Enjoy your Amazon spending spree :) I'm very pleased to have done so well, at the same time as being gutted, having got so close. In all though I'm delighted, for two reasons: 1. as the entry clearly stated, I never actually came up with an idea for the competition and 2. I'm really just a baby at all this; 5 months ago I had never even considered writing about football and didn't even know what a 'blog' was! So here's to hoping that the newboy gets to stick around. Thanks to all who voted for me and thanks to Ahmed for considering me one of the better ones. And thanks also to BD Condell, who twice commented on how much he liked my piece, so nice one mucka. OK speech over :) Mart Congratulations Will. Enjoy your Amazon spending spree :)

Congratulations, Will. Ahmed's assessment is spot on - a worthy winner and no mistake. Commiserations to Martin. Born out of last-minute panic your piece may have been, but it was ingenious all the same. Thanks to Ahmed for running the competition. And thanks to my mam and my cat for voting for me.
