Sylvain Distin
France · Defender
Sylvain Distin was one of the Premier League's most durable centre-backs, spending over 15 years in England after joining Newcastle United on loan from PSG in 2001. He went on to serve Manchester City, Portsmouth, and Everton with equal distinction — a composed, left-footed stopper who barely seemed to age.
