It's true. He was a classy, strong, Rolls Royce of a player. Played with one knee a lot of the time and was probably a better player than Rio overall. This will be controversial to man united fans , and maybe those kinds of people that love to hate spurs like it's their job, but it's probably the truth. Ledley was an extraordinary player.
Very glad Steven said Ledley. He was an unbelievable player and he never gets a mention. A massive shame about the condition of his knees. As a lifelong football fan and long-term sufferer of osgood schlatter, I really feel for such an unfortunate forced early retirement 🙏 Especially for such an incredible player 🙏
Stam and Vidic were better than Rio. He consistently switched off over the years. Concentration was a big issue for him. Vidic had one game where Torres burnt him. Stam was unplayable.
Maguire was to blame for all but one of the goals we conceded at the last World Cup. if Southgate continues to start him it will be entirely on Gareth for bottling another tournament
I have heard 100s of people say king was miles better than rio until he started to get all those injuries an I believe it too, Rio was good but hes wayyy over hyped.
Spurs fan and king at his best was great and amazing how well he played when couldn’t train and orib only 50% - but being the best is also about longevity and being able stay fit - why Van Basten R9 aren’t rated as highly as Ronaldo messi etc when peak form was as good
What bothered fans. Was his incredibly defensive tactics. Plain and simple. His record is ok. But you'll never win anything with 10 right backs and a keeper
Darren Bent said the same thing about Ledley when he was asked about most difficult defenders he played against - on another level, even with the ongoing management of his physical fitness...
Even People With Coronavirus Can Still Think And Talk Very Very Well, And Also Act Very Normal. So My Question is, What Are You Really Really Smoking MAN. Rio Ferdinand Ain't in Competition Or Conversation With Nobody. He is Way Above Them, Cause He is The GOAT 🐐
I'm sorry I cannot take the word of a guy who has a long list of teams in his career and he's only there for a year or two and also played for qpr and cardiff
Nah he was quality when fit. It's a fairly well-shared opinion that King could have been Englands best CB at the time if it wasn't for injuries. I've heard many a player share that view.
@@Zeppelin180People genuinely call Ronaldo (R9) the goat and he was fully fit for about maybe 4 seasons..tops. So to answer your question, possibly. If Messi had scored a similar amount of goals in those 2 seasons as he did in real life then I wouldn't rule it out.
Rio Ferdinand Is A Billion Times Way Way Way Ahead Of Ledley King. Infant, Rio Ferdinand Ain't In Competition Or Conversation With Nobody, Cause He is Above Them. He is The Motherfucking GOAT 🐐🐐
Absolutely no chance. Whats Caulker been smoking? Spent most of his time in the injury room. Can't be considered the best, not even top ten. Adams, Terry, Ferdinand, Vidic, Stam, VVD, Kompany, Campbell, Bruce, Desailly all better, to name a few.
*IF* Ledley King could stay fit. But he couldn't, could he? So he can't possibly be considered the best defender. Fragile. Shows how much Caulker knows about Rio too, he only says "during his time at united he was unbelievable" - He was unreal at West Ham and Leeds before he joined scum.
@rakimrobinson6505 Maybe you don't know much about football. I watched vidic and ferdinand they were unbelievable. kompany was class but still not good enough
@ellroy2823 it's not a discussion about duos, Kompany didn't have a Vidic beside him. Who's better between Rio and Vidic? Kompany had the ballplaying calm of Rio and the necessary controlled aggression of Vidic. Also had the responsibility of Captain in a midtable team trying to be the best.
What is it with people associsted with spursy. Ive never seen a more desperate group of people fishing for scraps of glory. Take their stadium its akin to having squaters living in an empty palace. Theres very little silverware in there but because they live there they pretend they are amonst the best.
Finally someone mentioned king. So many people forget how good he was.
No loads of people actually bring him up a considerable amount of times baring in mind the career he ended up having.
King is the only defender in Memory that would have success against Henry in both their prime
Oh Ledley, Ledley
He’s only got one knee
He’s better than John Terry
Oh Ledley, Ledley!
I totally agree with him l king was amazing
It's true. He was a classy, strong, Rolls Royce of a player. Played with one knee a lot of the time and was probably a better player than Rio overall. This will be controversial to man united fans , and maybe those kinds of people that love to hate spurs like it's their job, but it's probably the truth. Ledley was an extraordinary player.
Ledley King was way better than Overrated Rio Ferdinand, just shame Ledleys injuries curtailed his career
Talksport interviews ex footballers who nominate their old teammates as the GOAT.
You a sofa fan or what. You know how many ex pros have said Ledley king was the best. But was marred by injuries. Do some due diligence my friend.
Thierry Henry said the same. Was he an old teammate of Spurs' Ledley King?
Very glad Steven said Ledley. He was an unbelievable player and he never gets a mention. A massive shame about the condition of his knees. As a lifelong football fan and long-term sufferer of osgood schlatter, I really feel for such an unfortunate forced early retirement 🙏 Especially for such an incredible player 🙏
steven caulker was average at best wasn't he the guy who played at cardiff that looked like a joke at times?
He’s right
Rio isn't even Man UTDs best CB, how are people saying he's the best in the Prem era?
Are you knew to football? I've seen many pundits and ex-players say Rio was the best. I love Vidic and Stam but Rio could do everything.
Stam and Vidic were better than Rio. He consistently switched off over the years. Concentration was a big issue for him. Vidic had one game where Torres burnt him. Stam was unplayable.
