NEW!!! A.I.K. Stockholm (Sweden) 2009 Home kit



AIK, abbreviation for Allmänna Idrottsklubben, (literally "The General Sports Club" or "The Public Sports Club") is a Swedish football club based at Råsunda stadium in Solna, a municipality in Stockholm County bordering to Stockholm city centre. The club was formed in 1891 in central Stockholm and the football department was formed in 1896. AIK currently plays in the highest Swedish league, Allsvenskan.
With Malmö FF and IFK Göteborg, AIK are often considered as one of the "Big Three" in Swedish club football, having the top three spots in the all-time Allsvenskan table. Qualifying for the 1999/2000 UEFA Champions League group stage – the only Stockholm side to have reached this far in the tournament – AIK was drawn in the same group as Barcelona, Arsenal and Fiorentina.

NEW!!! Lyn Oslo (Norway) 2009 Home kit

Football Club Lyn Oslo is a Norwegian professional football club and a department of the sports club Ski- og Fotballklubben Lyn, whose members also participate in nordic skiing and orienteering. They are based in the city of Oslo and play their home games at Ullevaal Stadion.
Established in 1896, they were founding members of the Norwegian Football Association, and have won the League Championship twice and the Norwegian Cup eight times. The club's most recent period of success was during the 1960s, when they won four trophies and reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup. Lyn currently play in the Norwegian Premier League, having won promotion in 2000. They are managed by Kent Bergersen, who took over in September 2008, following the resignation of Henning Berg. Berg had held the post since 2005.
The westside club Lyn has traditionally been perceived as representing the upper and middle classes, whereas the eastside club Vålerenga was seen as belonging to the workers. Although Oslo still maintains an east-west divide in social demographics, the divide is now much weaker in the clubs' supporter bases.

NEW!!! Bayern Munich fc (Germany) 2009 Home kit


Bayern is one of three professional football clubs in Munich. Bayern's main local rival is TSV 1860 Munich, who were the more successful club in the 1960s, winning a cup and a championship. 1860 have since moved between the first and second divisions. 1860 are often referred to by sections of the Bayern support as "gymnasts", insinuating a lack of footballing pedigree. The rivalry has, at least from a Bayern point of view, lost importance over the last decade, reflecting the lopsided state of the achievements of the two clubs and the absence of players for whom local grudges would still matter. 1860 is considered more working-class, and therefore suffers from a diminishing fan base in a city where the manufacturing sector is declining whilst tertiary industries are booming.

Gareth Freeman - Unsung heroes of the Premier League

The Premier League has plenty of well-known faces and players respected by the world of football. Some of the world’s brightest stars such as Cesc Fabregas, Steven Gerrard, Cristiano Ronaldo, Didier Drogba and Fernando Torres grace the English game but there are plenty of players who perhaps don’t get the credit they deserve. With that in mind I’ve decided to run through my top five ‘Premier League unsung heroes’.

James Milner, Aston Villa
Milner is still a young player but seems to have been around forever. He made his debut for Leeds United at the tender age of 16 and has been consistently playing in the top-flight ever since. Milner moved to Newcastle where he quickly established himself in the starting eleven before moving to Aston Villa at the beginning of the current campaign. It has been over the course of this year that Milner’stalent has truly been seen, though he is often overshadowed by the performances of Ashley Young and Gabby Agbonlahor. Milner has been in great form all season and scored a wonder goal against Everton from a free-kick last weekend.

Abdoulaye Faye, Stoke City
At the start of the season Stoke were football favourites to go down with the majority of football pundits and punters alike. They are on the verge of achieving the unthinkable in Premier League survival and this is largely due to their towering defender Abdoulaye Faye. The Senegalese international began his Premier League career with Bolton, where he made over 50 appearances for the Lancashire side. When Sam Allardyce swapped the Reebok Stadium for St James’ Park Faye was the only player he took with him to his new club. After just one season at Newcastle he was sold to Stoke for a fee of around £2million. At Stoke Faye has become a hero and is probably going to be named their player of the season this year, he has almost single-handedly turned their defence into a formidable unit and has chipped in with three vital goals for the Potters.
Danny Murphy, Fulham
Danny Murphy began his career at Crewe, where Dean Ashton, Rob Hulse and David Platt also started out. He sealed a move to Liverpool in 1997 and quickly established himself alongside Steven Gerrard in midfield. After making over 150 appearances for the club he moved on after being deemed surplus to requirements but his career continued to flourish elsewhere. He played a major part in Fulham’s Premier League survival last season and has perhaps been their star this season, where Fulham have got to the brink of European qualification. He may not be the most flash player in the league but Murphy is consistent and always puts in a decent display for Fulham.
Gary Cahill, Bolton Wanderers
23-year-old Cahill is the heart of Bolton’s defence and is a major factor in the Wanderers staying out of the relegation dog-fight this season. He is great in the air, has brilliant awareness and is very good on the ball for a centre-half. He was overlooked by Fabio Capello in the most recent England squads but should break into the national side in the near future. One thing is for sure though, Bolton would really struggle without Cahill shoring up the back.



