Ferdinand didn't cost £41m . . think it was something like £29m from memory Yes Leeds paid £18m for him then Man Utd £29m huge fees at the time, unreal to think it took us 20 years to catch up with those transfer fees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I can only think that Paul having played a lot of games in Division One, rather than spending most of his time in the PL may have counted against him. This whole "year zero" approach to any football played before the PL began really annoys me. Shearer and Lineker, are old enough to know better and should hold their heads in shame. Micah Richards probably just wanted to vote for himself. As for Pallister and Carvalho? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The poll is nonsense, but the fact he’s still called God by almost everyone that saw him play regularly, over 30yrs later, tells you everything you need to know about him. He’s the best defender I’ve seen live by quite some considerable distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted May 5, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 5, 2021 I'm suprised more people haven't noticed. We've moved on from football starting with the formation of the Premier League now. The early days are also now treated as if they never happened, it's all about what's happened since the top 4 became established. Unless you've played for one of the "recognised" big clubs you pretty much don't exist in pundits eyes. Hence the desperation to get Jack moved to a pet club. It kills them to wax lyrical about him now, how are they ever going to put him in a list of greatest players 10 years from now if he's only played for Aston Villa...... doesn't compute for them. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 One of the best readers of the game, I have seen and his consistency match to match was awesome.

ROTTERDAM1982 Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 For me, the best central defender ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I respect Linekar and Shearer as footballers but I don't care about there opinions and as for Richards he's a joke anyway. McGrath should have been in the top 5 at least 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Paul was better than Ferdinand and pallister even when he was pissed, which was quite a few times, trust me, especially for United. Go and watch him in the 1984 Cup final against Everton, he didn't give Andy Gray a sniff of the ball in the air and we all know about Andy's areiel prowess.

sparrow1988 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 An article from four four two magazine from a few years back. You might have to get the magnifying glass out but it's a good read. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read his book some years ago, he such a complex character but an amazing person and one of the greatest defenders ever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
