1) Thierry Henry ... World Cup winner, premier league winner, FA cup winner, champions league winner, euro winner. French all time goal scorer with 51 goals. Fifa confederation cup winner.

What did this guy do not to win? You have players like Michael Owen on the list?


2) Samuel Eto. He played at highest level and scored goals. He basically won everything

3) Seedorf. He wins champions league for fun.

4) Maldini ( unsung hero) but best defender and talk about his longevity in the game

5) Buffon ( If a goal keeper deserves a spot, gotta be him).

eni4real:
Got carried by Eto'o and Milito in Inter Milan
Was in the shadow of Forlan, Xavi , Iniesta and David Villa in the the World Cup!!

Schneider was good tho but Messi was better!!
He should share the Ballon d'or with Modric!!!

Messi was better... In just laliga abi??

Thierry Henry....a wonder he never won iy because he was on another level in his prime.

koreat:
Pele of Brazil

showafrica:


Maradona no dey there...

wizod:
I thought PELE of Brazil was d best of all time or he played in the ocean dat made him unnoticed?

Balon d'Or only went to European Players, not until 1994/5 season when it was lifted.

The first non-European recipient was George Opong Weah.

That was why the likes of Maradona, Pele, Socrates, Romario & co....didn't win it.

Emax911:


who rubbed Henry? was he RUBBED with anointing oil?
lol

Lisabi Agbongboakala. He played for Isese FC back in the days, alongside Omosetan Omoyorun, Sango Olukoso, and Ogun Lakaaye at Igba Irunmole stadium. Oh, those days of pure soccer talent!

Exc2000:



yet ronaldo delima won 3 world best, and 2 Ballon D'or

How in earth can you compare De Lima with 15 world cup goals, including in final, with Ibra who could not even qualify his country for WC with his goals?

Adriano
Henry
Lampard
Gerrald
Ibrahimovic
Neymar Jr

http://www.superbettingsites.com/ballon-dor-winners-list/

Who do you think was qualified for the award but was never given?

Maradona no dey there...

eni4real:
Ribery of course!!!!

Ribery: "it seems as if the Ballon d'or was stolen from me.."

U didnt watch 2010

Orestino:

Kelvin de Bruyne

Maradona and Pele

J JOkocha the best player in the world past present and future too underated

sammchuck1:


Messi was better... In just laliga abi??

Schneider need to be more important than Eto'o and Milito for Inter Milan before he can be compared with Messi!!!

He can't even be better than Forlan, Xavi, Iniesta or Villa in the World cup, yet he want to win the Ballon d'or!!!

Is it not the same Inter Milan that packed the bus??

Schneider did nothing against Barcelona home and away..

Mourinho used all his defence machines to follow Messi everywhere!!

Schneider was just a glorified Varane!!

Why can't Varane win the Ballon d'or in 2018 for winning the UCL and the World cup Trophies??

2010 winner that was robbed Sneijder

Goke7:


na best player we dey yan o not best agbero

Gattuso was a great wrestler. Sorry... player.

So, he should have gotten the award. I maintain my stance.

Henry, Iniesta, Eto, Sneijder, Drogba, Cafu, Pirlo & Maldini.

In the last 30 years, aside Canavarro, defenders however brilliant hardly get a look in.

eni4real:
Schneider got carried by Eto'o and Milito a lot!!!

Ribery was the talisman for Bayern together with Robben..

You keep saying this, at a point iniesta and xavi were pivotal in Messi's early success..they made the tiki-taka possible...not Messi...cannavaro nkọ? Ronaldo came back from a season long injury in korea/Japan 2002 to score crucial goals for Brazil and they gave him the world's best player award..but rivaldo, Carlos and Ronaldinho were the engine of the defence and midfield..

obontami:
Adriano
Henry
Lampard
Gerrald
Ibrahimovic
Neymar Jr

Too many jokers here. Adriano?!

eni4real:
Got carried by Eto'o and Milito in Inter Milan

Schneider was good tho but Messi was better!!
He should share the Ballon d'or with Modric!!!

Which overshadowed, as a midfielder with the highest assist at the UCL dat year
Where did messi reach at the world cup?
Its pure robbery bro

Henry, Iniesta, Dennis Bergkamp, Raul, Robben, Xavi, Ibrahimovic, .....the list goes on and on

Babyforever:

Hey kiddo! it's better you hit your bed. it's way past your bed time

Ribery was robbed. Clearly ROBBED!!!

Diego Maradona.

Maradona probably would have won it for 5+ straight years if not for the yeye rule back then that prevented non-Europeans from winning the prestigious prize.

Diego Forlan
Buffon
Iker casillas

GoshenNLA:

U didnt watch 2010

2010, when Eto'o and Milito carried Schneider??

Or when Mourinho packed the bus to defend Messi and the whole Barcelona??


2010, when Forlan, Xavi, Iniesta and Villa outclassed Schneider in the World cup??

Schneider was just a glorified Varane

Why can't Varane win the Ballon d'or in 2018 for winning the UCL and World cup Trophies??

GoshenNLA:

Its pure robbery bro

Where is Schneider's World cup Golden ball??

Lampard

IL CAPITANOS

FRANCO BARESI
PAOLO MALDINI

GoshenNLA:

This your list is kinda wrong though
Ronaldo de lima won it 3 times, 1996, 1997 and 2002

He won it twice.

It was the world player of the year he won thrice.
