    Geoff Horsfield - a poacher who always scored goals wherever he went. Starting at Halifax, he moved onto prolific spells with Fulham, Birmingham and Wigan, before being part of the West Brom great escape in 2005. He also beat cancer, and now runs a homeless charity. What a bloke

    Ricardo Fuller - an absolute enigma of a striker, this bloke would be shite for 89 minutes and then pull off something mental. Banged them in at Preston, before playing for both Pompey and Southampton, after which he found a home at Stoke. Once slapped his captain after conceding

    Peter Whittingham - this man was the undisputed king of the Championship from 2007-15. Unreal set pieces, endless long shots, tons of assists, this bloke had it all. Spent all of his good days at Cardiff, and bagged 20 goals+assists every year. Top man.

    Lee Tomlin - what a footballer, for 5 minutes at a time before he needed a breather. This enigma of a #10 couldn't and wouldn't run, but by god he could shoot, pass and dribble. Took the piss for Boro, Bristol City, Cardiff and Peterborough among others. Maestro.

    Heidar Helguson - arguably the world's shortest target man, this Icelandic international was a pain in the arse for every defender he came up against. Spearheaded promotion campaigns for Cardiff and QPR, as well as bagging for Watford, Fulham and Bolton. Worker.

    Reda Johnson - a man-mountain who left it all on the pitch, this defender became a cult hero at Sheffield Wednesday as much for his goalscoring as for his defending. Unbeatable in the air and strong in the tackle, he's been a fan favourite everywhere he's been, for good reason.

    Jason Koumas - a mercurial talent capable of anything on his day, this man was arguably the best attacking midfielder in the championship for a period. Began his career at Tranmere, before helping West Brom twice to promotion. Also had good spells at Cardiff and Wigan. Technician

    Rob Jones - possibly the most League 1 centre back ever, this man headed owt that moved for his entire career, which being 6'7 wasn't too hard. Captained Wednesday and Donny to promotion from the third tier, as well as helping Hibs to the Scottish Cup. Man-mountain.

    Neil Shipperley - a horrible bastard of a striker, this bloke was crucial in helping Sheffield United and Crystal Palace get to the Premier League, scoring quite a few goals in the process. A proper English striker, he loved shithousing defenders as much as scoring goals. Top man

    Chris Brown - your typical football league big man, this fella started at Sunderland, got in trouble for a sex tape, did a decent job for PNE and Donny, then went to Blackburn and became their greatest ever striker. Now class on Undr the Cosh. Defensive forward.

    Chris Morgan - a true bastard of the game, this raging shithouse spent his entire career in South Yorkshire, kicking lumps out of strikers for Barnsley and Sheffield United. Most notable for leaving Iain Hume with a hole in his skull with an elbow, without even being sent off.

    Darius Henderson - a proper target man, with a half decent goal tally too. Spent 15 years smacking centre backs around for clubs like Millwall, Watford, Sheffield United and Forest. Was later found in court for GBH too, to top off a typical big bastard career.

    Lewis Buxton - a steady full back with a wicked cross, this classically EFL defender bossed the right hand side for Stoke, Portsmouth, Bournemouth and most notably Sheffield Wednesday, where he helped them get promoted back out of League One. The White Cafu

    Billy Sharp - this bloke has had an unreal career, banged in football league goals for the likes of Scunthorpe, Doncaster Rovers and of course his boyhood team Sheffield United. Now captaining them in the Premier League, really living the dream. Just a fat lad from Sheffield
