Troy Deeney ranks Premier League strikers with TikTok video causing a stir amongst fans with his controversial choice as he snubs Liverpool star

Troy Deeney, the former Watford player, recently stirred the pot by ranking top-flight strikers.

Taking to TikTok, Deeney jumped on the Premier League 'blind ranking' trend, where users assign rankings without knowing which player is coming next.

Despite the unpredictability of blind rankings, Deeney dove in headfirst, immediately sparking controversy by placing Andy Cole, the prolific former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers forward, at the top of his list.

Deeney lauded Cole as a 'legend', instantly placing him in first position, a designation which raised eyebrows among fans who expected other household names to claim the top spot.
