The Barclaysmen trend focused on highlighting players who might not have been the most prominent figures in the Premier League during the 2000s and 2010s but still made a significant impact for various reasons.

These could include their distinctive celebration styles, memorable goals, association with iconic clubs, and other notable contributions.
