I think I should be picked up remembering a Centre Half on loan who played 1 game in a 1-4 drubbing against Spurs on New Years Day 1995

Rio Ferdinand aka wobblygob

The greatest centre-back of his generation IMO.

Loved Steve Bruce too. The best captain and leader out of that list BY FAR

Thanks to whomever... It would have been nice if you'd put their full names for consistency. Thanks nonetheless.

I think Rio is the most complete defender we’ll ever see and you could put almost anyone in that list with him and you’d be happy.

You're right.

Is there a gentleman's agreement in place on the maximum number of players we can vote for?

People forget his pens also. Missed at sheff utd in the cup, can't recall any others?

36 goals for us

We should have a statue of him solely for vs sheff Wednesday april 1993... Football ecstacy.

Currently more votes for Larry, Smalling, Jones, Prunier & Berg than Vida?

His problem is he was paired with Rio.

I can't remember which site it was - this or RI, but Vidic and Evra got absolutely hammered in the first months maybe even year after signing.

Absolute dogs abuse....

Funny how it all turned out.

Rio for me, then Stam, then Vidic...

Pallister and Bruce, not really a fair comparison with the rest, as the game was different back then, even 28 years ago.

It's Stam. He's why we won the treble.
