Another day, another national celebration - because we all know that we couldn't possibly go a day in this world without commemorating something completely obscure.

Today? National 'Burger' day. Yep, we have a day where we celebrate the culinary delicacy that is crushed up mince, caked in onions and cheese.

So, in the spirit of fun, good humour and general banter - okay maybe not that - we run you through a starting XI of footballers who would fit nicely into the world of fast food.

1. GK: Dean Gherkin

Probably the most divisive selection on this list is Ipswich Town's current number one.

You either like him or you hate him in burger circles - with many opting to politely remove him from the vicinity without much fuss, while others hurl unnecessary abuse. Sound familiar?

2. RB: Sam Byron-Burger

"Proper hamburgers made from carefully-sourced British beef, freshly prepared and cooked to order, to eat in or to take away." - well that's one way to describe West Ham's young right-back.

He recently joined Championship club Middlesbrough on loan, and at the tender of age of 24, Aitor Karanka will hope he can perfect his recipe to get the best out of him this season.

3. CB: Regan Pooled-Pork

Cor, now we're talking. Fluff around with a bit of prep work and oven cooking, de-skin and carve to your hearts content using a couple of forks.

The end result? A Manchester United youth product hoping to make an impression at Old Trafford in the coming years.

4. CB: Filet-O-Mark Fish

In an expansion to today's menu, we throw back a good couple of decades.

A left-field selection for many, the former Bolton and Charlton certainly offers a bit of a variety - much like the quality of his defending from time to time.

5. LB: Phil Bap

We arrive at one of the most fundamental ingredients to your nutritious, thoroughly uneconomical and no doubt, bad for your digestive system meal.

Seeded, white or even wholemeal - the former Liverpool man comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. If you don't believe me, revisit his eye watering encounter with the post against Chelsea back in the late 1990s.

6. RM: Tomato Ince

Running the right channel is a man who has turned up all over the place in recent years.

The new Stoke City signing is out to prove himself yet again, with the opportunity of playing the highest level back on the aspirations list. Still, he's an essential burger ingredient at the very least.

7. CM: Kevin McDonalds

Probably the market leader in this dog eat dog world (okay, burger eat burger), the former Fulham man is the standout performer.

Taking the lions share of consumer possession, he tenaciously battles away in the heart of midfield - with his supply chain seemingly never ending.

Wow, did I just write that?

8. CM: Gary Big Mac-Allister

The classic. Everybody's favourite. Reliable, tasty and more importantly, offers real value and substance - what more could you ask more?

Well a side of fries, large drink and probably a McFlurry but now we're just getting pernickety aren't we?

9. LM: Patrik Burger

Well travelled, capable of producing a few corkers and generally a go-to performer.

Nothing beats stripping down the trimmings sometimes and just getting a regular bog standard burger - though there was nothing bog standard about some of the goals scored by this former Liverpool & Czech Republic star.

10. ST: Patrik Mc-Schicken Sandwich

Time to add a bit more variety into the mix - and what better way than to introduce Roma's young secret weapon.

Offering something on the menu that none of the others do, the Mc-Schicken sandwich can do a job - either from the start or as a late replacement to proceedings.

11. ST: Marlon Burger King

We've seen the offerings of their nearest and dearest rivals - but never discount plumping for the more deluxe, gourmet option.

We had many players in mind for this coveted role, but the former Watford and Birmingham hitman is perfectly suited - and has the ability to fire this side to glory.

Manager: Barry Fries

There was only one candidate to takeover this faithless task - one that former Peterborough manager Barry Fry would no doubt 'relish'.

And with that, I'm get my coat.
