Illustrator Steve Welsh has come up with his A-Z of football – and the game has never looked so beautiful.
Each letter of the alphabet is represented by a different player – not the best, says Middlesbrough fan Welsh, just the ones that particularly appeal to him.
Finally completed my A-Z project, here's the full set in case you missed any – pic.twitter.com/FqixdYh28r

That explains why you have Paul McGrath rather than Lionel Messi, Pippo Inzaghi rather than Pele and Carlos Valderrama ahead of Marco van Basten.
And it was no easy task for Welsh to choose – it seems Pele hardly got a look-in for P. Or Michel Platini. Or Ferenc Puskas for that matter…
With that in mind, what do people think for the letter P – Pippo or Psycho? – pic.twitter.com/Exr5ON9nXO

The letter B posed a particular problem.
Of course the downside to all of this, is that I've got to choose between these two fellas for my final A-Z series – pic.twitter.com/nQpO7SzJU4

B is for Brolin if you ask us. Ultimately though, we think he made some amazing choices.
