I don't necessarily buy into the idea that a combination of two differently skilled centre halves are required for a successful defensive partnership. Tom Bender for instance has aerial presence, good positioning and seems to know where to put the ball. That's not to mention enthusiasm in abundance. With experienced Hessey beside him and perhaps some reigning in, I'm sure he could fill the Long role given the chance.

Agree with Smudgie, Kempson is not of Football League standard for me.
