List of footballers with a Premier League winner's medal


Since the formation of the FA Premier League in 1992, only six football teams have won the title – Manchester United, Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Leicester City. With 13 wins to their name, it is unsurprising that Manchester United players hold the top positions for being in title-winning sides.

Currently, a player needs to appear in five matches in a title-winning season to qualify for a medal (inclusive of matches as a playing substitute). This is down from the previous standard of ten matches played beginning in the 2012–13 season. Previously it stated:

The League Champions shall further receive 30 commemorative medals to be presented by the Club to its Manager and to such of its Players and Officials as it thinks fit provided, in the case of a Player, that he has that Season played in a minimum of 10 of its League Matches. Additional medals may be presented with the consent of the Board.

This "special dispensation", at the discretion of the Premier League Board, is usually reserved for reserve goalkeepers, and outfield players who have played fewer than 10 games due to injury.

For the first season, the players received a miniature version of the trophy rather than a medal.

This table details the chronology of the Premier League winners, the respective captains of the sides, and the number of medals awarded to team players in that season.

There have been 223 different players to receive a Premier League medal, from 46 different countries (in 2011–12, 68 countries in total were represented) Of these 46 countries, 19 have yielded only one medal winner.
