3. He Has Won The Premier League Five Times, And The Champions League Twice
Only seven current players in the Premier League have won the title five times, Wes Brown is one of those players. An even more impressive stat is that only three current Premier League players have won the Champions League more than once Samuel Eto'o, Ryan Giggs and, you guessed it, Wes Brown. If you are looking for an well experienced player still with enough talent, surely there can't be many better in England than Brown, giving Sunderland a glimmer of hope in regards to maintaining their top flight status. One way of looking at it, is that the former Manchester United defender is the most decorated English footballer still playing, and if you don't want him in your team, then you need to sit down and think about if you can do your job properly.
