Berbatov was on Sky Sport's Fantasy Football Club this week, where he chose his One2Eleven, which is a fancy title for a teammates XI.
In an act of surprising (and slightly disappointing) humility, Berbatov has not included himself. Instead, he decided to pair Wayne Rooney with his old Tottenham striking partner, Robbie Keane:
Berbatov and Keane formed a superb partnership at Spurs before both going their separate ways, and it is good to see Berbatov remembers it fondly.
Keane is in esteemed company:
Not bad.
