Modern (ish) era

Gudni Bergson?

Alan Stubbs?

Hierro?

Campo?

 

 

Just out of interest, If you could have any one of them at their peak, who would you have to partner Cahill?

Should/Could Laville not make that short list? I know he wasnt with us long, but he made a huge impression whilst he was here.

Bergsson

 

Would sort out Cahill

 

BTW Could Cahill play in front of the back four?

Cahill would make a good defensive midfielder.

 

But then we've no centre halves!

gudni had his limitations but more than made up for it with proper application, consistency, and he actually improved as the side improved by reading the game better. For me he was on a par with Paul Jones but i'd put him ahead.

Did Hierro play Centre half for us?

 

Stubbs? get fucked.

Paul Jones.

Paul Jones.

 

Most probably.

Stubbs? get fucked.

 

 

He was good at scaring the shit out of us with his backward headers to the 'keeper

Bergsson

 

N'Gotty , at his best ,was better than any of the others.

Don't forget Chris Fairclough and Bruno N'Gotty both where excellent centre halves too.

Agree Florent Laville was the dbs in the majority of games he played in that I watched and a great partner to Bruno N'gotty who, in my opinion was the steadiest defender we have had in the last 12 years. Couldn't have done much about Laville getting the cruciate ligament injury but Bruno was let go a full season before he should have been, so you've got to ask whether there was any truth in the tale that he had fallen out with someone in a position of authority over his love life.

I remember something about that, who was it again?

Another one at PG's wife?

Maybe my memories playing tricks, but weren't his best games for us at centre half?

Stubbs was one of the few Bolton centre halves who could actually pass a ball

Aye they were good, and Laville was decent too. I used to think Mark Winstanley was ok back in the day.

Mad Ged Taggart?

 

IMO Gudni is head and shoulders above the rest of em.

peter valentine

gerry mcelhinney ,ha ha.

Malcolm Barrass and Paul Jones were the best two centre halves I've seen playing for Bolton closely followed by Gudni.

Does anyone rate Mark Fish?? I thought he was class for us until he decided he didnt want to stick around!! He did tend to drift forward a bit to often and leave space at the back, a bit like Cahill

Also thought Simon Coleman, was a great centre half, I dont think he really recovered from his broken leg though

I remember something about that, who was it again?

 

PG's wife was mentioned in the rumours at the time. Think 'Diver is correct.

If you say at their peak, then Hierro. No doubt

Hierro wasn't at his peak for us.

 

And if he did play CB, it wasn't often.

 

And, somewhat more controversially: his good games for us could be counted without using all your fingers.

The best pairing I have seen were Jones and Allardyce. Worked superbly. I recall the press referring to them as the Twin Towers.
