James Ward-Prowse has brought a new genre of footballer back into the mainstream.

For years now, goalkeepers have been getting far more capable at stopping free-kicks from going in. Thierry Henry once said that more often not, you just have to get the shot on target - now keepers are often equal to a free-kick and walls even put a body behind on the ground to stop a cheeky low drill.

In that respect, JWP is a throwback. A south-coast Beckham, capable of bending one from 25 yards top bins in an age in which it's seemingly ever-increasingly difficult to do so. 

The Premier League website only lists official free-kick scorers - directly of course - since 2006/07. Sorry, Becks. Still, we thought we'd test your knowledge of who's looped one up and over a wall since then.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
