The recent debate on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football show has sparked controversy across the country - so who are the best crossers in Premier League history?

Former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville spoke on the show about the excellent crossing ability of Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, ranking him highly alongside the likes of David Beckham and Steven Gerrard.

Since the launch of the Premier League in 1992, 1000's of crosses have been attempted by multiple players - some more successful than others.

Whether it be a last-minute launch into the box in the desperate hope of clinching a point or a hair-raising set-piece delivery, crossing remains one of the most powerful components for an attacking team.

But who gets our vote? Here are our rankings for the best crossers in Premier League history from worst to best:

15. Steward Downing

His end-product in terms of scoring goals was disappointing, but Downing has a wand of a left foot.

The 35-year-old has delivered over 2,718 crosses in the Premier League since 2006 - more than any other player.

14. Chris Brunt

Another left-footed magician. Brunt has often been subject to controversial moments in his career but his crossing ability is outstanding.

The 34-year-old has been at West Bromwich Albion since 2007; fans at the Hawthorns have witnessed his wizardry on countless occasions, whether that be from set-pieces or open play.

13. Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool's exciting right-back hasn't spent too long in the Premier League so far, but what an outstanding crosser he already is at such a young age.

The 20-year-old registered 12 assists in 29 Premier League appearances last season. For a full-back, they are outstanding figures and this is just the start.

12. Gylfi Sigurdsson

The Icelandic playmaker oozes class and what he can produce, especially from free-kicks, is extremely rare.

Sigurdsson opts for the 'whip' technique when crossing, regularly causing mayhem in the opposition box. I certainly wouldn't want to defend his crosses, that's for sure.

11. Cesc Fabregas

Eden Hazard revealed Fabregas' nickname is 'The Master' and it's not difficult to see why.

The Spain midfielder inherits unique intelligence and creativity; although his crossing does not belong in the mesmerising category, he finds passes and crosses that 99% of players never see.

10. Sebastian Larsson

Another player who produced magic from nothing. The Sweden midfielder has delivered 1,495 Premier League crosses since 2006 and if you were a striker waiting for the perfect ball into the box, Larsson was the player to provide that.

Whether it's a free-kick, corner or open play, the 34-year-old was a constant threat and achieves a deserved 10th-place ranking.

9. Aleksandar Kolarov

Kolarov Manchester City Arsenal

When Kolarov's name is mentioned, every person immediately thinks of his outrageous left foot.

The versatile Serbian full-back - who also operates on the left flank due to his crossing ability - was an extremely valuable asset to Manchester City. Players like him arrive once in a blue moon (ironic) and his crossing quality should not be overlooked.

8. Morten Gamst Pedersen

The Norwegian obtained similar characteristics to the aforementioned Kolarov. Pace, power and accuracy - three components to make a tasty delivery.

Pedersen is remembered for his magical left foot during his spell at Blackburn Rovers, completing 1,355 crosses in the Premier League since 2006.

7. Wayne Rooney

You may have expected him to be higher, but Rooney was never notoriously known for crossing due to his outstanding goalscoring ability.

The former England international remains one of the greatest talents of the Premier League era and his footballing skill and technique is world-class. Despite being a goalscorer, it would be difficult not to stick 'Wazza' in these rankings.

6. David Bentley

Bentley spent the majority of his playing career at Blackburn Rovers and treated Ewood Park with many special moments.

The England midfielder produced several 'wow' moments and a delicious right foot ranks him sixth.

5. Matthew Taylor

Taylor has scored half-way line goals, outstanding volleys, the lot - but his quality from crosses is what he's known for.

The 37-year-old is currently playing out his final years with Swindon Town but his technique throughout his Premier League playing career remains one of the best and another left-footed magician makes the rankings.

4. Ryan Giggs

Old Trafford has been blessed with an array of outstanding attacking talent - not many rank higher than Giggs.

The Welsh wizard was a mesmerising winger capable of producing moments of magic from nothing. Whipped-in crosses was his forte and constantly rained in deliveries from the left flank.

3. Steven Gerrard

Somehow Gerrard failed to lift a Premier League title, but what a fantastic servant he was to the top-flight for Liverpool.

When the Reds needed someone to produce a moment of brilliance, Gerrard was the person to do so. His ability to drift into deep positions and provide astonishing crosses was unprecedented during his tenure and narrowly misses out on a top-two ranking.

2. Kevin De Bruyne

The Belgium playmaker has been instrumental in City's recent inheritance of success and his delivery from dead-ball situations and open play is breathtaking.

If you want to watch someone cross a ball and think 'how did he do that?' then De Bruyne is your man. His spacial awareness, vision and technique is currently the best in the Premier League and achieves a deserved second-place ranking.

1. David Beckham

Could it be anyone else other than Beckham? It is impossible to name a more iconic duo than Becks and crossing in the Premier League.

The former England international operated on the right side of midfield and encouraged overlapping full-backs to create space for himself to deliver the perfect cross. A wizard with the ball at his feet and we are unlikely to see someone as capable at crossing as Beckham was in the years to come.
