Poland - Grzegorz Rasiak
At six foot three Poland striker Grzegorz Rasiak is, unsurprisingly, at his best in the air.
Indeed his aerial ability prompted Tottenham manager Martin Jol to spend £2.2million to sign him from Derby County in August 2005 after Fredi Kanoute left the White Hart Lane club for Seville.
Prior to that he had been instrumental in the Rams' run to the Coca-Cola Championship play-offs in 2004/5, scoring 17 goals and leading the line with skill and authority.
He has since found things harder in the Premiership, often being used a last-resort substitute, but has impressed at Spurs with his workrate and willingness to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in.
He began his career with Polish outfit Groclin Dyskobolia before joining Siena and then the Rams.
A regular in the Poland side - playing home and away against England in qualification - Rasiak scored three goals in two friendlies at the start of the season.
