I personally think Sheva should won it. I was surprised by the number of votes Roberto Ayala got. I know he is a good player but a few countries gave him as their World Player of the Year

[Jebac]

Bullshit, Ronaldinho all te way , he deserved it, a real class player.
You just dont like him because hes black LOL

[Kieran]

Yeah. Ronaldinho is a class player and i dont like him. Not cause he is black.....cause he chose Barca over Man Utd. Sheva was much more deserving in my opinion. He has an extraordinary goalscoring record over the past year

[semja]

Yer Sheva for me too im a huge huge fan of his. His Ukrainian like me too.

You know Chelsea offered him 60mil in Euros and AC Milan rejected it straight away, thats gotta tell you how vital he is.

[Kieran]

I wish Sheva would find his way over to Old Trafford one day. But thats a dream that won't likely happen:( How much is 60mil Euros in British pounds? I'm lookin forward to when we duel with him at Old Trafford and the San Siro:D

[kevin_kyle]

Why not Henry....his contribution for Arsenal's unbeaten EPL run was unbelievable.
Still not knocking Dinho or Shevy....they are outstanding players who had outstanding seasons

[Kieran]

Because he isn't a big game player yet. He had an outstanding season against Leeds, Wolves and Leicester whilst the others had outstanding seasons in Europe and domestically. If Henry half repeats his domestic form and performs well in Europe, consider him a shoo in for next years award

[atlas]

I think Shevchenko should have won, he has been great for both club and country.

[Braden]

I think Dinho fully deserves it, he won by over 100 points and I wouldn't be surprised if he won it next year...and the year after :) go Barca!

[George]

Although i quite despise Henry, i have to agree with kevin kyle. without him, there is no way arsenal could hold an unbeaten run like that, even with their "superstar" player reyes.

[Jebac]

I reckon Aurelio Vidmar should've won the award, he is such a class player, have you seen the way he does tricks, ufff !!!

[Zim^zuM]

What about Paul Okon ? He finally got his bench warming career back on track at a league worse then the NSL ever was. But as long as you're playing in "europe"

Another very nice goal by Henry tonight. Although it was against Fulham, but Van Der Sar can keep fairly well.
Can anyone think of a Dutch keeper who was better than Van Der Sar?
Even from the 70's when they went sick?

[Jony]

Memories...

Too bad he wont win it this year:(

[Victory2006]

I doubt either of those three will be featuring in this season's top 3.

[sj]

Steven Gerrard will win it ;)

[T-Mac69]

Steven Gerrard will win it ;)

Bahahahahahahaha

[sj]

Bahahahahahahaha

Fuck off :mad: You can buy your scum from every corner of the Earth, but you'll never have a player as good as Stevie G...

[T-Mac69]

Stevie G grew up as a Everton fan. :)

Stevie G grew up as an Everton fan. :)

That was probably passed on by his parents. However, it's what you do with life that defines yourself. The boy is a Red, through and through. :cool:

[Jony]

you'll never have a player as good as Stevie G...

[Victory2006]

Jony, don't be biased now. If you seriously think that, other than Ronnie, those other four are better players than Gerrard, you're deluded. :)

[chelsea_victory]

I dont think there has been a dominant player this year, Ronaldinho definitely deserved it last year but i dont know who deserves it this year.

[futuremelvicstar]

What about Paul Okon ? He finally got his bench warming career back on track at a league worse then the NSL ever was. But as long as you're playing in "europe"

Anyone else find this funny:D

[sj]

Jony, don't be biased now. If you seriously think that, other than Ronnie, those other four are better players than Gerrard, you're deluded. :)

He is deluded... the poor bastard is a commie for starters.

He also thinks beaver face can defend.:rolleyes: ;)

Pelé, Maradonna, Garrincha, Cruyff, Eusebio, Friedenreich... > Best :)

[irish]

Pelé, Maradonna, Garrincha, Cruyff, Eusebio, Friedenreich... > Best :)


ok you might be right witht the first 2 (MAYBE) but best is for sure top 3.

[Pepinovic]

Top 10 I think, although it's always hard to say and people have their biased opinions/preferences of style.

I don't think he was better than Cruyff and Friedenreich, not Pelé, should probably be seen as the world's greatest player ever.

[Jony]

Jony, don't be biased now. If you seriously think that, other than Ronnie, those other four are better players than Gerrard, you're deluded. :)
Messi is, no delusion.

[T-Mac69]

Neck up Jony you muppet.

[the_Cesc]

THIERRY HENRY

[acmilan_victory]

Buffon or Cannavaro will win it.
