The idea that Rio taled off in his later years at Utd is a myth ,the man was literally in the PFA team of the year in 2013, the only bad season he had was 13/14 at utd even then he just got too many injuries.....The man won 6 PL titles and was in the team of the year 6 times both those achievements are the most by any defender, not to mention he rejected both Real Madrid and Barca between 06 and 2009

Reason in votes Terry tops him normally because Terry never went to a club to not try and helped get them relegated unlike Ferdinand (votes are a popular vote) But then again does mean there are more QPR fans then those who care about racism, read in to that as you like.

I really think you should have gone on to talk about Campbell's time at Pompey. He built a really strong partnership with first Linvoy Primus in 2007 and then Sylvain Distin in 2008 and captained the side to their first FA win cup since 1939. A lot of big club fans dismissed him once he left Arsenal but in my opinion, it's once some of these players go to smaller clubs that you really see their class shine.

Maybe its my Chelsea bias but I just can't understand why anyone would ever pick Ferdinand over Terry. Its not even close IMO. Terry had a higher peak and better longevity, not to mention his leadership skills and the criminally underrated technical aspect of his game. He wasn't a Vidic or Adams who were far more fundamental defenders, Terry scored goals, had great composure on the ball and excellent distribution.

You say that Rio ended up at Cardiff .. *QPR whilst Terry was wining the league towards the end of their careers however Ferdinand was Playing UCL football at Leeds all the While John Terry was slumming it out at a mid table Chelsea side ? There's always two sides to an argument. As a United fan who witnessed both players in their prime, I do personally think that Terry was ever so slightly ahead of Rio in his prime however I'd have Nemanja Vidic ahead of both of them, anyday. I'd also have Ricardo Carvalho ahead of both Adams & Campbell. Nonsensical argument though ,need better material mate lol

It's the same as comparing Maldini and Nesta. Both have their strengths and weaknesses but Rio was a better footballer overall and offered more to the team in counter attacking transitions. Vidic was the perfect no nonsense partner bailing his team out of trouble at the expense of his own body. That commitment and aggression made him a fan favorite but Rio Ferdinand was simply better.

Vidic 100% deserves the second spot, he is the only defender to get premier league player of the year twice. He had better stats than VVD in almost every aspect and he also had better prime than Terry. And I'm not even joking. Anyone who had watched him play would say this. Both VVD and Terry are seriously good but definitely Vidic had more talent than them.

And Udinese a few years signed players like Roberto Pereyra, Deulofeu, Okaka and Zeegelaar etc. who are all former Watford players. Like do the owners like each other what is it between the two clubs that sign each other's players.

Terry was 19 taking the place of desailly eventually and set a defensive record in the epl being 15 goals conceded all season and he was still young at this age. All rio has over him is pace, which makes me wonder more about the bias. Schmeichel was 1st even though Cech was better statistically and then Ferdinand is 1st yet statistically Terry was better

The reason people have a problem with Sol Campbell and it's not just Spurs fans but some football fans in general. Is and it's happened many times before in football Sol Campbell is one of the most well known examples. It's players giving a club their word that they are going to sign a new contract. Then stalling giving all sorts of reasons why they are not signing immediately. Only to refuse to sign when the transfer window closes so they could leave on a free. Again Sol Campbell is one of the most well known cases but, it has happened many times before.
