No10: Arsenal stun Milan

Arsenal produced some stunning results the 10-man comeback in the rain at Bolton, William Gallas' winner against Chelsea but none reached the heights of their San Siro heroics. After a goalless draw at the Emirates, the Gunners delivered a gritty performance against AC Milan to snatch victory with two superb late strikes from Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor.

No9: Goodbye Jol

Poor old Martin Jol. The Dutchman soldiered on as Tottenham boss despite the boards chase of Juande Ramos. Spurs endured a miserable start to the season and Jol was in the firing line for failing to succeed with Dimitar Berbatov and co. He then found himself on the touchline for the UEFA Cup clash with Getafe as news broke around White Hart Lane that he was fired.

No8: Barnsleys cup romp

Cardiff deserved their day in the sun at the FA Cup final but it was Barnsley who produced the real magic. After trailing Liverpool at half-time at Anfield, the Tykes battled back to snatch an epic fifth-round victory thanks to Steve Howards late winner. But just when you thought it could not get any better, the Yorkshire side dumped mighty Chelsea out in the next round.

No7: Fulhams miracle

When Fulham entered the dressing room for half-time at Manchester City trailing by two goals they were effectively relegated from the Premier League. The Cottagers bounced back to snatch a 3-2 win before embarking on an incredible run. The mission was finally completed with just 14 minutes of the season left as Danny Murphys header sealed a critical win at Portsmouth.

No6: Eduardos horror injury

Eduardo was beginning to find his feet as an Arsenal player when he had the rug pulled from under him at Birmingham. The question of whether Martin Taylor deliberately attempted to injure the Gunners star needs no further debate but what is certain is that it threw the Croatians career into the balance. It remains to be seen whether he will ever fully recover from the horrific broken leg.

No5: Super-human free-kick

Cristiano Ronaldo was undoubtedly the star of the season. The Portuguese ace was the inspiration behind Manchester Uniteds Double triumph and the forward finished the campaign with an amazing 42 goals. The were many defining strikes the header in Rome, the hat-trick against Newcastle but none could match his breathtaking free-kick against Portsmouth.

No4: The Messiah returns

Even by Newcastles standards, this season was comical. A new manager, followed by a new owner, could not hide the same old under-achievement. But when boss Sam Allardyce was eventually axed, Mike Ashley make the remarkable decision to bring Kevin Keegan back to the club. Keegan turned around a terrible start to his second stint but will start the season under pressure to work the old magic at St James Park.

No3: McClaren and his umbrella

There are too many moments to recall from Englands Euro 2008 nightmare at a rain-soaked Wembley against Croatia. Scott Carsons horror fumble, super-sub David Beckhams heroics and, finally, Mladen Petrics devastating winner. But the unforgettable image is that of boss Steve McClaren watching on from the sidelines, with only a FA brolly for company.

No2: Farewell Mourinho

Jose Mourinhos lasting impact on English football can be measured by the coverage of his every move since leaving Chelsea. The Portuguese boss has barely been out of the news after his controversial exit from Stamford Bridge in September rocked football. Chelsea have never had a manager like Mourinho and fans still crave his unpredictable behaviour.

No1: Terrys miss

When weary John Terry walked towards the penalty spot at the Luzhniki Stadium, the Chelsea skipper knew he could win the Champions League final. But despite sending Manchester United keeper Edwin van der Sar the wrong way, the defender's slip saw the ball skim the wrong side of the post. Moments later, United had won the Double, Chelsea finished the season empty-handed and Terry was in tears. And days later Avram Grant had lost his job.
