The premier performers in England
By Martin Rogers

Roman Abramovich’s millions have turned Chelsea into one of the top teams in Europe, but for all of its individual talent, not one of the club’s players makes Yahoo! Sports’ Premiership Team of the Season.

The West London club has kept the Premiership race alive until the final day of the campaign. However, none of the Blues shined brightly enough at his particular position to be granted inclusion.
Of the Stamford Bridge contingent, Michael Essien came closest at the right-back position. Since he played there only sporadically, Arsenal’s Bakary Sagna got the nod.
Predictably, Manchester United players dominated the 11, contributing four members. Three play for Arsenal and two come from Liverpool.
The only representatives from outside the Big Four clubs were goalkeeper David James of Portsmouth and Blackburn winger David Bentley, who looks to be emerging into a genuine star.
PREMIERSHIP TEAM OF THE SEASON

Goalkeeper: David James, Portsmouth. Late in his career, James is in arguably the finest form of his life, having cut out his calamitous mistakes while emerging as the most trusted stopper in the top flight. His efforts between the posts contributed greatly toward Portsmouth’s excellent season in the league and run to the FA Cup final.

Right back: Bakary Sagna, Arsenal. Sagna came off injured after 72 minutes against Chelsea on March 23 with Arsenal leading 1-0. Didier Drogba scored a minute later, and Arsenal’s title challenge slipped away from that point on. Sagna has not played since, but his impact during the first 29 games was outstanding as he fit in perfectly with the Gunners’ system in his first campaign in England.

Center back: Rio Ferdinand, Manchester United. Just a few years ago, Ferdinand was in danger of becoming a wasted talent after being banned for missing a drug test. However, he has bounced back spectacularly and put together his finest season since 2000-01, when he helped Leeds to the Champions League semifinals. Fabio Capello has been taking notice – he made Ferdinand England captain for the friendly against France.

Center back: Nemanja Vidic, Manchester United. Vidic goes about his work quietly, but he is ruthlessly effective and must go down as one of Sir Alex Ferguson’s most astute purchases. Vidic is a major reason why United boasts the tightest defense in the Premiership and will continue to be an integral part of Ferguson’s plans.

Left back: Patrice Evra, Manchester United. It took Evra a couple of years to settle in at Old Trafford. This season, things clicked firmly into place. His defense and tackling – along with his ability to create havoc by making darting forward runs – makes him so effective.

Right wing: David Bentley, Blackburn Rovers. Bentley looks to be the heir apparent at this position once David Beckham’s England career ends. He has been sparkling this term. His spiky attitude and propensity to speak his mind has alienated some fans, but Bentley has the ability to back up his words. His pace and confidence make him one of the most dangerous players around.

Central midfield: Steven Gerrard, Liverpool. Gerrard just kept churning out strong performances all season long and led the Reds by example. A concern for opponents is that he still is developing his game and is a constant force both in the Premiership and European action.

Central midfield: Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal. Did he really just turn 21? The kid plays with the maturity of a 35-year-old and was the backbone of an Arsenal team that surpassed gloomy preseason predictions. He has the tenacity to be supremely effective in the Premiership and skillful enough to shine anywhere else. The Gunners have already lost Mathieu Flamini and Aleksandr Hleb, but they can’t afford to let Fabregas follow them through the door.

Left wing: Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United. With 40 goals (30 in the Premiership), Ronaldo has produced one of the most incredible individual seasons in soccer history. His genius seems to know no bounds, and he is the single most important reason why United is on course to claim the two most important pieces of silverware around. The best player in the world? Absolutely.

Striker: Fernando Torres, Liverpool. The Premiership is meant to be the toughest league in the world to adapt to, but someone clearly forgot to tell Torres. He has been sensational for Rafa Benitez’s team and has become a Liverpool legend in remarkably quick time.

Striker: Emmanuel Adebayor, Arsenal. Thierry Henry never will be forgotten at Arsenal, but Adebayor’s precision in front of goal helped lessen the impact of the legendary Frenchman’s departure. He was unstoppable in the early part of the season and ended up with a fantastic return of 30 goals in all competitions.

When the Dons conquered Europe
By Liam McLeod

It remains the most celebrated and famous day in the history of Aberdeen Football Club. 11 May 1983.
The Dons' victory over the Galacticos of Real Madrid feels like yesterday to many a man, woman and child that made the trip to a sodden Sweden for what was to be the club's most famous night.
But come this Sunday, it will have been 25 years since Alex Ferguson, Willie Miller and co lifted the European Cup-Winners' Cup in torrential rain.
It was the jewel in the Dons' 80s crown.
The ensuing years have seen a series of highs and lows for the Pittodrie club.
But it is that night in the Ullevi Stadium that was the true fairy-tale.
The realisation of a dream that can never be taken away from the club, the men who wore red that night, the 12,000 supporters who made the trip by whatever means possible or the city itself.
Internationalists such as Juanito, Jose Camacho and Johnny Metgod managed by the great Alfredo di Stéfano - Real Madrid were an awesome side.
The key was belief, and that had been instilled in abundance throughout a mesmerising campaign that saw Bayern Munich ousted in the quarter-finals.
The Dons knew they had to come straight out of the traps if they were to stand a chance, and they did.
Eric Black's early spectacular volley from just outside the box had Agustin's crossbar shaking.
It was not long before the Dons got their noses in front.
The now famous sight of Gordon Strachan wading through a swimming pool-sized puddle to whip in a corner from the right was followed by Black eventually getting on the scoresheet.
Alex McLeish met the cross and his header found Black who spun and rifled Aberdeen into dreamland.
Not long after, however, McLeish went from provider to sinner as his slack back-pass agonisingly caught the soggy turf as Dons' hearts leapt to mouths.
Santillana took advantage of the break and and as he tried to round Jim Leighton, the Scotland goalkeeper brought the Real skipper down at the expense of a penalty.
Juanito stroked the penalty home and for many, there was a feeling that the Dons' chance had gone.
Not so.
90 minutes could not seperate the sides and with it locked at 1-1, extra-time beckoned and it was in those 30 minutes that this Aberdeen team would become true legends.
The superb Peter Weir's delightful chip down the Aberdeen left was followed by an even more delightful cross by Mark McGhee which evaded the Real goalkeeper.
And one flick of substitute John Hewitt's head later, the men in red had one hand on a European trophy.
Legend has it that Hewitt - who replaced fellow goalscorer Black - was to be hooked himself because he kept trying to run with a ball that was sticking in the soaking turf.
Still, what did the management team know?
A late free-kick that fizzed just past Leighton's left-hand post was the final nervy moment as the Italian referee blew for full-time.
Legends had been made.
As Sir Alex Ferguson recently told the League Managers association website: "When you look back you say to yourself 'how did I manage to beat Bayern Munich who were the favourites and then beat Real Madrid in the final?'
"It was special because Aberdeen was a small club.
"I just had two girls working for me in the office, the secretary, a couple of people running the pools in another office. I had [assistant manager] Archie Knox, my reserve coach and a physiotherapist and that was it."
The Dons would go on to beat European Cup winners Hamburg in the Super Cup to cement their position as Europe's undisputed best in 1983.

Aberdeen: Leighton, Rougvie, McMaster, Cooper, McLeish, Miller, Strachan, Simpson, McGhee, Black (Hewitt, 87), Weir.
