I am definitely no Tommy Smith lover but he was an integral part of a back three who did us proud in our finest moment at the World Cup.
He has also played for a number of years at a very high level in the championship. The likes of Herbert never played for such an extended period of time at such a level. I also think it's also fair to say that the championship is a higher quality then the old second division with the influx of foreigners into the premier league. So likely at a higher level then the Ceri Evans's of this world when he played for Oxford.
Can only really rate the players I have watched since the early 80's but if we play 3 at the back and assuming Ivan will be in the midfield, think he has to be there somewhere
