Yesterday we asked you, our Read Southampton followers, to vote in a winner stays on-style duel to determine who you think is the club’s greatest defender of all time.
Of course, there were players from the past and present included in the 10-man list but one player stood out from the rest and was the conclusive winner – based on recent events in the footballing world it’s not difficult to guess who he is.
We decided to offer this vote on the back of Yan Valery’s rise to prominence in Ralph Hasenhuttl’s plans this season, with the 19-year-old not only impressing defensively but also scoring in the last two games.
Those games were against Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur no less, so his ability to make an impact in big games can’t be doubted.
However, the 10 players included in this countdown also love/loved a big game too, so let’s crack into it.
