It's the trend that has dominated football Twitter over the past few weeks and got fans from all over reminiscing on iconic moments from Premier League history.

Inspired by the Cultras Football Podcast, the rise of the #Barclaysmen has seen supporters celebrating several former top flight footballers, alongside moments of heritage from the Premier League.

In short, it is a nostalgic look at English football and one that has spread, with fans sharing short highlight clips from a player's career, usually accompanied by a famous indie tune from the 2000s.
