Greatest Ever XI - Centre-Backs

The Greatest Ever Blackburn Rovers Squad had been finalised, now we have the Starting XI's central defenders! These man Colin Hendry & Ryan Nelsen.

Eventually it was decided that the final selection of the four centre-backs to get into this squad would be, Mike England, Derek Fazackerley, Colin Hendry, & Ryan Nelsen. From these four with 34% of the vote EACH, most feel the defenders should be

Colin Hendry & Ryan Nelsen.

Congratulations to Hendry and Nelsen for becoming the latest names inducted into the Greatest Ever Rovers XI.

Don't forget this selection process, CAN and WILL alter over time so if you DON'T AGREE WITH THIS have your say about making a change by clicking here.

The current poll, suggested by Clint continues his overrated series and is asking your opinion on, "Most overrated European based players?"
