No need to find a picture. I have them ready and don't worry about the 'facts' if you cannot find them. I can fill them in, mainly looking for the write ups of players (y)
 
Looks good Dan (y)

Just a quick pointer *adopts Rob attitude* it should be 'Written by Cal/Zero' instead of 'wrote' ;) *back to normal Rodders* :P
 

Andrew Johnson was born on 10th February 1981 in Bedford, England.

His football career began at Birmingham City, where he didn’t enjoy the greatest of success. He suffered the assessment of being too small to be a good striker and his appearances for the Blues were fairly spasmodic. His unfortunate career continued when he missed a penalty in the shootout at the Worthington Cup Final in 2001.

After 83 appearances and eight goals, Johnson moved to Crystal Palace in a move which saw Clinton Morrison head the other way. Palace certainly had the best of the deal. He arrived with no real expectations, but he soon started to show his class. Within a couple of months of his arrival, he had already scored two hat tricks. However, it was under the management of Iain Dowie that Johnson truly began to prosper. He finished the 2003-2004 First Division season as the league’s top scorer with a magnificent 32 goals. His goals helped Palace to a promotion to the Premier League for the following season. His goal scoring exploits continued in the highest tier of English football and he scored a total of 21 goals, the best tally from an English player that year. Palace were relegated, but Johnson had most definitely caught the eye of Premier League clubs.

His impressive season in the Premiership helped him earn a call up to the England squad. He was selected in the squad to face Holland in February 2005. He came on as a second half substitute for Wayne Rooney. He showed a good attitude and worked hard for the team, despite being played out of position on the right wing.

The 2005-2006 season was a frustrating one for Crystal Palace. After failing to win promotion back to the Premier League, it became clear that the club would listen to offers for Johnson. After having an initial bid of £7.5m rejected, Johnson moved to Everton for a fee of £8.6m. He signed a five year contract, becoming the club’s record signing at the time.

Johnson got his Everton career off to a great start, scoring on his debut against Watford. In just his fourth game, Johnson confirmed his place in the Everton history books. He scored two goals in the Blues’ 3-0 defeat of rivals Liverpool in the Merseyside derby. He finished the season as Everton’s top scorer with 11 goals.
 
Alan Stubbs was born on 6th October 1971 in Kirkby, England. He was brought up as an Evertonian and entered their academy at a young age. However, he was released whilst in his teens.

His professional club career commenced at Bolton Wanderers, where he spent six years and made 181 appearances. He captained the Trotters to play-off success in 1995, earning them promotion to the Premiership. At the end of the following season, Stubbs agreed to a move north of the border and signed for Celtic.

He made 88 appearances for Celtic and won many medals. However, his time at Celtic also saw perhaps the hardest times in Stubbs’ life. He twice beat testicular cancer, showing tremendous strength and courage to return to football each time.

In 2001, Stubbs fulfilled his childhood ambition and secured a move to Everton. He slotted straight into the heart of the Blues’ defence and soon proved himself to be an invaluable member of the team. During the 2004-2005 season, in which Everton finished fourth in the Premier League, Stubbs was on fantastic form. He captained the team many times and even scored a vital goal to help defeat Portsmouth at Goodison.

Unfortunately however, Stubbs was unable to reap the rewards of Everton’s success by playing in Europe the following season. Instead he signed for Sunderland after a dispute over a new contract at Everton. His time on Wearside was certainly not the best part of his career. He had to endure many matches either on the bench or out of the squad altogether.

Just six months after leaving the Blues, Stubbs was back. He again proved his worth and was soon back in the Everton first team. In the 2006-2007 season, Everton again qualified for Europe, and again Stubbs was a vital player in their qualification. He accepted a one year contract extension, meaning that this time he will get the rewards that his efforts deserve by playing in Europe.
 
James Vaughan was born on the 14th July 1988 in Birmingham, England. At the age of just nine, he was spotted by Everton scouts and signed up to join the youth academy. His talent quickly developed and by the age of just 16 he was a regular in the reserve side.

His impressive performances for Everton’s second string led to a call up from David Moyes. After appearing on the bench for a few games, Vaughan was given his debut against Crystal Palace at Goodison in April 2005, coming on as a substitute in the final twenty minutes. This appearance made him Everton’s youngest ever player, breaking Joe Royle’s record by eleven days. This was some achievement in itself, however this was not the only record that Vaughan broke that afternoon. With just over five minutes of the match to go, James Vaughan fired in his first goal for the Blues. The strike made him Everton’s youngest ever scorer, and also the youngest player ever to have scored in the Premiership.

At the end of the season, Vaughan was rewarded with a professional contract, one which he was more than happy to sign. However, his development as a quality player was halted by a knee ligament injury gained in the summer. The injury meant that he missed the whole season.

However, Vaughan was back and raring to go for the 2006-2007 season. He made a number of fantastic performances and scored four goals, including one on the last day of the season to earn a draw at Chelsea.
