Contact The England Stars

Fans on contacttheplayers.com website can send and recive messages to TWO England internationals!

Seasoned international Joleon Lescott already answers all his fanmail online via contacttheplayers.com, and the number of David Beckham's top-level team-mates in the England side you can write to has just doubled - with Darren Bent being called up to the squad by Fabio Capello.

Lescott didn't feature on Saturday, with Capello opting to test Upson and Glen Johnson instead, but he did make it to the bench. With Carlton Cole injured in the friendly match against Slovakia, England boss Fabio has called up Tottenham youngster Darren Bent to add some attacking pace and flair to the side. Bent can't wait to start answering your questions!

England face Ukraine on Wednesday night hoping to secure all three points in their World Cup Qualifying match, with Bent and Lescott both waiting to hear your support!

Park Ji Sung beats Cristiano Ronaldo

Park Ji Sung has been crowned as the inaugural Fans' Player of the Week on www.contacttheplayers.com!

Park won the most popular award by a fair distance over Cristiano Ronaldo and Fernando Torres, who were always going to be in the hunt for the title. He had more messages sent to him than any of the other footballers - in spite of the fact that fans aren't even guaranteed responses.

He is a mega-star back home in Korea (where he has returned ahead of the international game against Iraq), but its not really been picked up on by the Western media - until now!

The support that Park has over in the Far East – in Korea, Malaysia and Indonesia especially – is unbelievable! He is by far the most popular player on the website – playing for Manchester United obviously helps, but it is the hard work and effort that Park puts in at every game that has made him a favourite of the fans.

Well done Park!
