Friday Fives - Sir Bobby Charlton & Martin Petrov

An Englishman and a Bulgarian pick their dream teams.


Every Friday we will bring you a special Friday Fives feature, with a different personality picking their dream five-a-side team made up of players they have played alongside in their careers.

Today we have a special edition, as England and Bulgaria prepare to face each other later today, with World Cup winner Sir Bobby Charlton selecting his dream team as well as Bulgarian international and Bolton Wanderers ace Martin Petrov. Both videos can be watched in the media gallery above.

While our Friday Fives series is a bit of fun with fans, current or ex-professionals, The FA Umbro Fives competition allows every five-a-side player in the country the chance to replicate the feats of these greats, with the overall winners being crowned the official five-a-side champions of England at Wembley Stadium.

The competition offers the best teams in the country the chance to play in the national final at the national stadium and follow in the footsteps of some football legends. The deadline to enter a team was 29 July and the first round of heats will get underway in the new season.
