terrys the best la...hes like the best defender in the world...y do ppl call...other defender as....2nd john terry?...simply bcoz his the best defender and captain...to compare wif....he can lead he can influence he can inspire...he got the *roar* aura wif him...and his surely tough 1..the defending back line no need to worry...when got terry there...the striker do not need to run back to defend...wasting stamina...they can juz stay offencing...terry's absence is a big blow for both england and chelsea witout him there will b more wif goal concede....am i right?

stevie g..mm yea he has some power wif him and win some important game when losing ... hes tough can shoot hard run fast can tackle well but sumtimes rough abit... but dun think his captaincy will b better than terry...

sory if offended any1 peace =)

Just out of curiosity, what does being the best defender in the world (arguable) have to do with being a captain? Not all the best players in the world are captains of their clubs. Captaincy has more to do with a players attitude, no?

Is Terry even the 'best' defender in the world?

Charisma and PR are attributing factors when selecting a captain as the captain is the person that represents a club/country. Not many clubs would want a captain to come out calling fans as the 'prawn sandwich brigade' and not many managers would dare having a manager having a right go at his own player {thinks of poor little Phil Neville }.

i doubt it... they are a lot of good players around the world much better then him... either retired or still playing...
maybe he have a captaincy skills...

no hes not. not even in england.
im a liverpool suporter but roy keane is my choice.
stevie g can be great when he wants to. but roy is influencial everytime hes on the pitch.
a great leader.

Thierry Henry

Terry nt performing as before due to injuries..

If you ask me which is the best captain ever to have graced the premiership, Roy Keane without a doubt.
No one comes close when we talk about captaincy aura.

I as a united fan also vote gerrard...most influential captain this season

yes keane and tony adams, epl best captain of all time ...

i take owen the best captain..
or gary mcalister... hehehe

yeah i would say terry is the best defender in his class... remember about AF said.. keep away your ball from terry

i think its steven G, who keep driving liverpool forward...

hi i`m new here....i agree with u..captain marvel!!!!

I have to admit that stevie G is the captain of all captain in EPL..terry maybe a good defender but in terms of leadership i personally think that rio ferdinand and william gallas are better than him.

I don't think so. Terry being a punk more than a leader. What about taking the card from the ref's hand? Yes, if you're a captain, you must defend your subordinates. But taking the card from the ref is just too much. The best defender? Try beat Carragher, Ferdinand and Gallas first. Hell, put Vidic in as well. He is way way way better than your Terry.

As for the best captain at the moment, I would say yes to Gerrard. He lifts up the morale of the whole team. Rooney has the same characteristics but he is far far away from taking over the captaincy.

Incidentally, that's what they used to call Bryan Robson. Think you need a new monicker for our Stevie.

i think ferdinand & toure is the best defender in epl. terry? nop. he only love to shout & egomaniac. i think ballack deserve the captain than terry.
