Sky were doing something similar the other day. Naming top keepers/defenders/midfielders/attackers of the year. They picked about 6 of each I think.
I was amazed when I watched the defenders bit, that Jagielka didn't even get a mention.
Clichy, Carragher, Glen Johnson, Laursen, Ferdinand and Vidic.
Good players but Jags has been outstanding since moving into defence on a permanent basis for us!
