If you can find someone to second him, I'll add him to to the short list (or ban two people ;) )

Agreed. These are the two stand-out CBs of the PL era. The alternative is overestimating Mabbutts contribution in his last few years or picking someone with only recent vintage.

Agree or disagree with the final judgement, he has to be on the list.

An alternative approach might have been to pick the best CB pairing. King and Dawson would have a good shout. If we include King-Woodgate, we might as well include our current Belgian pair [yes, I can't remember Toby's name].
 
So as it stands the short list is:

King
Mabbutt
Woodgate
Alderweireld
Naybet
Gallas
Dawson
Vertonghen
clamball

Anyone missing?
 
I'll add the poll at 10pm unless we get any late cases for a player to be included
 
Always liked Dean Richards, the poor guy, although he is not exactly King calibre, or Alderweireld for that matter. Ramon Vega, don't think so. Then there's Scales, Rocha, Bunjevcevic, Davenport, Nelsen...my GHod we've had some average dross over the past 20 years or so.

Dean Richards isn't a bad shout but he is somewhere short of the quality of the others on the list
 
Really wanted for Mabbs or Daws, Spurs through and through, but in reality the King's partner has to be Toby. Outstanding season.
 
Naybet was OK, but I think his influence over King has been increasingly romanticised over the years.
He only played 30 games for us, 27 in his first season, 3 in his second...a decent player but just can't be considered a Spurs great.

King and Dawson for me.

I was having a chat with the lads I go to the games with and we all agreed that over the years we have had more poor players at CB then anywhere else on the field.

Naybet barely played.
 
Your cards are marked @Greg - I'm going to start a best football club owner poll and encourage everyone to vote for Ashley.
 
should have got in to this earlier but i think Alderwiereld shouldn't have been included as he's only been here one season - as great as he has been this season i don't think it's enough time to warrant be included in an all time premier league side. and if we're talking purely in terms of ability then it's hard to look past Judas by that criteria...

for me it's King & Dawson
