#1 Vincent Kompany (Manchester City) - Defender

Kompany will go down in City's history as their best ever leader

Since arriving in Manchester in 2009, Vincent Kompany has played his way into the club's folklore, captaining them through unarguably its most successful period in history.

The 32-year-old has skippered the club through four League Cup trophies, four league titles as well as numerous other honours and played huge roles in all the triumphs, with his long-range 25-yard screamer against Leicester being one of the hallmark goals of City's latest Premier League title.

Having arrived as a young man pledging the best years of his career to a mega-project which was still in its infancy, Kompany is departing ten years later as a full grown man having overseen the City project grow from baby steps into the massive behemoth that the club is right now.

The club hierarchy is still hopeful that a deal can be salvaged soon, but regardless, Kompany would still go down as the greatest defender to ever grace the blue half of Manchester.
