I loved Vidic man he was such a beast and scored some great header goals. He just had that eastern european toughness about him and I wouldnt mess w that dude.
Vidic would probably be my no1. Imagine him and Stam!
Torres loved playing against him though.
@@aaronhounsome8954 i loved Torres too!
@@jamiecook4288 well said, Stam and Vidic should have been the best.
@@aaronhounsome8954 ultimately vidic beat torres more times than torres got past him so yh.
If he doesnt put harry maguire the list is rigged
😂
Wheeey!! 🥱
Don’t forget the mighty Phil Jones bro.
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
I think people don't remember how reliable Vidic was at the back. It wasn't just his beast mentality and sacrifice on the pitch, he was rock solid and never seen him made a single mistake when defending, which is not what I can say about Rio. In that UTD partnership Nemanja was the more reliable one, and it wasn't even close. Best defender Premier league has seen and probably the only one who instilled fear in opponent strikers.
Did not instil fear in Torres though
@@mforme1111 I think it was one or two matches where he got skinned, the rest of the time he faced him he wasn't much of a threat. This is just not true and is a narrative liverpool fans keep on saying.
@@dafunkyshit Torres always skinned him even in his bad Chelsea days . Torres ate him and John Terry without thinking
@@joshuakithyoma9575 Lol, it's not true. Torres only ever scored 3 goals against him in like 15 matches. Cry more pal
"Never made a single mistake"
*Laughs in El Niño*
What i love is the generational difference. VVD isn't just humble but willing to learn or be taught. He didn't see players like Tony Adam play. That's where Rio's knowledge comes in. I love the respect from both. No such list will ever be universally endorsed, with the tribal nature of football a factor here. All in all, the game has been blessed with talent. We are spoiled for choice in the end.
Teach him what? He barely mentioned them or said anything.
@@kb5509 Really? They must have discussed a cross-section of stuff. The interview is about VVDs choices. Rio is respectful enough to listen. I still heard him contribute on fellow defenders he played with or against. Isn't that knowledge to Van Dijk?
Wow. Well said.
Adams played the old school centre half role and had his off the field demons then came back and then adapted under a new manager ( Wenger ) new training style, diet etc everything and won the double, so he played in 2 generations of the game if that makes sense so I would of put him in. Other 4 Rio, Terry, company and big vid. Stam class but I can't put him in as he never played long enough for this debate and van dijk still playing I think best defender in the world the now but this debate for me is for players who have finished, he will go down as maybe the best once finished.
@@colincarnochan4156 Good points, Colin.
Maguire not even in the equation. This can’t be real. Surely the correct top 5 should be:
1. Maguire
2. Jones
3. Lindelof
4. Smalling
5. Varane ( just for this season he’s been outstanding)
Mustafi robbed
Mings over varane
Mike smalling first
💀
Fun fact they all played for united 😆
How has he not got Vidic in the 5??? For me he's number 1. The best CB that's ever played for United in my opinion. An absolute beast of a defender.
It's his choice mate 🤣
Stam had entered the chat
Cos there’s much better defenders than just United defenders
Until Fernando Torres destroyed him and his career 🤣
Rio was better
Just as he mentioned them towards the end, I couldn't help but think how complementary and powerful a duo of Ricardo Carvalho and Nemanja Vidic would have been!
not as strong as Ricardo Carvalho and John terry.
@@w.n.o2796 John Terry is overrated and Vidic is miles ahead of Carvalho
@@jonbon6843 L take
@@areebsiddiqui758 which part
@@jonbon6843 Respect John Terry
JT is the best CB imo. Played at the top of his game even in his later years yet Rio declined with age pretty badly in positional awareness and pace. JT never relied on pace to his game.
Great penalty taker too might I add
Spot on. Was Rio lost his pace he struggled to adapt, realistically he shouldve moved away from England in my opinion once he lost his legs.
@@mn98lfc Go back and watch him in 12-13. Was key in United's title win. Was hardly young then.
Rio lost his pace in his early 30s and still went on to do well for a couple years after until his mid 30s.
