Ah yes - I somehow managed to forget to include Tim Cahill. He was on my list but I somehow skipped past him!

Patrick Suffo, probably doesn't deserve to be named amongst such illustrious company as those players in your list. Whilst he was with Sheffield Utd he represented Cameroon in the 2000 Olympic games & won a gold medal!

I think he's certainly worth mentioning, footsphere... we don't want to upset our valued Sheffield United supporters!

We Love SPAOTP!
