The 'Best' Categories will generate similar answers I feel.
For example - best Foreign player - few can better Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Gianfranco Zola and Dennis Bergkamp .... yes I take it there will be other choices too.....

However, I feel that the following questions may generate more varied responses -

Worst Team ?

Worst Goalkeeper ?

Worst Striker ?

Greatest win by a Smaller Team over a Bigger Club ?

Most Spectacular Own Goal ?

Most Spectacular Mistake by a player in a match ?

Most Controversial Refereeing Decision ?

Best 'Right Hammering (completely thrashed)' for a club ?