@@samuste_ go back and watch his last season at United, and the infamous spell at QPR. Bombscare. And not as good as Terry in multiple technical aspects.
Vidic has got to be the most underrated CB. Imo he’s number 1
Way better than rio, Rio’s only remembered more and as better coz he’s English but vidić was miles clear
@@JJ-id3rn Lol so clueless Rio was an unreal player on the ball Vidic just defended
@@jacob4690 well yeah, he was a defender...
MU fan here, Ferdinand is more ball playing CB, Vidic is classic stopper, but to be honest i am more worried if Vidic didn't play, unlike Ferdinand Vidic can read the opponent.
As a united fan,vidic's playing style was very similar to vvd imo
How didn't Vidic get into the top 5. one of the most underrated CB in PL. He use to put his head on the line literally
Vidic is not underrated at all lmao
Because he wasn't as good as the other 5
That’s his choice
@@buckdoesbuckthings He was better than all of them lol
he's not an english
Virge obviously needs more time to fully establish himself legacy wise amongst some of these names, but PURELY in terms of skill set, he is the comfortably the most complete. He has absolutely everything, ridiculous pace for a CB, strength, wins everything in the air, positioning, anticipation, tackling, goal threat, insanely comfortable in possession and one of the best long passers i've ever seen from the CB position.
And a great, inspiring leader
Silva >
@@opaisi660 name a single attribute he has that Virge doesn't
@@onetwo8847 Ball playing! Silva indisputably has better positioning, better anticipation, more aware and more composed on and off the ball. Better leader, too!
@@opaisi660 it's not 'indisputable' because I'm disputing that right now
Vidic is top in almost every defensive stats, Terry is second to him. But he exceeds Vidic in goalscoring which isn't even defensive Stat.
Vidic played in the best prem league alongside Rio. I think he’s a bit overrated 🤷🏻♂️ definitely top 5 tho.
@@shayannazeri76 hahahahahah... man Vidic was better than any of them
Vida at 1 or 2
@@stretfordenders4013 Vida? The guy from Besiktas?
I remember growing up as a United fan in the Premier League era where the the likes of Vidic, Terry, Ferdinand, Campbell, Carvalho, etc we’re in their prime.
Maybe I’d judge it differently now but I always remember seeing Vidic and John Terry as just complete rocks. The rest are absolute top drawer without a doubt, but there was something about those two - even seeing their names on the team sheet was enough.
A friend of mine is a life long Evertonian, and he always told me that he fancied his Everton side to score against every team, except when United had Vidic there - he said he almost just felt like there wasn’t any chance.
Exactly. People who have watched vidic and Terry play would say the same. It's difficult to pick 1st and 2nd among those 2 but those 2 best defenders in the history of EPL.
Enough people said it already but from my pov, growing up in germany watching the pl, Vidic being an absolute monster was the first thing that came to mind after seeing the pictures of the players to choose from on the bottom of the screen
Stam was better
Marcel Desailly was a monster of a defender for Chelsea,however it wasn't over a long period..
Was he? They finished super low when he played
best years were at Milan remember him begging Henry not to embarass him at Chelsea
he was the main teacher for JT.
I think he was more of a midfielder when he was at Milan.
@@jamesinhenley the lowest he finished at chelsea was 6th.
Vidic was a beast 🔥
Vidic was in Torres' s pocket all the time
I am a Liverpool fan, I have been going the game since I was 4 and John Terry was the best CB I have seen in the premier league until Virgil came along. The only players I have seen live who were better are Maldini, Cannavaro and Ramos. JT was absolutely unbelievable.
Let’s not forget Maldini was primarily a left back too, how he could play both positions so comfortably was mind blowing
@@adamantbloke scary mate
Nice to see some respect from a Liverpool fan. I feel a lot of modern football fans (not just Liverpool fans) are quick to forget how good certain players of the past were, or just simply didn't watch them.
JT, while a deplorable person, was still one of the absolute best, and he was at that level for around 15 years. If VVD is still doing it for a similar amount of time (15 likely out of the question as he's already 30, with 4 and a half seasons at Liverpool) and plays every single minute of a title winning campaign at 35, I'd say the torch would be passed.
