One Last Dance? The most iconic Premier League player returns

Some Premier League legends have created iconic careers at certain clubs, giving fans the fondest memories of their time.

Over the years, some players have returned to the clubs they made their names, giving fans one last dance.

Some returns have been short and sweet, but some have added to their already long-standing legacy with the club they played for.

Here are some of the most iconic player returns in the Premier League!

Didier Drogba is a Chelsea legend, scoring 100 goals in 226 games in his first stint, winning 11 major trophies in eight years, and capping off his first stint with the winning penalty in the Champions League final.

After a year away, the Chelsea legend couldn't resist one more year. He scored four goals in the league campaign, winning another Premier League and League Cup trophy. In his final game, he was carried off the pitch by his teammates.

Wayne Rooney burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old for Everton in 2002, scoring the winning goal against Arsenal, ending their 30-game unbeaten run. Between 2002 and 2004, Rooney scored 15 goals in 67 appearances before joining Manchester United.

After an almighty career with United, Rooney returned to Everton in 2017, with the highlight of his return being his first Everton Hattrick against West Ham, with the third goal being from inside his half. He scored ten goals in his return.

Robbie Fowler is one of Liverpool's greatest strikers, scoring 120 goals in 236 games in his first stint and winning the UEFA Cup, League Cup, and FA Cup in the 2000/01 season before leaving.

After five years away from the club, Fowler came back for one last run, but it ended with minimal game time. He played 30 games and scored eight goals, earning a Champions League runners-up medal.

Gareth Bale tore up the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur before he joined Real Madrid for a world record fee, scoring 42 goals and winning the PFA Player of the Year award twice.

After minimal playing time with Madrid, Bale joined Spurs for one season, scoring 11 goals in 20 games, with Tottenham finishing seventh in the Premier League.

Thierry Henry is arguably the greatest player to play in the Premier League, being Arsenal's figurehead for eight years, winning five major trophies and becoming the club's record scorer (228).

After five years away, Henry gave the Arsenal faithful one more warm embrace, scoring a goal against Leeds in the League Cup, with Henry running to the bench remaining as one of the sweetest moments in the club's history.

Before his move to Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo established himself as one of the world's best players, winning the Ballon' Dor, multiple Premier League titles, and a Champions League.

By the time he had returned, Ronaldo had already confirmed his legacy within the sport, and the buzz at United was real. He scored 24 goals in his return to the club, but a fallout with the board and manager Erik Ten Haag meant he left on sour terms.
