[@Timliu92]

No Paolo Maldini? Seriously, I think even a shoutout or honourable mention is not enough for the guy. He was not only a great captain but also one of the greatest defenders in football history. At the same time, what about Javier Zanetti?

[@williamj5958]

A human may have died, but a legend lives on forever. RIP Johan Cruyff

[@FootballDaily]

We couldn't include everyone lads! Few good shouts for Puyol, Lahm, Cafu & Maldini! Any others?

[@mahirhussain4890]

Bobby Moore

[@Grnvolpe]

+Football Daily Do you know what Captaining is? It's not being a great player or winning things while you're captain. Take out Maradonna and Tony Adams and put Maldini and Terry

[@mahirhussain4890]

Ben Lowe Terry is superior to Adams? In what way? If anything they are both similar

[@mahirhussain4890]

Ben Lowe Only bit I agree with you is technically, I think Terry is a better technical player but in terms of heading and all the other attributes you listed I don't see much difference. The fact is people like to compare players that are similar and this debate as to who is better between them has been going on for sometime, which is inevitable, other similar players like Messi and Maradona get inevitably compared because they are similar, its natural but as I said I don't see a gap between Terry and Adams, I just think they are on a par and sadly both are a dying breed

[@redaalameer2710]

John Terry !!!!

[@haroung6150]

[@Grnvolpe]

Can we stop using "the flying Dutchman" for every Dutch player in football. It's just lazy annoying at this point. Also, Maradonna wasn't a great captain

[@joserivera5007]

you have to be an idiot to think maradona wasn't a great captain.

[@Grnvolpe]

Jose Rivera No. He was a great player, but he didn't really "lead" his team. Specially in his later years where he would start fights a the drop of a dime

[@joserivera5007]

+Carlos Gallon go say that to Napoli and or argentina. just answer me this what has argentina won since he left in 1994 about 22 years ago?

[@Grnvolpe]

Jose Rivera Off the top of my head, the Copa America. But trophies are besides the point.If Maradona was a great captain simply because the team won trophies then it could just as easily be said that Gerrard was not that great a captain because his Liverpool never won the League

It's just opinion but some players are great players who have success as captains but John Terry is a great captain. He's better than most on this list in terms of leading his team and defending his teammates. And he became captain at around 21
