1. GOALKEEPER | David De Gea | The 24-year-old’s stellar performances have papered over Manchester United’s defensive cracks this season and he will be vital as the club attempt to restore Champions League football. 2. RIGHT-BACK | Nathaniel Clyne | The 23-year-old gained his first England cap in November following his impressive displays for Southampton this term. Clyne, who edges out Pablo Zabaleta and Branislav Ivanovic for our right-back spot, has the highest tackles per game average in the Premier League (4.3). 3. CENTRE-BACK | John Terry | The former England captain has played an integral part in Chelsea’s watertight defence this season and has remarkably conceded only three fouls in 19 games - the lowest of any central defender in the Premier League. 4. CENTRE-BACK | Gary Cahill | The 29-year-old has formed a formidable partnership alongside John Terry and has already steered Chelsea to eight clean sheets in the Premier League this season. 5. LEFT-BAC...

1.GOALKEEPER | Simon Mignolet | The Belgian has struggled to offer a commanding presence in goal and his season has been littered with errors. Having lost his place to Brad Jones, Mignolet faces a fight to regain his starting berth at Liverpool. 2. RIGHT-BACK | Kyle Naughton | The 26-year-old has made just five Premier League appearances this term but has managed to get sent off twice. Naughton has found it difficult to find consistency and is now Spurs’ third-choice right-back behind Kyle Walker and Eric Dier, while DeAndre Yedlin’s arrival in January will limit his chances even further. 3. CENTRE-BACK | Mike Williamson | The 31-year-old made a woeful start to the campaign as Newcastle United failed to secure a win in their opening seven fixtures. In the 14 Premier League games Williamson has featured, Newcastle have conceded 26 goals, and his chances of remaining a regular have taken a dent with Steven Taylor back fit. 4. CENTRE-BACK | Dejan Lovren | The €25...

He was barely one year old when his parents neglected him and parted ways after a serious fight, simply because he was an albino, a rare breed that was contrary to what they had both expected. Forty years after, Mr. Abdullahi Obafemi, has yet to recover from the painful knowledge that his parents abandoned him. They tossed him between each other until his grandmother, who was living in northern Nigeria, took over his custody. Obafemi is still haunted by his history, the humiliation and rejection he continues to suffer from the public daily.“I am my parents’ only child. I learnt their marriage ended abruptly the moment my mother gave birth to me as an albino. In fact, I learnt my mother screamed,Eh! Afin ni mo bi(Ha, I gave birth to an albino) when she saw me. “While they were busy denying me and fighting over who would take care of me, my grandmother took me away from them,” Obafemi said with a note of sadness. Growing up was also not easy for Obafemias he h...
