And the results were interesting to say the least.

Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez, Carl Jenkinson, Natasha Dowie, Dennis Bergkamp, Danny Welbeck, Glen Johnson, Thomas Ince, Andros Townsend, Dennis Wise, Rachel Yankey, Karen Carney, Frank Lampard, Alex Scott, Jack Wilshere, Andy Hinchcliffe, Patrick Vieira, Jill Scott, Anita Asante, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Gareth Southgate, Ashley Cole, Gemma Bonner, Gary Cahill, Matt Holland, Tom Cleverley, Colin Hendry, Ledley King, Toni Duggan, Jordan Nobbs, Marouane Fellaini, Gordon Strachan, Mick Channon, Ray Wilkins, Daniel Sturridge, Steph Houghton, Fara Williams, Dunia Susi, Graeme Le Saux and Faye White.
