Andy lifts the cup!

A week after Arsenal lifted the FA Cup at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, it was time for another presentation! Andrew Taylor won this year's Fantasy FA Cup competition with a best-ever points total of 127.

He was presented with his trophy and cheque by tournament organiser Matthew Mayer. The presentation took place at Queens' College, Cambridge, where Andrew is currently studying Geography.

The interview

How do you feel about winning Fantasy FA Cup?

It was good to have won it before the final round. It meant I could watch the final without caring for the first time in years

Who were you supporting in the final

Arsenal: the least of two evils

Many people would say that your predictions are boring. You often go for lots of 1-0 home wins.

Do these people want to win? I make sensible predictions!

Describe yourself in three words

Why would I want to do that?

That's seven words actually...

Who would you consider to be your hero?

I think there are aspects of other people which one can aspire to, but in my eyes no-one is better than me (that's not supposed to sound arrogant)

Who is the most intelligent footballer today?

Aki Riihilahti of Crystal Palace. Go to www.akiriihilahti.com, it's really good!

Do you think supporting a second-rate team like Crystal Palace gives you a more in depth knowledge of teams in the lower divisions, which comes in handy when making predictions?

Second rate?

Are you looking forward to the world Cup?

Yes, though only the group stages, because England are going to get knocked out

Have you entered World Cup Predictions yet?

I've signed up but I haven't decided on all my predictions yet. I can't be expected to win everything!

Who will win the World Cup?

France. Argentina. France.

If you had to pick a dark horse...?

Black Beauty

Seriously?

Ireland - Clinton Morrison of course

Who would you get to sing the England World Cup song?

Billy Bragg

And finally the most important question... if you were a crisp flavour, which one would you be?

Sweet and sour pork

Thanks very much for wasting our time!

You're welcome.

Don't forget there are only a couple of weeks left to enter World Cup Predictions, our new game for the World Cup! The deadline is May 30th...

Fantasy FA Cup may have finished, but World Cup Predictions is only just starting. Head on over to www.fantasyfacup.com/worldcup to sign up!
