Cesc Fabregas named in UEFA 2006 side

Normally I'd ignore this entirely as these sort of fan voted awards tend to be a bit of a bun-fight with all the big do-nothing names getting included in the side purely on their fan base.

But I was surprised and pleased to see that our midfield dynamo Cesc Fabregas has also been included as one of three English based players - along with Theirry Henry (of course) and Liverpool's captain fantastic Steven Gerrard.

No sign of anyone from Chelsea, Man United, or Real Madrid and the only Italian based player was the Brazillian Kaka.

Uefa team of the year (4-4-2) :

Buffon (Juventus) — Zambrotta (Barcelona), Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Puyol (Barcelona), Lahm (Bayern Munich) — Gerrard (Liverpool), Fabregas (Arsenal), Kaka (AC Milan), Ronaldinho (Barcelona) – Henry (Arsenal), Eto’o (Barcelona).
