Yaya Toure

Any City fan would know that the Ivorian international is well-deserving of a place on this list, with the player’s unique attributes making him one of the most dominant midfielders of his generation.


Toure’s physical stature meant he was an imposing figure for opponents, but he had the technical ability to match. 79 goals and 50 assists in just 316 appearances demonstrate a player who was integral, as City won three Premier League titles during his eight years in England.
