If there was one English player who oozed a warrior spirit and unparalleled grit, it is Scott Parker. The one-time England captain was a mainstay in the Premier League for over a decade, but decided to change things a bit when he opted to stay with Fulham despite them being relegated.

After 2 years at Tottenham Hotspur, where he provided some incredible service, he joined Fulham in 2013. However, in his very first season with the club, they got relegated to the Championship. Now while Scott Parker might be in the wrong side of 30s, he still has what it takes to play in the Premier League.

But he chose to stay at Fulham. He might not have been able to make Craven Cottage a Premier League stadium once again, as Fulham are playing in the Championship for the second season running, but it shows the passion he oozes for the club he plays for.
