Throughout his professional football career, former Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur forward Peter Crouch has singled out Chelsea legend John Terry as the most formidable defender he encountered.
While facing numerous top defenders, Crouch specifically highlighted Terry as exceptionally challenging.
During an interview on the Hawksbee & Jacobs Show on talkSPORT, Crouch shared his thoughts:
“One of my earliest memories was being outplayed by Tony Adams in a cup match when I was at QPR. Although it wasn’t in the Premier League, I recall the presence of Tony Adams and possibly Steve Bould as well.”
“In the course of my career, Sol Campbell posed a significant challenge due to his physical prowess. However, John Terry stands out as the toughest opponent I’ve encountered.”
