Anyone who claims that any player other than Baresi is the best ever defender has either never seen footage of Baresi in action, or is looking at a favourite player through rose tinted spectacles. I'd love to be able to honestly say that it should be Bobby Moore, Dave Mackay, Clive Wiggington, or somesuch. It wouldn't be honest. Nobody has ever combined skill, tenacity, athleticism, awareness, and sheer determination to fuck up the opposition, in the way Baresi did.

Julian.



Actually, Bobby Moore, a bit slow, not that strong, but it didn't matter as he just understood football inside out and had all the skills.
 
I just judged on those I've seen, and Maldini took it for me, but very close behind were Baresi, Desailly, Thuram and Cafu. Frank de Boer is worth a mention too.
 
How about Paul Breitner? One of only four men to score in two World Cup Finals. I never saw him but for a predominant defender he had an absolutely awesome scoring record (66 in 146 games for Bayern Munich).
