The competition began to commemorate the incredible contribution of the players in 125 years - and after more than 10,000 votes we have our team.

Our search began in earnest in December and gave the top 125 ranked FA Cup clubs their chance to nominate their five Cup legends - one keeper, one defender, one midfielder, one forward and a manager

From the nominations our panel of specialists narrowed them down to a shortlist of 125 - with 25 for each position. We then put it down to you, the fans. 


You voted for your own Team of Heroes from our final list in a 4-3-3 formation and now it is time for all those who voted to find out if their choice matches that of the the overall poll.

On Monday we revealed Peter Schmeichel would keep goal for our Team of Heroes. Here are the four defenders who will play in front of the Great Dane.