@@metalswifty23 I think it's more new "social media" fans mate. They're more bothered about making funny memes than the actual game and history of it.
I'm a Liverpool man myself and Roy keane is one of my favourite players of all time.
Fair comment. I watched VvD at Southampton and even then couldn't believe he had been missed by the bigger clubs, almost perfect as a defender.
JT, like his clubmate and compatriot get underrated purely because of their off the field shenanigans. Purely based on their on pitch acheivements both would make an all time PL XI.
Stroking egos, especially Rio's. He even put himself as No.1. LOL. He wasn't as good as Stam, no chance. Sir Alex's biggest mistake that he admitted himself was letting him go. An absolute colossal defender.
Spot on 💯
Rio is only just about the best Ferdinand lol 😂
But his passing is quite remarkable
@@ronishshrestha7111 He was world-class Rio don't get me wrong, but he also had Vidic next to him. Rio said it about Stam himself, Stam could marshal the entire defensive half of the pitch practically single-handed. Van Dijk is the closest I've seen to Stam since.
Anton has always been the better Ferdinand
Ricardo Carvalho needed to be there he was a fantastic defender 👍
As an Arsenal fan its criminal that Adams or Campbell weren't in instead of Hyypia.
For the younger fans - Adams played in an Arsenal defence that kept 25 cleansheets in one season. He was a colossus at the back in his prime and one of the greatest leaders the British game has ever seen. His dominance in the air, aggression, strength, leadership and organisational skills were up there with the best. But it was his positioning and timing of his tackling that were exceptional for him. I lost count of the times a striker would be through only for Mr Arsenal get in a last ditch tackle and take the ball away from his man.
Where Adams is lacking a little compared to some other names is his lack of mobility - same as Hyypia, Vidic, JT.
On the ball he wasn't as comfortable as some of the guys on this list, but what he didn't have in that area he made up in the other areas of his game.
Ferdinand said it best about Sol, he was such an athlete and so strong and fast, probably physically the strongest defender on this list, and so hard to beat 1vs1 but could have been better on the ball.
Vidic is top in almost every defensive stats, Terry is second to him. But he exceeds Vidic in goalscoring which isn't even defensive Stat.
He said he put sami hyypia because he was a Liverpool legend
As a Liverpool fan, Hyppia is definitely a top 3. Dominated in the air, good reading of games, legend!
@@robbielee4984 Hyypia is like the "Aldi version" of Adams.
@@gladiatorscoops4907 Adams definitely not as dominated in the air as Hyppia, both defend and attack
The ideal center back is a rock that opposition attacks break against and out of all these center backs vidic best fits that. Passing and playmaking is for midfielders and attackers, at least one of your center backs just has to be a stopper and that was vidic when he was partnered with rio. In their prime I would have picked vidic ahead of rio and I bet most attakcers at the time would rather have any cb in their way than nemanja vidic. The guy was a beast.
1. Maguire
2. Vidic
3. Terry
4. VVD
5. Ferdinand
6. Kompany
7. Stam
Overall:
1. Maguire-Jones-Mustafi (can't pick too hard)
2. Beckenbauer
3. Maldini
4. Baresi
5. Nesta
6. Moore
7. Scirea
8. Cannavaro
9. Desailly
10. Puyol
😂😂
Respect Mustafi
Where tf is Cygan on the list?
Bramble and Mings clear
I would put djimi traore in there, he made sure his team mates are on their toes, he normalize calamity
Can't believe vidic isn't in his list 😳
Hyppia was class, loved him growing up thought we found a gem with Agger but when we got VVD damm what an upgrade on those 2.
I think Lucas Radebe was insanely underrated he and Rio were the main reasons why Leeds were so dominant in the early 00s
Lucas Radebe wasn't starting regularly when Leeds were good in the early 00s. For the 18 months Rio was there he usually played with Dom Matteo.
Dominant? Leeds’ best league finish was 3rd on one occasion.
Don't forget Woodgate. He was pretty decent.
