Different kinds of center halfs and ones still playing for us and 22 the other left ages ago and is now retired so they’re pretty incomparable.

I think Elliot had more of a presence than Lockyer, but Tillson was better than either of them and maybe the best we've ever had.

I happened upon the thread as I wanted to big Lockyer up, not to the detriment of Elliott. What is apparent though, is that Gasheads tend to prefer a big brute of a centre back! I loved Elliott and Tilson but for me, Yates is the best I've seen. He was a Rolls Royce for us. Interesting to see how Lockyer and Broadbent develop over the years as their games will change with experience.

Different times so difficult to compare like for like but what I do know is Tom is my favourite current Rovers player and Steve Elliott was my favourite at the time he was playing for us.
My all time favourite player...Ian Alexander.
My all time favourite non-Rovers player...Franco Baresi.
Boring I know but I love proper defenders.

Well to be fair Elliot made most of his appearances for us in league 2. Tom is now in his second season at league 1 and will only get better. I think by the time Lockyer is 28 he will be a far better player than Elliot was at the same age.
