Maldini and Carlos get my vote.

Maldini and Cafu, probably the two best wing back of all time.

you could be right comme, but i picked lizerazu and thuram for today - one can really tell the difference with lizerazu back in the bayern side

Samuel cos of his shocking omission from the centre back poll. And Cafu cos he's just plane great.

But where is Bernard?

sure its cheesy, but....... bump

comme · Mar 3, 2003

I'm sure this will seem biased to everyone else but was Stevie Carr left out because this is only on recent form or because you don't think he's good enough?

Dark Savante · Mar 3, 2003

Maldini is no longer a wingback.

Gimme Cafu and R Carlos... If we're talking all thru their career's then of course Cafu and Maldini but as of right right now i'll take Carlos and Cafu

afgrijselijkheid · Mar 3, 2003

to be honest, i didnt think of carr - i like him a lot but he probably wouldnt make the final 8

dmar · Mar 3, 2003

I vote for Roberto Carlos and Puyol.

afgrijselijkheid · Mar 3, 2003

looks like a fight for the second spot

SankaCofie · Mar 4, 2003

they all suck.

afgrijselijkheid · Mar 4, 2003

puyol with some late support

Oscar · Mar 5, 2003

I picked Roberto Carlos and Puyol.

I don't think Roberto Carlos is so great as a defender, but what he brings to the fold offensively more than makes up for that.

Picked Puyol only to have him on the team... and then move him to the centre back position where he belongs.

Father Ted · Mar 5, 2003

Add Carr to the list and then I'll vote.

afgrijselijkheid · Mar 5, 2003

i guess well have to do without you then

afgrijselijkheid · Mar 5, 2003

starters - nesta & stam
in the dugout - rio

I agree with your reasoning. Since Carlos and Maldini are both left backs I basically ended up picking Cafu over Maldini as Roberto is better now than Paolo but maybe not over their entire careers.
