The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON
Player of the Round 2006/7



It's every player's dream to be at The FA Cup Final and this season, eleven lucky men have booked their tickets to English football's showpiece event.

The FA Cup Player of the Round award, sponsored by E.ON, is presented to the outstanding player of each round of The FA Cup, starting from the First Qualifying Round all the way to the Semi-Final.

Player of the Round winners will receive VIP hospitality for themselves and their guest at The FA Cup Final on Saturday 19 May 2007.

The winner of each award will be presented with a solid silver salver along with a kit bag of training equipment which he can donate to a local school of his choice.

A select panel of judges - Mark Clemmit (BBC Radio Five), Walter Gammie (The Times), Ricky George (Daily Telegraph), David Watters (Editor, The Non League Paper) and Nick Horler (E.ON’s Managing Director, Retail) - put forward their selections each round to create a shortlist which is then voted for by the fans.
