Nah, Djimi was both a worse player and actually played the full game, he still wins in my book. Although I had completely forgotten about Greenings existance, despite playing in the PL for fucking ages and looking like a homeless person
I take your point about Traore being shite but the thing is, his manager actually thought he was good enough and had faith in him. Greening only got on the bench because Roy Keane was suspended and even then, at 1- p down and being totally overrun, his manager wouldn't dream of putting him on to stem the flow. Basically, he got a medal for being a full kit wanker whilst watching a game of football. If you or I found that medal in a lucky bag, we'd be just as deserving of it.
One guy who never got a league medal but thoroughly deserved one might be Rob Lee; albeit only for his outstanding performances that year when Newcastle blew it.