@@SteveAustin-zv1nn Bruce, Vidic, Stam all better
@@Samtheman91opinions mate everyone has em
@@scott-w86of course, I just wondered what people thought
Is it me or has Caulker had a joint today?🧐
King the Best 😉
U can't talk abt ledley king and not talk abt john Terry......so i totally disagree with this lad
Maguire was to blame for all but one of the goals we conceded at the last World Cup. if Southgate continues to start him it will be entirely on Gareth for bottling another tournament
Exactly, it's just that England won alot of those games that his mistakes get hidden.
I have heard 100s of people say king was miles better than rio until he started to get all those injuries an I believe it too, Rio was good but hes wayyy over hyped.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 shut up, educate yourself. What top tier games did king play in? Make a difference in europe? Embarrassing take
Way overrated
One of those 100s is an Arsenal legend called Thierry Henry. Said, he's the best defender he's ever played against.
Plus he’s a drug cheat
Thierry Henry also named him the best defender he ever played against. He said this despite the rivalry. It shows how good King was.
Bro staying fit is a part of being great
It’s the longevity and sheer number of games played that take Ledley over the top for me 👍🏻
He's right Ledley was different gravy. A cross between Paul McGrath & Claude Makélélé.
Well said Steven, speaks well and fully agree 👏
Paul McGrath definitely tops and with no knees or training.
That guy was good
Spurs fan and king at his best was great and amazing how well he played when couldn’t train and orib only 50% - but being the best is also about longevity and being able stay fit - why Van Basten R9 aren’t rated as highly as Ronaldo messi etc when peak form was as good
They talk like Ferdinand was something special 🤦♂️
Nobody mentions Sol Campbell , that pace for a big guy
How come Caulker saying "we"? He switched allegiance to Sierra Leone 😂
On his day maybe but his days were far and few therefore he cannot be considered the best.
Never realised caulker. Looks like a good looking tyson fury
What bothered fans. Was his incredibly defensive tactics. Plain and simple. His record is ok. But you'll never win anything with 10 right backs and a keeper
Darren Bent said the same thing about Ledley when he was asked about most difficult defenders he played against - on another level, even with the ongoing management of his physical fitness...
Rio was bang average in a great team. Winning doesn't make you a great player.
😂
Bang average🤣🤣🤣clueless.
could of been if he didn't keep getting injured
Nono you're wrong Steven, the best ever premier league defender is philippe senderos!
How can Sol Campbell not be getting a mention! Crazy
Even People With Coronavirus Can Still Think And Talk Very Very Well, And Also Act Very Normal.
So My Question is,
What Are You Really Really Smoking MAN.
Rio Ferdinand Ain't in Competition Or Conversation With Nobody.
He is Way Above Them,
Cause He is The GOAT 🐐
Who's This
Get rid of your unskippable betting commercials your channel sickens me
you still watch commercials on youtube lmao
@@hustler666100 nope I stop watching instantly
Quality player when he wasnt injured but rio was a better player
Ledley king was a beast even here in Germany I recognized his Power 👊👏👍
Where is Tony Adams, John Terry, Vincent Kompany
It's Saturday, so they might be dropping the kids off at the pool.
Rio is better than all of them
Kompany is definitely better than Rio. Tangibles and intangibles.. Ability and leadership.
@@LionKingMCFC no chance buddy....rio is a rolls royce and company is a Mercedes Benz...levels to this
@thunderjoy7250 you didn't actually make a point. Just stated a preference. Rio wasn't miles above Kompany, so make better, less emotional points.
Ledley such a shame injuries
Rio got banned for 8 months and he was still better than king when he wasn't playing
Alisandro Nesta classy
Martial is better than Mbappe too it’s only injuries that’s blinded the public 😅😂
I'm sorry I cannot take the word of a guy who has a long list of teams in his career and he's only there for a year or two and also played for qpr and cardiff
There must of been another Ledley king I never seen, the one I seen was bang average who is most well known for a scoring a goal in under 10 seconds.
Nah he was quality when fit. It's a fairly well-shared opinion that King could have been Englands best CB at the time if it wasn't for injuries. I've heard many a player share that view.
You sound like a compulsive liar. Ledley King was world class and if my memory serves me well he is the last Spurs captain to win something.
If you think King was bang average, it's not your eyes or what you've seen that's the problem, it's your knowledge of the game. Pleb.
@@SteveAustin-zv1nnThe injury thing is nonsense though. Would people say Messi was the GOAT if he was only fit for 2 seasons?
@@Zeppelin180People genuinely call Ronaldo (R9) the goat and he was fully fit for about maybe 4 seasons..tops. So to answer your question, possibly. If Messi had scored a similar amount of goals in those 2 seasons as he did in real life then I wouldn't rule it out.
Lol king? He was always out injured shut up
King was an absolute monster, amazing player and that's coming from a Arsenal fan.
So an injured player when not injured is also injured and cannot be accessed by your warped reasoning....smh.
Rio Ferdinand Is A Billion Times Way Way Way Ahead Of Ledley King.

Nowhere near as good as rio was
Keep him off the drugs!!🙈😴Ridiculous Click Bait.
When is a serial loser is doing a fantastic job,am I missing something
Gets a hug off klopp and turns into a helmet
Sol campbell was better than rio by a million miles
Typical asnal fan😂😂

Caulker
Not even spurs best cb let alone premier league. He was good but come on….. he seems to get rated better for every year more since he retired
*IF* Ledley King could stay fit. But he couldn't, could he? So he can't possibly be considered the best defender. Fragile. Shows how much Caulker knows about Rio too, he only says "during his time at united he was unbelievable" - He was unreal at West Ham and Leeds before he joined scum.
Steven caulker was average at best
D5oes that make him better than you?
Ferdinand was miles above king mainly because he wasn't made of glass
@@ellroy2823 Maybe. I think Kompany was better than both.
