None of the Premier League’s current defenders have hit the heights of the greats of yesteryear

#3 Wes Morgan

Morgan captained Leicester to the title

Leicester’s captain fantastic may be too high on this list for some, but the year he had leading the Foxes to perhaps the most shocking title win of our lifetimes, is something very few players will experience, and would be a travesty to downplay.

Even with Leicester’s slump in form in the latter half of 2016, the impression Morgan made seemingly game after game in the spring, be it through organisation, clearances, and even vital goals, could be held up as some of the most inspired in league history.

The epitome of leadership down the stretch, everyone appeared to buy into the belief that the impossible was going to happen, and his performance to push the team 7 points clear at the top against Southampton in April will certainly stay with Leicester fans for some time.