Yeah Radebe was a beast! Defo underrated. Also that time they had Yeboah upfront scoring worldies!
Radebe "Chief" was insanely good man
But yeah unfortunately very underrated
Vidic not being on that list is awful, that man was the most amazing centre back I’ve seen in the Prem. Definitely above Ferdinand, no bias btw I’m not a Utd fan I support Villa but Vidic was a machine.
Vidic>Terry>Stam>Van Dijk,Adams>Ferdinand.(rest I didn’t follow enough to judge)
@@vandal_dk Dunno about United fans now, but back then majority of United fans including myself rated Vidic as the better defender. I mean he's the only defender to win POTY for 2 seasons in the league as well. Guy was massively rated in those days, I remember it all
As a Willem II supporter and us being a small team in the Netherlands it does make me proud to have 2 legends in this list that played for us plus virgil himself starting there as well.
JT gotta be number 1 had everything in the locker but pace !
And he made up for that with exceptional positioning and ability to read the game.
I think every Liverpool fan here is saying John Terry cause they don't want Ferdinand or Vidic to be number one. Come on even as a Arsenal fan I consider Vidic to be number one. John Terry was a Traditional defender multiplied by 2 hen was nothing more than a CB where as Vidic excels in defending far more than JT and Ferdinand was a special kind of defender.
VIDIC is the ONLY defender to win Two player of the year awards in the Premier League Ever.
He didn't need pace ..read the game ..best CB ever in premier league
Nah, just look at him get cooked by ljundberg when he still had a hair. He's strong and great cb but c'mon he had more silly mistakes than vidic or rio.
1. Terry
2. Ferdinand
3. Adams
4. Van Dijk
5. Kompany

Nothing without the pace
Has to be JT. Best numbers in terms of clean sheets and goals and had great longevity unlike the others.
He has the numbers because he played by far the longest.
@@pappy374 he’s got more more average clean sheets than all of them
He played in the most defensive team under mourinho. Terry isn’t even close to vidic
@@24sumo what are u smoking 😂😂
@@24sumo most cleansheets by a defender, prems highest scoring defender, most best defender awards in Europe, defender with most appearances FIFproXI, defender with the most player of the season awards I could go on
Terry was clear of them all but off the pitch killed his overall image
Great ball stealing and wife stealing technique
@@albertk3038 incredible comment 😂
Nope. Ferdinand could defend, was not dirty, could pass, could go forward, didn't get many cards through out his career. Was a leader. End of conversation.
VIDIC is the ONLY defender to win Two player of the year awards in the Premier League Ever.
Vidic is top in almost every defensive stats, Terry is second to him. But he exceeds Vidic in goalscoring which isn't even defensive Stat.
Vidic, Stam, John Terry, Carvalho and Rio 🔥
I went and watched prime united (with the ronaldos, rooneys etc) and Vidic was head and shoulders the best player on the pitch, the games I saw anyway. Monstorous and no nonsense defending and amazing in the air. Rio is class but he partnered with someone that made life relatively easy for him.
same opinion. Vidic made The life of others easy
1) JT
2) Vidic
3) Rio
4) VVD (he will likely move up the list)
5) Adams
Hard to disagree with that to be fair.. Sol Campbell was unreal for a while too but Terry carvaliho and rio and vidic were the best partner ships I've ever seen in the PL.
Kim pant over adams
VIDIc was The only defender and 4th player to win 2 pl player of the season award with De Henry, De Ronaldo and De Bryune...
Criminally underrated. one of the greatest when it comes to defenders. Ferdinand, Terry, Kompany, Van Dijk are rock solid but but but, Vidic was above them...
VVD’s intelligence and reading of the game is why he’s a world class CB love the fact he’s still learning and listening talking to Rio glad to see him balling out again
JT at no.4 is insane, JT was a world class defender, dude was like a striker in the oppositions half the headers, goals by foot the leadership shxt Kompany can't be above him stop playing VVD... Terry should be no.1 on that list... I swear JTs heading was better than most strikers in his Era even today's strikers couldn't score headers from the penalty spot🤣"from set pieces" JT is not to be messed with VVD.
