Best Bolton Defender

We've not had any good defenders for a long time, but we once had a player called Gudni Bergsson, bought for £65k from Spurs. Probably the best signing of all time.

The guy was rock solid, totally unflappable. He was also a great leader, another thing we lack under Owen Coyle.

Can anyone rival Gudni? Mark Fish was brilliant when he first arrived (remember his debut in a 0-0 draw against Man Utd?), but went off the boil after a lengthy injury.

I agree, Gudni was the best defender I can remember - and he cost so little.

Mears isn't fit to clean his boots.

Yep Gudni or N'Gotty for me.

(Gudni is out infront of N'gotty by a distance though)

both had guts, desire, class and never took a game off.

Gudni for me too, though Faye was a cracking centre back IMO.

I agree with Gudni. A lot of fans forget about Vinnie Candela, now he was a decent full back.

Laville was superb for his initial loan spell as well.

(obviously not best ever, just in terms of impact.)

It's Gudni for me !

Mark Came.

Who?

Wiki says:
McAnespie moved to Bolton Wanderers in September 1995 for £900,000, featuring in around a dozen matches as Bolton were relegated to the Football Leagie First Division. McAnespie featured in a similar number of matches as Bolton gained promotion at the first attempt, winning the title by eighteen points. He played in a handful of matches at the start of the 1997-98 season.

I can honestly say I don't remember him and don't understand why you would say I forgot him...Guessing you don't agree with my selections...

Tony Dunne and Paul Jones from the old days are certainly worth a mention.

Paul Jones was the best centre half never to get the England call-up. We just were not fashionable enough at the time.

Nothing new there.

Gudni by a mile. I also rated Gerry Taggart highly. Didn't Mark Came score two goals direct from corners against Bournemouth once ?

Paul Jones
