As its FA Cup Final week, the Alive and Kicking team go back to the ten finals of the 1990s and pick an XI made up of players who appeared in the season showpiece during the decade. 

Joining Ash Rose and landlord of the Football Tavern, Ed Chambers, is the man behind Premiership Polls Rob Siney and they each pick their own XI of Cup Final heroes. However, there are two rules; you have to pick a player from each of the ten cup finals from the decade and there can be no more than two players from any same cup final club. Simple? Not quite. Have a go yourself and #Keepit90s.
