Centre Backs Win Leagues
Centre Backs Win Leagues
During the near 30 years of the Premier League era, we have seen some truly memorable central defensive partnerships on show. From the maiden Premier League season (with Steve Bruce & the vastly underrated Gary Pallister), to the Scottish warrior Colin Hendry & Hennig Berg at Blackburn, itâs not difficult to visual these defensive rocks.
The famous Arsenal rearguard, consisted of the all time great Tony Adams & Steve Bould / Martin Keown. This was followed by Manchester Unitedâs giant centre back, the world class Jaap Stam. Stam arrived somewhat unknown, and immediately showed his worth, forming partnerships from of a group of Hennig Berg, David May, Ronny Johnsen & Mickael Silvestre.
