    Johnny Humphrey always seemed to put in a good cross on the run, back in the day.

    Googled it and found a Top 15 ranking of premier league crossers which brought up a few names not yet mentioned, like Steve Guppy, Morton Gamst Pedersen and David Bentley

    I mentioned Guppy, the other 2 were very good as well.  No one mentioned Stuart Downing yet?

    Remember Liverpool bought him and Jordan Henderson because they were the best left and right footed cross (according to the stats) the season before.

    Remember Paul Stewart at Spurs was pretty pin point

    I've always thought the way Lyle Taylor drives balls across the 6yd box is pretty De Bruynesque

    Colin Powell is the stand-out for me
    Quote from Keith Peacock’s 2004 autobiography:

    I rate Colin Powell the best crosser of the ball the club has ever had.

    When he wasn't getting arrested or driving into things, Jermaine Pennant could hit a wicked cross.

    John Aston - murdered us in a 1-5 home drubbing by Luton after we had taken the lead - he had had a career before that with Man U so had some pedigree. I can remember those curling crosses from my viewpoint half way up the east terrace. I was actually sick for a week after that game.

    De Bruyne and Alexander-Arnold the best around at the moment imo.

    Steve Highway for Liverpool was excellent. For us Colin Powell was consistently good.

    Forwards: Colin Powell, Len Glover, JB Gudmundsson, John Robinson.

    Full backs: Chris Powell, John Humphrey, Phil Warman (who was originally a winger).

    Does a Rory Delap thrown cross count?

    David Beckham is as good as it gets for passing/crossing accuracy.

    For Charlton, the best I’ve seen have been Danny Green and Kyel Reid. Both underrated players during their time with us. Thinking it through, we haven’t really had that many wingers where crossing has stood out in recent history

    Danny Green's cross for Yann's header away at MK Dons was exceptional.

    Dean Kiely was an impressive crosser. Never played a match without checking spectacles, testicles...

    Very recently, Oshilaja shows real promise in the crossing dept.

    Good call.
    Ditto Brian Kinsey

    And a good call Brian Kinsey. He used to run coaching sessions at my school. Taking corners and crossing the ball were a focus.
