There's a perception in some circles of this sport that only real football fans have knowledge of obscure players three divisions down and wonderkids from far-off continents.

That's rubbish, of course. Football fandom is measured in your passion and excitement rather than the depths of your knowledge. But just how clued up are you when it comes to players breaking through? 

We've listed out 30 footballers. Some of them are real wonderkids at real clubs, looking to break through. Others are completely fake: Football Manager regens, if you will, who we've made up for the purposes of trying to trip you up.

So to quote the kids, how good's your ball knowledge?
