Newcastle Defenders

There have been many great defenses in the history of the sport; those of which who have went on to win very many championships for their club. These teams have had two things in common: chemistry and will to win. On the football field, there really isn’t much else, as people want to impress everyone in attendance, and push forward to the top of their leagues. Day in and day out they train very hard, making sure their bodies are top physical form before they even step on the field.

The Toon has some of the best defense that is available in the First League, and is the very reason why they won it all the year before. It is the work of one particular captain, Nicky Butt, which has made this a reality. Not to take anything away from the stellar management, but this particular athlete is one where most of the acclaim should go. Combine that with the efforts of Alan Smith back at midfield, and they become a very formidable force, one that is well on the road to the cup.

While the Magpie offense may win a great amount of games, the defense is genuinely the one that keeps them in it when the opposing offense gets a great run at the goal. With these two captains making sure that they do not score, there’s also the loaner in Danny Simpson from Manchester that will surely make a difference in the upcoming season. When it comes to defense, the Toon will certainly be at the top of the charts when it is all said and done. And with Chris Haughton now taking the job from Alan Shearer in this season, it will certainly be one to be heralded as one of the best in Newcastle’s history.
