The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON
Player of the Round 2007/8



The FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium - it's the stuff of boyhood dreams.

While the right to tread on the hallowed turf and play for the most famous cup in football is reserved for two teams in May, eleven players who have excelled during the competition will also be at the showpiece event. 

The FA Cup Player of the Round award, sponsored by E.ON, is presented to the outstanding player at each stage of competition, 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 17 May 2008.

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