Hi Ed,
I was too young to see much of Woodgate’s career prior to his Madrid transfer (was only interested in Liverpool and thought Carragher was the best defender ever) .
Only quality alone, would him and Ledley King have been good enough to cut it at elite team level? Perhaps on par with the likes of the starting England CBs at the time?

{Ed001's Note - not at the level of Moore etc but next best pairing defo.}

Correct me if I’m wrong Ed001 but didn’t Madrid sign him on the advice of David Beckham? Or he was asked his option on him or something? Seem to remember Beckham being involved in the transfer somehow.

{Ed001's Note - I don't remember sorry.}
