Another solid and sizeable centre-half, having joined Leeds from Chelsea in June 1999 for £4.5m.

However, the now 41-year-old never really made the grade at Elland Road, after making just 67 appearances for the club until 2005, a year after the club’s relegation from the top-flight, before he instead became a firm fans favourite at Stoke City.

Duberry became club captain at the Potters, playing almost 100 games for the club, which impressed Reading in January 2007, who offered him a return to the Premier League.

After failing to score in 57 games for the Royals, he was released from the Madejski Stadium in May 2009, before spells at Wycombe Wanderers, St Johnstone, Oxford United and non-league Hendon followed.

Nowadays, Duberry has dipped into the sports media industry and has regularly contributed towards Sky Sports features.
