Greatest Centre-Back pairing

[Ewell CFC]

Gallas was a flying machine, whilst Carvahlio was more street smart IMO.

Superb positional play, adept at blocking, holding and the assorted dark arts.

What about this as a back four.  ( Okay slightly off topic I accept.)

'Chopper' Harris and Eddie Mac as the full backs with JT and Carvalho as the centre backs.

I can't see many players getting past any of them, never mind all four !

Terry and Carvalho.

They were a defensive juggernaut.

chi and Jezz: No arguments from me regarding your respective choices.

Very controversial opinion but when I make my all time Chelsea XI I have Gallas over Cole.

Started watching Chelsea circa 2005 and Gallas and Lampard were my favorite players. Loved the former's attitude and passion.

I would go with Terry and Gallas over JT and Ricky for two reasons. One I think JT and Carvalho were a lot the same where Gallas had more speed and athleticism. And second because of Willie's goal against sp*rs.
