Wolves defender Jody Craddock says Aston Villa's John Carew has been his toughest ever opponent.
In reflecting on the highs and lows of his outstanding season, the wise old head has no doubts who he rated his toughest opponents - and hit wasn't anyone in a Manchester United or Chelsea shirt.
He told the Express & Star: "There's so many great players in the league and you're meeting them every game. But I never faced anyone tougher than Villa's John Carew.
"When Villa had that 20, 25 minutes at us at Villa Park and he was awesome. He's so big and powerful in the air and yet there's a pace to his game too.
"Peter Crouch would be up there too - and I've got to say I was so impressed by Robbie Keane in the match at Spurs."
