An era is coming to an end after John Terry announced he will leave Chelsea at the end of the season.
I've spoken about his qualities many times in these pages, so to look at what he has added to our game in a different way, I've decided to name my top 10 centre backs who have played in the Premier League.
This is something I've enjoyed compiling, because I've reflected on so many different centre backs, but it has also had a bittersweet feel, given the desperately sad news of Ugo Ehiogu's premature passing.

My type of defender, someone who would put his body in front of anything to stop a goal.
