The likes of Vincent Kompany, John Terry and Steven Gerrard are the legendary Premier League captains of this era, but what about the future?
1. Gary Gardiner
Aston Villa midfielder Gary Gardiner is the usual type of Premier League captain. A central box-to-box midfielder with pride in his club and also a hard worker. Gardiner has already made his mark on the Premier League and is often dubbed as the next Frank Lampard. Next he is expected to enter the international scene with England and is a potential future captain for the three lions, while he could also become skipper at Aston Villa, or even a bigger Premier League club if he leaves within the next year or two.
