Bext XI: Central defenders (nominations)

[neville w]

good work nev, the analogy i would use would be shippings answer to birdy.

I don't know the lady as well as you do Mex, so I'll take your word for that !

[McLovin]

Culverhouse and Calderwood for me.

If only Richard Dryden were a permanent signing...

[Matchworn Shirts]

Calderwood and Shaun Taylor, I am not able to comment on older players as I am only old enough to remember these.

Nodody has mentioned Reeeeeeves yet

[Lumps]

If I can't pick Nestor I'm going to sulk  :x

Possibly the best defender I've ever seen at the club and frozen out of the team because we couldn't afford the next payment on his transfer!  :twisted:

So I'll have to go for Calderwood and .....

Gittens!

Sorry guys but Taylor was fucking clueless once he came up against decent quality opposition. That Premiership season was fucking embarrassing.

Gitts on the other hand at least managed to struggle through 2/3 seasons in the top flight with Saints and Boro.

[redbullzeye]

Calderwood and Ifil for me.  Ooh Shaun very close just because of his heart and scoring the odd vital goal.

[Samdy Gray]

Just realised I haven't cast my nominations for this yet.

I'll go for Calderwood and Gittens.

[mrOG]

Culverhouse (class...just glided around) and Ifil (gets better each game that he plays)

Not Shaun Taylor for the Prem season - bad to watch....  

[STFC Village]

Taylor and Calderwood

[RobertT]

Calderwood and, erm, I can't decide.  Taylor gave you everything he had but was he really of the right quality.  Again, prior to 1983ish I can't judge anyone's ability so I'll go for Gittens.  Lorenzo could have been the best ever I think, that was a crazy transfer.  Culverhouse was absolute class, closest to watching a defensive Hoddle, but we were in a lower league with much poorer forwards against him so that has to count against him unfortunately.