JT maybe not the fastes CB, but his intelligence, strong read, organized defenced and long pass, set different with others legendary CB.
Decent list but lets be straight, John Terry is the best CB to play in the premier league. Statistically and on the eye
Not sure “on the eye” as in good to watch, but he’s 100%, easily, the best CB to play in the Premiership! Not even close imo
Agree with both , he was outrageous
I think every Liverpool fan here is saying John Terry cause they don't want Ferdinand or Vidic to be number one. Come on even as a Arsenal fan I consider Vidic to be number one. John Terry was a Traditional defender multiplied by 2 hen was nothing more than a CB where as Vidic excels in defending far more than JT and Ferdinand was a special kind of defender.
@@shakuntalashirgaonkar498 What a joke of a comment? No one in premier league history was better at 'defending' than John Terry and Ferdinand was deffinetly not 'special' he just had pace. Terry was a better tackler than both, far better passer, far better with both feet, far better in the other box, and a genuine leader. Most people agree Terry is the premier centre back
@@shakuntalashirgaonkar498 joke of a comment, JT was passing 30 yard balls with both feet before it was cool, amazing goal scorer and set piece threat too. Had world class career, played every single minute and won the league even when he was 35 in 14/15.
Vidic was a beast gets in every time ahead of ferdinand
I always liked Hyypia, glad he is still remembered today
Vidic amazingly overlooked
Premier Leagues best centreback
Imagine if he was English
Statue in every city
Stam and Vidic would be my best center defense partnership between both had similar strengths but also Vidic was the best header of the ball and Stam was one of the fastest center backs who could tackle and win the ball under the severest of pressure.
Vidic because he is not in media gets over looked. He was two time player of the year. He made Rio look nice.
So humble man
Fair play putting rio first but vidic was phenomenal as well
vidic was better than everyone in the list
@@diptasudarshan860 No he wasn't. Way too rash
@@diptasudarshan860 yes! Agreed 👍🏻🙂

Apart from when he played against Liverpool. Always pooped his pants
Sol Campbell one of the most underrated players in the history full package as Ferdinand said strong agile fast leader tall big and also he is 93kg such a monster at air and crazy in 1v1s I was watching football since 1996 and Campbell was in my top 10 of best defenders in the history (in my opinion)
Soulless Campbellend as Spurs fans would call him 🤣
Proper tower at the back
Love Rio's silence when VVD starts talking abou Terry lol hilarious.
Adams would be giving lessons to every one of these defenders
Yes Adams should be the first name on that list that Arsenal defence was solid winning 1-0 all the time
Tony Adams. The only Captain to win the League title in 3 different decades 🔥 🔥 🔥
Barely qualified for the last 1.

Feeding Rio's ego abit at the start haha love it. Big up big men
Good job he’s humble because if he put himself in this and then did what he did on sat it would have been curtains
John Terry miles ahead of them unfortunately off the pitch problems damaged his reputations
Terry not even the best CB in his pairing
Haha gta love the John terry shouts. Not even close to vidic
No. Stam and Mercel Desailly.
1) Terry
2) Kompany
3) Van Dijk
4) Rio
5) Stam
Kompany lol
VFD So much humble Great 👍
Dijk talking about presents like it's Christmas 😉
The fact he never put JT at no1 means this video is irrelevant
man utd seriously missed that vidic-ferdinand pair
they ve not been the same ever since
I wish they put Joel Matip and VVD would of said the man the legend whilst holding that T-shirt picture of him 🥰
I love how underrated JT is by everyone lol hilariously underrated.
Come on if anybody says Vidic wasn't the greatest premierleague defender ever, he is baised. Even as a Arsenal fan I can undoubtedly say that I have never seen someone so exceptionally talented in defending in the premier league ever.
Stam was everything that Vidic was but much much better mobility. Where as JT did everything as good as Vidic, dealt with pacey players better than Vidic used to despite his lack of mobility too and JT played at the top of his game for longer than Vidic, so that's why JT is held in higher regard. No bias here, im an Arsenal fan btw.
