Joe Hart hasn't had the best of seasons this term. A string of gaffes led to him being ditched by club and country with Costel Pantilimon and Fraser Forster usurping him as No.1 at Manchester City and England. But he has shown the strength of character to regain the No.1 jersey recently and has justified his employers' decision to hand him recalls with a series of brilliant performances. Hart wears his, erm, heart on his sleeve and never masks his emotions, with the brilliant face he pulled on New Year's Day after Wilfried Bony fired just wide being the best example. You can say what you like about his occasionally-wavering form, but you simply cannot fault his passion.