Antonio Valencia, Wigan Athletic
Wigan have been pushing for European qualification all season and a big reason for this is the talented Ecuadorian Antonio Valencia. The talented 23-year-old has notched up six goals for the Latics this season and is always a handful for the opposition defence. It looks as if Valencia could be set to leave the JJB Stadium in the summer, with Real Madrid among his reported suitors, but Valencia turned down a move in January because he wanted to see the season out with Wigan. In a world where football is dominated by money this kind of loyalty has to be applauded and I’m sure Valencia will be a world famous name in the near future.

NEW!!! Arsenal fc (England) 2009 Away kit


Arsenal Football Club (often simply known as Arsenal or The Arsenal, or by their nickname The Gunners) are an English professional football club based in Holloway, North London. They play in the Premier League and are one of the most successful clubs in English football, having won thirteen First Division and Premier League titles and ten FA Cups, and hold the record for the longest uninterrupted period in the English top flight.Arsenal were founded in 1886 and were the first Southern club to join the Football League, in 1893. They won their first major trophies in the 1930s, with five League Championship titles and two FA Cups. After a lean period in the post-war years they became the second club of the 20th century to win the League and FA Cup Double in 1970–71, and during the past twenty years have recorded a series of successes – in this time Arsenal have won a Cup Double, two further League and FA Cup Doubles, the Premier League title unbeaten, and became the first London club to reach the UEFA Champions League Final.

Gareth Freeman - The Top Three strikers in World Football

This is my own personal run-down of the top three strikers in world football. I’ve decided to represent three different clubs as well so there will not be two strikers from the same club in the list, otherwise Barcelona might occupy all three places! In no particular order, here are the three most effective forwards in the world at this moment.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Inter Milan
Ibramhimovic is one of the top earners in football and having seen his exploits on the pitch you can understand why. The Swedish international has an astonishing goals-to-games ratio and has nettedover 50 times for Inter in 80 appearances. He began his career at Swedish side Malmo before moving to Dutch giants Ajax where he achieved international recognition. Following a bust-up with Ajaxteam-mate Rafael Van der Vaart Zlatan moved to Serie A side Juventus and began his Italian career, in 2006 he moved to Inter Milan in a mega-money move and quickly established himself as their star player.
He has already won two league titles with Inter and is all set to take a third this season. Zlatan is so highly rated by Inter coach Jose Mourinho that Mourinho has even claimed he is "the best player in theworld, ahead of (Cristiano) Ronaldo". Zlatan’s suberb control, ferocious shot and awareness of the game make him a force to be reckoned with and most would agree he is the best striker in the Italian league.
Didier Drogba – Chelsea
Didier Drogba’s £24million+ move from French side Marseille to Chelsea raised a few eyebrows at first but after nearly five years at the club those initial doubts have been all but forgotten. The Ivory Coastinternational is one of the most effective strikers in the Premier League and he has notched up over 50 goals in around 130 appearances in a Chelsea shirt. The big frontman is so important to the Chelseaside that generally when he plays well, the whole team plays well and vice-versa, when he is having an off-day, it is a safe football bet to make that Chelsea do as well. Though perhaps not as naturally gifted in terms of skill as Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney or Liverpool’s Fernando Torres, Drogba makes up for this with his physical attributes. His ability to win the ball in the air is second to none and he plays the way a classic Englishforward should do – with pace and power.

Despite the wealth of attacking talent the Premier League has to offer Drogba is perhaps the most respected of all the strikers in the league due to his wicked shot, aerial ability, pace and power.
Thierry Henry – Barcelona
Henry first rose to prominence with French side Monaco where he was initially used by then Monaco boss Arsene Wenger as a left-winger. His form for the Ligue 1 club earned him a move to Italian outfitJuventus. After a disappointing spell in Italy where Henry found it hard to adjust to the style of play he moved to Premier League club Arsenal and linked up again with Wenger. It was at Arsenal whereHenry was first utilized as a striker and he has become one of the best in the business since his move to a centre-forward role. Henry has won nearly everything there is to win in football, the World Cupand European Championship at international level and everything there is to win in England.

At his current club, Barcelona, Henry has the chance to win his first La Liga title and perhaps his first Champions League winner’s medal. He was a runner up in 2006 with Arsenal. Despite not playing as a traditional striker with the Frenchman frequently running down the wing and dropping deeper Henry has an astonishing goal ratio. In just over 250 appearances for Arsenal he notched up 174 goals and became the club’s record goal scoer. At Barca and internationally his record is close to one in two, which is still a phenomenal strike rate. For his pace, skill, touch, crossing ability, shot accuracy, and ability to take set-pieces, Henry had to make the list and for me Henry is not just one of the best strikers of the modern game, he may well be one of the best ever to play the game.
