Best of the TLW era - you decide: Centre Backs

The 100th and final issue of ‘The Liverpool Way’ is fast approaching and we’re looking to get your input on a series of articles featuring ‘the best of’ the TLW era, which spans from August 1999 when the first issue was printed, to now as we prepare to declare once reaching a century.

Over the coming weeks we’ll ask for your votes on various subjects, such as best goal, best game (may have to include a ‘that didn’t take place in Istanbul’ disclaimer on that one), best signing, worst signing and all the usual stuff.

Firstly though we’re picking the best team of the last 16 years. We’ve had the goalkeepers and full backs (right backs here, left backs here) so let’s complete the back four with the central defenders. This is probably the most straightforward one but we’ll see.

For simplicity, these have been listed in pairs and it’s been narrowed down to Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia, Daniel Agger and Stephane Henchoz. Perhaps Martin Skrtel could have made the shortlist too but a line had to be drawn at four contenders so he narrowly missed out.
