The centre half (or central defender) plays in the heart of defence just in front of the goalkeeper, and has the important but difficult job of keeping the opposition's strikers at bay.
Typical football team:
Goalkeeper
Right Back CENTRE BACK CENTRE BACK Left Back
Right Wing Centre Midfield Centre Midfield Left Wing

The centre half is often also called a centre back. There are usually two (sometimes three, depending upon team formation) who make up the centre of the defence.

He is the central king pin of the defence, although modern formations have two. He should be good with both feet, and heading the ball, so height is an advantage..

if you are talking about the beautiful english game he would be the middle defender to put it in easy word the man who stands at the back in front of the goalie and kicks the ball like hell if it comes to him why?
