but when he finally did break into the team - woah! What a player, remember thinking Stubbs' days were numbered with him as competition.

We had some fantastic centre backs in the noughties and early 10s - Yobo, Lescott, Jags, Dustin, Weir who I thought was very underrated and Stubbs was generally solid if not quite on the level of the aforementioned.

Then we transitioned to the likes of Alcaraz, Funes Mori, Williams et al.