Vidic was reckless no?
Vidic was too error prone.
Vidic is so underrated, he read the game brilliantly constantly making interceptions which he never got credit for. Peerless in the air as well. He has about 2 bad games against Torres and everyone harps on(Liverpool fans create myths all the time) about it even though Torres could do nothing against him in the other 15 or so games.
Top 5 in PL history (based purely on defensive ability and consistency)
1.John Terry
2. Tony Adams
3. Sol Campbell
4. Nemanja Vidic
5. Rio Ferdinand
Tony Adams is a legendary captain and leader, but him and Sol Campbell ahead of Rio and Vidic as actual players and defenders….what!? 😂😂

jt all the way, rio i think was a bit overated.
Would be fun to see his favs among all leagues
Such a father son moment there 😅
Shocked absolutely SHOCKED Vidic didn't make that top 5!! United fans knows Vidic was the strong one between him and Rio.
It says a lot about their personalities when Rio puts himself as #1 and VVD leaves himself out!

He won 6 premier league so it make sense and he was they key defender with vidic for many years

@@seamusmacgabhainn4513 plot twisted i said he was a key defender during his time and he is there always with the best premier league defender always.
@@mebrahtomgebremeskel5307 the only reason he is is because of nostalgic United fans. He was never mentioned as an all time great defender during his playing days, in fact there was debate whether he was good enough at times, prone to stupid errors and clumsily throwing himself into things. Virgil has put so much fear into attackers they don't even bother going against him, akin to how defenders are scared to make a tackle against Messi in fear of being embarrassed. There's levels to this game and Rio isn't up to VVDs. John Stones and Rio have mirroring careers.
Humbleness is the key to success
Adam, Rio, Terry, Kompany, Campbell.
Not put Van Dijk in as he's still playing but defo would be in there.
Vidic is the best premier league defender of all time.
Imo it’s
1. Harry Maguire
2. John Terry
3. Vidic
4. Tony Adams
5. Van Dijk
(Both Stam, Kompany and Ferdinand could have easily made the list aswell.
Arsenal fans be screaming “ where’s Ben white” 🤣🤣
Vidic was and is the best Defender premier league ever had. Nobody tackles like him anymore. It's just that he was not in Premier league his whole career that's why people put Ferdinand and Terry above him. Never saw a defender like him ever.
Not sure how any football fan wouldn't have John Terry at number 1, he is by far the greatest PL CB of all time. My ranking is below:
1 John Terry
2 Nemanja Vidic
3 Rio Ferdinand
4 Vincent Kompany
5 Sol Campbell/ Virgil Van Dijk
defo a united fan visit was trash
1) Van Dijk 2) Vidic 3) Terry 4) Ferdinand 5) Stam
Vidic has to be on this list. No he wasn’t the best on the ball but as a defender he could literally do it all and takes no prisoners. If I was building a championship team he would be the first defender on the team sheet
It's nice to see VVD praising others. Btw Staam is nota surprise here. Roy Keane also put him in his favourite team.
This might be a hot take but I think Rio was a tad bit overrated I thought vidic was better then him.
Well overrated
Rio in Leeds and earlier career in United was a monster no one really knows Vidic before United! Give RIO is respect
@@coolestseun8521 never a monster. Good player .. definitely overrated, most certainly not the best ever in PL.
100% overrated, just imagine vidic and ferdinand would swap nationality. Nobody would talk about ferdinand and Vidic would be the best CB of all time.
Vidić was the best player among all of them 🔥😎
He must've watched the "Vidic is better than Van Dijk" comparison vids, hence the reason why he underrates him. Vidic is one of the best to every do it..absolute beast!!
1. Terry
2. Kompany
3. Tony Adams
4. Van Djik
5. Stam
John Terry is the greatest PL centre back of all time.
Unexpected episode. These two gentlemen are the crème de la crème of centre-backs
Harry Mageze would be the crème de la crème de la crème.
Collect Them together equalling to one man which is Maldini ❤️👑
Rio Ferdinand looked furious when Virgil picked his opp as number 4 😂
