This coming from Terry is nothing short of laughable.

Absolute bollocks... Can't stand this tosser. The sooner Capello appoints Rio as captain, the better.

England captain John Terry has shocked Liverpool and Chelsea fans alike by admitting Jamie Carragher is the ‘best defender in the world’.

Terry and Carragher are often recognised as the most courageous centre defenders in England, the rocks on which the defences of Chelsea and Liverpool are established.

Such is their style that it is often believed only one can play for England – never together – alongside Rio Ferdinand.

While Terry has gone on to skipper his country, Carragher was overlooked for the likes of Wes Brown by former England coach Steve McClaren, a decision Terry clearly disagrees with.

"I personally think that over the last four or five years he has been the best defender in the world,” said the Chelsea man.

"He has everything you need to be a world class defender and you also have to look at what he's achieved in The Champions League with Liverpool.”


Terry also rubbished claims made by some that Carragher is an overrated defender, whose game is limited purely to defending.

"He's been consistent in The Premier League, he's never injured, he always gives one hundred per cent, he's a good reader of the game, he's quick and is good in the air,” Terry continued.

"For a centre half he's also great on the ground as well. He knows when to get the ball away, when to clear his lines.

"He also never stops talking to his team-mates and that's a great thing to have. Even when you watch games on the television it's always his voice you can hear."

Never a truer word spoken by Mr. Terry. (Hello Funk)

what a bogus statement. Own goals Carragher is far from the world's best. You only need to look down the M-62 to see at least 4 defenders better than him (Neville, Rio, Vidic, Richards).

YOu're back... 6 months later.

Time for you to be devil's advocate around here...

P.S. JT is full of shit. Carragher couldn't start on United. Or Chelsea... Or Arsenal.

carra would probably start over senderos for arsenal ... hes good .. but so are king and dunne :s

terry has lost his mind (whatever little he had) since the arsenal player kicked him in the head last season

Carragher is the best central defender in Liverpool without doubt.Maybe JT meant in Liverpool's world not our world.Stop drinkin JT!!!

[Silas "Subpoena" Awaketh]

"Carra" is not the best defender even in Liverpool, Lescott has owned him big time this season.

*Possible spoilers ahead*


Anyways, thank you for strengthening "JT's" aforementioned comments "Carra", with your superb and timely performance last night!

He's too old! Ferdinand and Vidic own carragher and Terry so meh. Our defenders score loads of goals and keep clean sheets!

[moo-]
