Best Premier League Defenders

The Premier League began in 1992, and has been the host to a number of worldly defenders to play in numerous clubs... but who has been the best?
The Top Ten
1 John Terry

Chelsea FC legend JT, the EPL's highest ever scoring defender has donned the blue of London his entire career, does he take pole position?

2 Rio Ferdinand Rio Gavin Ferdinand is an English former professional footballer who played as a center back, and current television pundit for BT Sport.

The former West Ham, Leeds, Manchester Utd and QPR defender is arguably the best ball playing defender in history, but is that enough the get him top of the lot?

3 Ledley King

Plighted by injuries, but blessed by talent. With only one knee, we can only dream of thinking how good the Spurs man really could have been.

4 Tony Adams

Very similar to JT in many ways, former Arsenal captain and undoubted legend.

5 Sol Campbell

Controversially trading the white, for the red of north London, Sol comfortably sits high on the top ten.

6 Ashley Cole Ashley Cole is an English professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Los Angeles Galaxy in Major League Soccer.

The only full back to make the list, Cole wasn't the most liked player in the league, but being an invincible and a champions league winner, he was once regarded as the best Left Back in the world.

7 Nemanja Vidic

The take no prisoners Serbian won all there is to win at Old Trafford, with only one known weakness; Fernando Torres.

8 Sami Hyypia

Hyypia is a Liverpool legend, and a phenomenal defender. A true leader in a team filled with leaders in a triumphant period for the reds.

9 Vincent Kompany

The only player on the list still actively playing in the Premier League, regularly in the treatment room, but a true leader, and sorely missed when unavailable.

10 Jaap Stam

Another no nonsense centre back played for Manchester Utd, for only a brief spell, however is clear the raw talent he possessed.
