Wes Brown

Sir Alex Ferguson rates him as one of the best defenders he’s ever worked with and let’s be honest, his trophy cabinet doesn’t scream failure but if Wes Brown was so good, imagine how great he could have been had he not suffered a succession of long-term injuries throughout his formative years. Brown signed for Sunderland this summer and put in a Man of the Match performance to keep Liverpool quiet in his first game for the club so there is still hope.
