There's often a discussion about who the greatest Premier League midfielder ever is, with Paul Scholes, Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard amongst the front runners.
Behind the front three though, Toure has to be considered one of the true greats of the modern era in England, especially considering his impressive 2013/14 season.
A compilation video on Twitter has been doing the rounds in the past two days and it really shows how good the former Ivory Coast midfielder way.

Toure was recently voted seventh in the league's all time top 50 midfielders list, with Roy Keane first followed by Gerrard, Lampard, Patrick Vieira, Scholes and teammate David Silva.
The former Barcelona man hasn't retired yet and was even training with League Two side Leyton Orient earlier this year, in an attempt to get fitter.
With Manchester City's current Covid-19 crisis maybe Pep Guardiola would have him back soon.
