    Here's the list of who every captain and manager entitled to vote voted for:

    http://fr.fifa.com/mm/document/classic/awards/99/15/29/resultsmenforfifa.com.pdf

    A few points that stood out:

    Lol @ Benayoun the homer, voting both Torres and Gerrard
    Shay Given voted for Iker Casillas
    Trapattoni went for Messi

    It's actually a lot closer then people expected. Looks like Ronnie only won it by the skin of his teeth,

    Was wondering that myself. At a guess Keane wasn't available so it went to the vice-captain?

    Just looking over the list and found it interesting to note that more captains voted for Ronaldo than managers and more managers voted for Messi than captains. Does this tell us anything ?

    Nuno Gomes should never be allowed to vote again.

    Even Mascherano voted him above his own teammates - interesting conversations in that dressing room. :eek:

    Another that voted for him thar was unlikely was Drogba
