Jamie O’Hara has dismissed Jason Cundy’s claim that Kevin De Bruyne is the greatest midfielder in Premier League history and instead insists that Steven Gerrard holds that title.
The talkSPORT pundit explained that the former Liverpool captain was “on another planet to any other player” he faced during his career.
The current Aston Villa manager won every major trophy possible, bar the Premier League, during his time at the Reds and is recognized by many as the greatest player in the club’s history.

We certainly agree that De Bruyne is a world-class player and probably the best in the English top flight at the moment and it would have been exciting to see the City star take on our former No. 8.
Gerrard had the ability to single-handedly change games and was a true ‘all-rounder’.
He could score all kinds of goals and no matter what position he played on the pitch, you always knew what you were going to get from the Academy graduate.
