Football has a tradition of throwing up great individual rivalries.

Over the years we have been treated to Pelé against Bobby Moore, Johan Cryuff versus Franz Beckenbauer, and more recently Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have had us amazed with their silky skills.

Now another rivalry which will have connoisseurs of the beautiful game salivating takes place - SpongeBob SquarePants v QPR mascot Jude the Cat.
