Yes.

The others that I found a bit surprising have been:

Parris over Hartson
Pop coming ahead of Carlton
Ludo beating Antonio
Johnny Byrne edging it over Bowen

I suppose Lanzini has been here 8 years now, and built up a lot of affection.

I wonder if some of the other current players would have done even better a year ago - only 3 have progressed out of 30 so far, a fairly skinny return considering the 'Is this our best squad ever' debate. Althjough, the competition lends itself to nostalgia, I suppose.

Not that much of a surprise... I'd have voted Lanzini. I, like many others I'm sure, are young enough to never have seen 2 of those in the list. I'd imagine that most people favourite would be one that they have fond memories of... and not one that they have no memory of because it was before their time.
