How Good would Ledley King have been if it wasn't for injuries?

Talking about the dude who plays 5 games a season for Spurs (and at least one of them always manages to be against us, when he gets miraculously fit, plays the game, then goes out for another few months )

I think he is a more natural defender than both Rio and Terry.......He would've been top 3 CBs in the world if it wasn't for his injuries IMO

Would have kept Terry on the bench for England.

Dunno, but I'd sure as hell want to know how good Robben would be.

He's a natural defender, I think he would be quite good if it weren't for injuries.

This.

Was an absolute brilliant defender, who was destroyed by injuries such a shame.

Saying Top 3 is way overrating him.He would have been a good CB and moved on to a better team and i think he would have come close to replacing Terry.But dont think he is as good as Sepi are making him out to be.

Very difficult to predict his progress curve since there is so little data supporting it. He might of improved dramatically, or faded away.

I remember Harry saying before that he only does light training and still play in games like he's been training regularly for months.

I think he would've been great if not for his injuries.

Very good in my opinion, I wont rank him, but he had games when he was unbelievable. If he wasnt injury prone, he surely would of been even better.

"I don't like defenders who hold the shirts of other players. The only defender here (PL) who doesn't do that and sometimes still gets the ball off my feet easily is Ledley King.

"He is the only guy who doesn't hold players. He will get the ball off you without you even noticing. For me, that is a good defender.

"He plays without any contact yet is somehow still strong and gets the ball without doing any fouls."


Intresting fact, both me and Ledly went to the same school. Obviously he is oldeer then me and thus he had already left after I joined.

One thing I'm sure about is he would have had more international caps.
