Ranking Liverpool centre-backs of the Premier League era following Skrtel’s new deal

Posted by

2) Jamie Carragher

It’s near impossible to split the top two, and they are both Anfield legends in their own rights. Carragher is the definition of a one club player, and made over 700 appearances for Liverpool.

He spent 17 years at the club (not including his time as a youth player), and was a huge part of our defensive stability in seasons gone by. His nonsense attitude and completely uncompromisable commitment to the cause makes him one our favourite ever players, but it’ll be difficult for anyone to top our powerhouse Finn in coming years.

1) Sami Hyypia

Hyypia was not only arguably our best centre-back, he was one of the best in the Europe during his time at Anfield. He was a huge part of the treble winning 2000/01 side – not to mention the Champions League winning side of 2005 – and was a superb captain as well.

The fact that we picked him up for a pittance in 1999 makes it even sweeter, and after a decade at the club he unquestionably goes down as a Liverpool legend.
