. Jack Colback
Played for Newcastle: 2014-Present Position: Centre Midfielder League Appearances: 38 League goals: 4 Remove the fact that Jack Colback has played for Sunderland and he's a prime example of what Newcastle United fans want to see from all their players. The 25-year-old has quickly became admired by supporters for his endless running and fearless tackling. Despite Newcastle not always playing the best football no one can question Colback's work-rate and he is by far the most dogged player in the Magpies' team this current season. Last season the midfielder placed third in the Premier League's '15 Hardest Working Midfielders List' beating the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Christian Eriksen. Colback was averaged to run 11.658km per Premier League game and was only beaten by Chelsea's Nemanja Matic and perhaps the unlikely winner, Burnley's George Boyd.
