Profile of Matt Youngman

One of the topics we have been discussing in the office is, should we feature profiles of players on the blog. Well the ayes took it and we then had to decide who we should feature first. We believe that Matt Youngman has had an enormous impact on the pitch this season and as one of the captains in Saturdays finale we are delighted to feature him. It would have been nice if he had kept his clothes on for the photo session ;) but we guess that it might please some of our readers.
