People often talk about how rubbish scottish football is, and point to the fact that mediocre premiership players like Rod Wallace can turn up and bang the goals in. By my reckoning, 50 goals in a season is not bad going. Three times better than Rod Wallace? At least.... By the looks of it, the scottish premier league is going to be a good deal more competitive than the English Premiership.<BR/><BR/>As for defenders - here are some defenders I've loved:<BR/>Stuart Pearce<BR/>Tony Adams<BR/>Des Walker<BR/>John De Wolf<BR/>Andy Thompson<BR/>Roberto Carlos (although frankly I'm not sure he counts)<BR/><BR/>and so on.<BR/><BR/>Less showy than strikers, but if you're looking for passion, you can't go wrong with a good fist-pumping defender (nicely ruling out Rio Ferdinand)<BR/><BR/>STswisslethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708248700851998044noreply@blogger.com
