Soccer: Good Players who won nothing and Bad Players who won alot!

Don't know if this was done before but i was wondering if anyone can think of 'Great' Players out there who won nothing (or very minor honours), and vice versa - a 'Shite' player who ended up by fortune on great teams and won many (coveted) honours!

Mat Le Tissier

Nothing - Shay Given, so far.

Alot - Traroe, David May and Ryan Giggs

Robbie Keane for his qualities as a player has won little

Stevie Gerrard one of the best midfielders never to have won an English league medal.

Great United players without League Medals

McGrath
McIlroy
Moran
Whiteside

Jordan
Stapleton

There are a queue of them over that 26 year period!

Yeah yeah, but does anyone give a shite?

Sure some people think your not a great player unless you won something

The most obvious would be Matt Le Tissier and Alan Shearer.
John Aldridge won very little too,he won a League cup with Oxford plus a couple of promotions with them and then he only won 1 league title and 1 FA Cup with Liverpool.

Gary Neville with nearly 100 England Caps and got knows how many United appearances is a 'bad' player? Good one. LeBoeuf won a few trophies did he not?

I think Joe Jordan has a league medal.

Very true. The first division championship is always a possibility....

He also won You're A Star for that wonderful singing voice of his

Gazza won feck all and was an extremely talented.

The Jimi won lot, David May, LeBeouf probaby a few others.
