A strong imposing defender and a key member of that treble-winning side. I wouldn’t rank him as high as someone like Maldini but certainly one of the best defenders of his generation.

I always assumed that the reason he was sold was because he had revealed in his autobiography details about being illegally ‘tapped up’ by Ferguson before he joined United. Ferguson was furious with the revelation and vowed to sell Stam asap.
