Nanny what has done that Vidic to get so many praises? I don't watch much of them, but to get into the all time top ten in so few time is strange.

Funnily enough, the Liverpool defence of the last years has been very strong but never got half the credit.

I dont think any other defender has as many league championship, European Cup winners, FA cup medals etc.. as well as a hat full of international caps as Phil Neal.

If success is the criteria then Zico should be in the top 3.
