Name: Ilhan Mansiz
National team: Turkey
Squad number: 17
Caps: 21
Goals: 7
Impact substitute and swashbuckling metrosexual Ilhan Mans17 lit up Japan and South Korea with his pace and trickery. Although he only played in one World Cup, he indelibly wrote his name and number 17 into World Cup history.
He scored the Golden Goal that took Turkey to the semi-finals, and very nice it was too.
He also made his mark when his tenacity allowed Hakan Şükür to score the fastest goal in World Cup history.
But above all, he will always be remembered by football fans for this piece of bri17iance.
Commitment to 17: Not great. He wore 26 for most of his club career.
