  1. There’s something wrong seeing Paul Konchesky’s name on the list but not Mark Noble’s.

  2. One of my mates grandads is Ken Brown – she was out drinking with him the other day and sending me snaps of them drunk together, seems like a nice bloke!

  3. Illustrious list, syd puddefoot is missing though, he played in the victory internationals against Scotland and Wales before going on to be the worlds most expensive footballer
