John Terry vs Rio Ferdinand: Which former England player was the best Premier League centre-back?

Once England centre-back partners, now Rio Ferdinand and John Terry are arguing on Twitter about their egos and who was the better player. 

The row erupted when Ferdinand ranked himself as the Premier League's best ever centre-back when fronting his BT Sport show, placing Terry fifth.

"Opinions are great, but stats don't lie," former Chelsea skipper Terry wrote in a social media post, accompanied with graphics illustrating his career statistics.

Ferdinand hit back by saying Terry was lucky to be in his top five after the well-publicised racism case involving his brother Anton Ferdinand - Terry was found not guilty of racially abusing Ferdinand in the 2011 court case.

So with the two of them arguing about who is the best, Planet Sport looks at their careers to see if there's a clear winner.
