    Igor Belanov. I was googling the past winners. I've got to say he's faded from my memory. He played 33 times for the Soviet Union in the eighties. Going through the list I have to go back to 1962 to found a player I've never heard of: Josef Masopust. And in 1961 it was won by Omar Sívori.

    Sivori played alongside John Charles at Juventus. Saw an interview with Charles and he reckoned Sivori threw a few games in the European Cup, as they won the League quite a few times together but in Europe got knocked out and shouldnt have.

    Not heard of Masopust though. Remember Belanov.

    Lineker was a little unlucky not to win that year, as I recall.

    Pavel Nedved has always been a fave of mine. He was bloody superb.

    Criminally underrated in the grand scheme of things.

    Genuinely shocked Ronaldo has won it.

    Great player, great hair.

    One of the best when Italian football was at its peak.

    I disagree, he was class for both Lazio & Juve when Serie A was a good league (as someone above said).

    He was the great for the decent Czech side in Euro 2004. That Czech Rep v Netherlands match was superb. Still can't believe Greece won that tournament.
