He narrowly missed out on Italia '90, and England failed to qualify for USA '94.Italia '90 has a grip on English football, given that it was the last time England reached the semi-finals of the World Cup.It was the last time an England team truly thrilled the supporters, too, with so many of Sir Bobby Robson's squad proving iconic.Des Walker is one of those players whose displays for his country in Italy that summer have stood the test of time and are fondly remembered.Like Tony Adams before him, Walker featured at just one World Cup for his country after England failed to reach USA '94.Tottenham Hotspur fans will admit it through gritted teeth after Sol Campbell departed White Hart Lane for Arsenal in fairly acrimonious circumstances in 2001, but the centre-back was one of the finest of his generation.Campbell's arrival on the international stage came at France '98, with some fine performances that ranked him among the best in Europe, if not the world.And he continued that form throughout the remaining years of his international career, making his final England appearance in 2007.He scored just one goal for his country, but he can count himself unfortunate to have not doubled that tally at France '98 when he saw his header disallowed against Argentina in the last 16.Had that goal been awarded, it would have sent England through to the next round. The 21-year-old has made a fluid transition to top-flight football and has transmitted his Derby County form over to west London, forming a key part of Chelsea’s defence and earning an England call-up in the process.It hasn’t been easy for Newcastle this season, but one player who has shone in otherwise difficult circumstances is Schar. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) Integral to Liverpool’s ruthless start to the campaign has been … Bleacher Report counts down our own top 10 of England's all-time central defenders, looking at their performances at World Cups for their country, but also taking in consideration what they achieved at club level that saw them selected in the first place.Disagree with our selection? The result come 90 minutes was Butcher's bandages and shirt being covered in blood.It's an iconic image and one that sums up Butcher's spirit.He featured at the 1982, 1986 and 1990 World Cups for his country.A non-playing member of Glenn Hoddle's 1998 World Cup squad, Had it not been for injury, he would have also featured at the 2010 World Cup, but having travelled to South Africa, he failed to appear for England.The other half of England's 1966 World Cup-winning centre-back pairing, Jack Charlton may not have the had the grace of Bobby Moore, but he was just as effective.His brother Sir Bobby Charlton also appeared for England in that historic game at Wembley, and while he has written his name in English football history, Jack's legacy makes that of the Charlton brothers all the more stronger.He was a no-nonsense type of player and come 90 minutes, strikers were always left only too aware they had been in a game with Jack.Physical, determined and one to never shy away from a challenge, he was a late bloomer in international terms, not becoming an England regular until he was in his 30s.A man cut from the same cloth as the likes of Bobby Moore, John Terry has been a leader for club and country throughout his career.His international career may have ended in somewhat unfortunate circumstancesHe featured at the 2006 and 2010 World Cups, and when his country needed him, he was often there providing a wall between himself and the goal.Our image above, with Bobby Moore holding the Jules Rimet Trophy aloft, says it all about the former England captain.Moore is without doubt the standard bearer for English defenders, and he remains the man every Englishman hopes to emulate in their careers.He was a silky player, one comfortable with the ball at his feet and bringing it out from the back in the way many defenders often try in the modern era.Often, such qualities aren't associated with that warrior instinct English fans adore, but Moore had that in abundance himself, captaining his country with aplomb as England lifted the World Cup in 1966.His legend and character epitomise everything that is great about English football, and Moore's spirit lives on with a statue erected in his honour overlooking the famous Wembley Way at the new stadium.Moore was a part of the England squad at the 1962 World Cup, and he captained his country in 1966 and 1970. Lewis Dunk is still hoping for an England recall. Messi is reportedly pondering a Nou Camp exit after suffering the humiliation of an 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in their Champions League quarterfinal – a result which has already claimed the scalps of manager Quique Setien and sporting director Eric Abidal.

Liverpool currently lead the way, sitting nine points above defending champions Manchester City, while Leicester City and Chelsea are also above the champions.The Foxes have been in scintillating form under Brendan Rodgers this term and will now have aspirations of not only finishing the campaign as the “best of the rest” but possibly even smashing through the top four ceiling.That form will of course be attributed to the formidable attacking unit Rodgers has assembled, but defensively, they have been just as resounding, conceding the fewest goals in the league (8) – not bad having lost Harry Maguire in the summer.In that department, the Foxes are also joined by Liverpool and Sheffield United, two clubs enjoying exceptional seasons as well.

Gonzalo Higuain has warned Argentina teammate Lionel Messi about swapping La Liga for the Premier League, with the Juventus forward cautioning that defenders in England "are built like wardrobes" and "kick the sh*t out of you."
