Already some great names have fallen by the wayside and in the last 16, Mark Hateley and Mick Quinn were among the big guns to stop firing – not helped by the fact they were drawn against Yakubu and Guy Whittingham respectively.

Also falling at that last stage were Ray Crawford, Ray Pointer, Albie McCann, Dave Kemp, Conor Chaplin and Brett Pitman.

It leaves us with the Yak, Corporal Guy, Alan Biley, Steve Claridge, Ron Saunders, Svetoslav Todorov, Kanu and Paul Walsh. What a selection!

For those who have not been following all season, this is the fifth and final in a series of of unofficial, unscientific tournaments we’ve run to find your favourites in each position. David James, Linvoy Primus, Paul Merson and Darren Anderton are your favourites so far.
