Michael Hector at 33 years old, baller league draft 

https://x.com/BallerLeagueUK/status/1975201554664960353?t=LaUtwxJ7oS6NPzY7mujB-g&s=19

Carl Piergianni at 33 years old, captain of a table topping League 1 side and putting up consistent numbers, again 

Hector


Piergianni 

Irrelevant. That was then, this is recent/present.

I called he was better than every centre back we had at the time, and it was ridiculed, repeatedly. 

There isn't a single centre back we had on our books at the time playing at a higher level now, they can't even get League 2 contracts. 

Piergianni might be a Championship player next year, and even if he isn't, it is beyond doubt he is a top League 1 centre back, like I said at the time.

Tbf we had Lloyd Jones so in hindsight ridicule was correct. Not sure if we also had Gillesphey at the time but he’s also proven to be a much better all-round player than Piergianni. 

Piergianni has certain strengths that work if he plays for a certain style team. He would have been a poor signing for us but he’s great for Stevenage 

I have never said he is better than Lloyd, said multiple times he is our best centre back since the Prem. 

Piergianni is just a very good centre back, amazing people can't admit it when all the proof is there for them.

Sorry but if he was a very good centre back he wouldn’t still be at Stevenage.

Some might say he gave up playing frequently, while still at Charlton.

The more important question is has any player been loaned out as much as Hector - 15 times over the course of his career.  Everywhere from Didcot Town to Frankfurt
