Abbey Clancy Voted Football's Sexiest WAG

Stunning Abbey Clancy has been voted Football's Sexiest WAG. The blonde girlfriend of Liverpool and England striker Peter Crouch beat Cheryl Cole who's the wife of Crouch's England team-mate Ashley Cole into second place.

Liverpool-born Abbey Clancy, 21, shot to fame when she began darting the 6ft 7in bean-pole England striker. Since then she has starred in TV program, Hell's Kitchen, and has just finished shooting her own calendar.

Joe Cole's gorgeous fitness instructor fiancee Carly Zucker, 26, was third, Elen Rives, Spanish-born fiancee of Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard was fourth. Melanie Slade, 18-year-old partner of Arsenal wonderkid Theo Walcott came fifth.

Sadly the poll won't make pleasant reading for poor old Victoria Beckham, wife of LA Galaxy footballer, David Beckham. Self-proclaimed top WAG Posh Spice, 33, limped in towards the bottom of the league at number 17.

Carl Christensen (corr), MD at The People's Club who conducted the survey of 3,000 football fans, said: "Abbey Clancy was a clear winner and it's not hard to see why. She has just about everything that a young multi-millionaire footballer could want in a woman."

"I guess the only question football fans might want answered is: why on earth is she with Peter Crouch?"

"It was good to see that a couple of down-to-earth WAGs like Melanie Slade and Carly Zucker, who are either juggling careers or working hard to get good qualifications, featured in the poll as well. It is little wonder so many girls aspire to being a WAG, and why so many boys aspire to being footballers if they know they could end up with someone as sexy as any of these WAGs."

Outspoken Girls Aloud singer Cheryl, 24, married former Arsenal defender Ashley Cole last year.

Other stunners to make the top 20 include Wayne Rooney's missus Coleen McLoughlin, 21, who was voted in at number six. Coleen has been at the side of Manchester United and England striker Wayne since he was first signed to Everton as a schoolboy.

Jermain Defoe might be out of favour at Spurs at the moment - but his fiancee certainly isn't. Charlotte Mears, 25, made it in at number seven.

Alex Curran, 25, who married Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard in the summer, is at number eight followed by former Emmerdale star and wife of Liverpool's Aussie winger Harry Kewell, Sheree Murphy, 32.

The new wife of England and Chelsea skipper John Terry, Toni Poole, 24, completed the top ten.

Unfashionable Reading have a 'representative' in the shape of Big Brother wannabe Imogen Thomas, 24-year-old girlfriend of Royals defender Ibrahim Sonko.

And even fans of League One outfit Yeovil Town have something to shout about with WAGS Boutique beauty Jadine Bircham, 32, - wife of midfielder Marc - creeping in at number 13.

The fittest Championship WAG was named as Julie Phillips, 36, - wife of crocked West Bromwich Albion and England striker Kevin.

Mrs Beckham was sandwiched between two other WAGS who play for a club which lacks LA Galaxy-style glamour - Bristol City.

Singer Jamelia, 26, who is engaged to marry the Robins striker Darren Byfield and former Atomic Kitten star Liz McClarnon, also 26, lives with Byfield's team-mate Lee Trundle.

Despite her hubby Jamie now concentrating on his career as a pundit Louise Redknapp, 33, crept in at number 20.

Monday Night Football's Memorable Moments

Monday Night Football, because of it being shown in prime time, has long been considered the biggest regular season stage a football player or team can play on. During its thirty-six year stint on ABC, Monday Night Football became the second longest running prime time show in history, behind only 60 Minutes. Throughout its run, Monday Night Football has played host to some of the best and most competitive NFL games ever. Here is a look at some of the more memorable games played, as well as moments relived, on Monday Night Football.

The first Monday Night Football game was played on September 21st, 1970 and pitted the Cleveland Browns against the New York Jets in Cleveland. The Browns won by a score of 31-21 over New York and the rest was history.

During an October 29th, 1973 game between the Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs, MNF announcer "Dandy" Don Meredith had been drinking and uttered the infamous phrase "We're in the Mile High City, and I sure am".

On November 27th, 1978 the San Francisco 49ers hosted the Pittsburgh Steelers; earlier in the day San Francisco mayor George Moscone and city superintendent Harvey Milk had been murdered.

During a Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots game on December 8th, 1980, announcer Howard Cosell broke the news to the entire nation that former Beatle John Lennon had been murdered in front of his apartment in New York City.

Midway through the December 5th, 1983 game between the Washington Redskins and the Dallas Cowboys, Howard Cosell referred to Redskins receiver Alvin Garret (who is African American) as a "little monkey". The commotion surrounding this event led to Cosell stepping down from Monday Night Football following the 1983 season.

On October 17th, 1983 the Packers and Redskins played the highest scoring game in Monday Night Football history with the Packers winning by a score of 48-47.

One week later, on October 24th, 1983 the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals played to the first and only tie game in Monday Night Football history with score being 20-20 after overtime.

The famous 1985 game between the Redskins and the Giants where Lawrence Taylor sacked Joe Theismann, breaking his leg and ending his career was shown on Monday Night Football.

Later in 1985, Monday Night Football would be the stage where the unbeaten 1985 Chicago Bears, on their way to a Super Bowl Championship, would sustain their only loss of the season to the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins would again make Monday Night Football history the very next year when they were part of the biggest blow out ever on Monday Night Football. The Dolphins played the 10-1 New York Jets but defeated them by a score of 45-3.

On October 17th, 1994 Monday Night Football hosted a duel for the ages. Joe Montana brought his Kansas City Chiefs into a game against the Denver Broncos led by John Elway. The Broncos were trailing 24-21 with 1:29 left in the game when Elway ran the ball into the endzone from four yards out giving his team the lead 28-24. Joe Montana then took his team on a 75 yard drive ending with a touchdown with 8 seconds remaining in the game giving the Chiefs a 31-28 victory.

On October 23rd, 2000 the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets would again participate in a memorable battle. In the 4th quarter the score was 30-7 in favor of the Miami Dolphins. Vinny Testaverde went on to lead the Jets in scoring 23 consecutive 4th quarter points to tie the game up. Then, Jets kicker John Hall kicked an overtime field goal for the victory making it not only the longest 4th quarter comeback in Monday Night Football history, but the second longest in NFL history.

In an October 6th, 2003 game between the Buccaneers and Colts, the Colts overcame a 35-14 deficit with 3:43 remaining to tie the game and then win it in overtime.

On December 22, 2003, the Brett Favre of the Packers dismantled the Oakland Raiders by throwing for four first half touchdowns and 399 yards in the game resulting in a 41-7 victory. This game came one day after Favre's father had passed away.

On December 5th, 2005 the Seahawks shutout of the Eagles by a score of 42-0, tied the mark at the time for largest margin of victory in a Monday Night Football game. The game featured the Seahawks scoring three defensive touchdowns.

Monday Night Football has been host to some of the best games and most memorable moments in NFL history. Though the game is now brought to us by ESPN, football fans every where hope that tradition stays the same.
