Some interesting debate going on and our vey own Paul McGrath getting plenty of mentions. There's a poll that closes tomorrow and Macca is currently rated fourth best centre half ever!

Done my bit, voted for God, I really do not care about the rest so voted for those that least offend me. Cole obviously did not get my vote!

Thanks for putting the link on there Man With The Stick, I wasn't sure how to do it.
Looking at the comments, it's nice to see McGrath held so high by (I assume) many non-Villa fans.

Not a flawless list, but I can't think of many places that would choose their thirteen greatest central defenders and have McGrath in there. Particularly as Nev says, ahead of the likes of Rio and EBJT. Can you imagine him making the list in The Mirror or The Times?
So well done The Guardian for putting him in the shortlist.

Don't vote for the good ones, vote for the three shittest ones and McGrath, better chance of winning that way!

He is currently fourth in the centre-halves list... the two ahead of him are Moore and Baresi, so don't vote for them. Let's make this as fair as the Iranian Presidential Election.

Bergomi FFS might put myself up there.
Should be between Baresi, Maldini and Big Mac imo. Colin Calderwood as an outsider.

I'm not being biased when I say McGrath is the best central defender i've ever seen, I've watched Baresi, but McGrath was better.
Such a weird sixth sense he had that he could position himself knowing where the danger would come from, like a snooker player who thinks 3 shots ahead.
