Bill Foulkes
is martin buchan one of the greatest man united defenders?
if so where would you put him in the list of greatest defenders (e.g. 1st jaap stam 2nd bill foulkes 3rd martin buchan)
Not only was Martin Buchan a greta defender but he was also a great captain. I saw him play many times in the cavaliers ide that came up from the old 2nd Division. The team at the time, from memory was Bailey, Houston, Nichol, Greenhoff (Brian), Buchan, Daly, Maccari, Greenhoff (Jimmy), Pearson and Hill with Arthur Albiston and Mcreery playing occasionally. We finished third that season with 56 points behind Liverpool on 60, In those days it was 2 points for a win and 1 for a draw. It is difficult to make a list as the standards and style of play has changed so much over the years. I started watching in 1955 as a boy and saw Mark Jones, one of the Busby Babes who died at Munich, and Bill Foulkes in their heyday. To me Bill was our best centre half on the assumption that any player is as good as the standards at the time. Martin Buchan was more of a ‘half back’ or ‘midfielder’ as we call them now. Central defenders I rate highly would be Bill Foulkes, Nemanja Vidic, Steve Bruce, Gary Pallister, Rio Ferdinand, Jaap Stam and Jim Holton. Martin would be in there probably about the aap Stam level, remember he did play a season in the 2nd Division and only won a Cup W inners Medal. Still, a great player. I remember him appearing on TV singing and playing guitar too.
