The world of football has to recognize and praise that. |

It really does frustrate me how defenders are always overlooked for this kind of award. Maldini is one of the greatest ever, and that he is not honoured is ludicrous. And Luis Figo 2nd just goes to show what a fickle poll that was. He was just a good winger for a few years, and aboslutely nothing special in the history of football. He'll be forgotten in 10 or 20 years. Maldini will never be forgotten by anyone who knew football. I voted for him too. Still, theres always next year looking at previous wnners who no longer play!

Although that is true (us looking to next yr).. I don't think Paolo can give 100% as he used too, let's count the last two season to be safe .. But to give that award to a player that not only didn't play well for the past two seasons, but has been cursed with an injury (2001) that he never recovered fully from !!! While Paolo was injured so many times in his career, but kept putting in 100% into every minute he played for us .. He should have gotten it hands down. But I guess in the end, these people don't know Paolo the way we do (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |
