The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON
Player of the Round 2007-08
Semi-Finals



Brian Howard - Barnsley
Lassana Diarra - Portsmouth
Joe Ledley - Cardiff City
Neil Clement - West Bromwich Albion

It's your last chance to vote for your 'Player of the Round' this season, with four names in the frame after the Semi-Finals which saw Portsmouth and Cardiff City book their place at Wembley on Saturday 17 May.

While Lassana Diarra and Joe Ledley will be with their clubs preparing for the big match in May, your votes could send Brian Howard or Neil Clement to The Final as the winning player will receive VIP hospitality for themselves and a guest.

Diarra was called into action on a number of occasions by a spirited West Brom who looked to cause another upset in a season of shocks, while Joe Ledley grabbed the only goal of the game for Cardiff - to send the Bluebirds back to The Final for the first time in 81 years.

Brian Howard was unable to reproduce the heroics of Anfield, but his endeavour ensured that Dave Jones could not rest easy until the final whistle on Sunday afternoon.

Similarly Neil Clement was a constant presence in both defending and launching attacks for Tony Mowbray's side a day earlier.

The four names were selected by a panel which includes Mark Clemmit of Radio Five Live, Howard Wheatcroft of the Daily Star, Ricky George of the Daily Telegraph, David Emery of the Non-League Paper and E.ON Managing Director Graham Bartlett.

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. Voting closes at 9am on Monday 14 April 2008.
