THERE'S simply no stopping - or beating - Rovers keeper Brad Friedel at the moment.

The United States international's stunning form for Rovers has earned him an inclusion in yet another team of the season.

For both Friedel and Rovers' Aussie defender Lucas Neill are featured in the Carling Opta best XI for the 2002/03 Premiership campaign.

The American stopper has already been named in the PFA Team of the Season, as well as being voted the BBC North West Footballer of the Year.

On top of that, he also won the Official Supporters, Disabled Supporters and Junior Rovers player of the year awards, to cap an outstanding season of personal success.

He made the Opta team after repelling an amazing 80 per cent of shots faced.

Having regularly featured in the Carling Opta 'team of the week,' Neill also secured the right-back berth after being one of only four players to make over 150 tackles.

The full Opta Team of the Season is: Friedel, Neill, Hyppia, Woodgate, Silvestre, Scholes, Vieira, Keane, Pires, Henry, Van Nistelrooy.
