news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7822115.stmCristiano Ronaldo has been named the Fifa World Player of the Year for 2008. The Portugal and Manchester United winger becomes the first Premier League player to win the award. Ronaldo, 23, beat AC Milan's Kaka, Liverpool's Fernando Torres and Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Xavi to the prestigious title. "It's an overwhelming moment in my career and I'd like to dedicate this award to my family, friends and colleagues," said the United star. His 42 goals for Manchester United last season helped the Old Trafford club clinch the Premier League and Champions League double. Ronaldo, who also picked up the European Player of the Year crown in December and the FifPro World Footballer of the Year honour in October, paid special tribute to United boss Sir Alex Ferguson.

he should be given the clap!!! not a clap ;D ;D Top drawer OG. ;D KK doesn't sit on the fence there.  He is a crybaby and diver. Messi for me all the way and not because he is an Albiceleste. CR7 always goes missing in the big games. Against Brazil his best efforts were directed against trying to injure the opposition . Petulant child. Besides he'll be off to Real Madrid by 2010 and no doubt most of the Reds fans will turn... violently.  |

Are those pics from greglouganis.com OG ? He is a bit of a nancy boy as well. Topping up that tan all the time and making sure his hair is just so before every free kick. It should be a public vote .I reckon Messi would win and KK says so. Leo would even get some of the Brazilians votes. They love him over there. I love the FIFA Player of the Century Poll. Pele was awarded it despite the global public vote going to Maradona. Maradona walked out as Pele was receiving it and they had to make him the dual winner or something along those lines. |

To be perfectly honest, i think it's a disgrace that Ferdinand wasnt in the nominations - he was every bit as important as Ronaldo in Uniteds team last season.

The FIFA world player of the year award is one which is supposed to mean a fair bit, as its voted for by fellow players/managers in the game. Anyone interested to see how the votes went? |
