| I never realised this was such a prestigeous (sp?) award, what with so
many footballing powers having a vote like! And didn't some of them use
that vote well!

I did notice this Heribert...did you expect any different ???
Dezzz.

| 584.8 | re -1 | VNA03::HERIBERT | | Mon Jan 27 1997 10:03 | 22 |
| Dezzz,
Yes, I do not expect such a vote from any coach.
My personal player of the Year is Alan SHEARER and I AM NO ENGLISH.
Vote of English trainer:
1.Weah 2. Shearer 3. Ronaldo
... more than fair, Glen Hoddle
Italy:
Ronaldo Shearer Eilts
....the same for Sacchi
Germany:
1. German player, 2. German player, 3. German Player
....Berti VOGTS ????

| 584.9 | More bias | SIGSR1::BEGLEY_M | | Mon Jan 27 1997 12:22 | 19 |
| Vogts is not the only one who's a tad partial, check out the votes of
Costa Rica, Croatia and Spain as further examples. Also there are
plenty of examples of players who were only voted for by either their
country of origin or their neighbours, Guatemala is a good example.
Looking at this whole business it's surprising to me that (ignoring the
minority of players who got just a few votes) the votes from such a
wide variety of countries were pretty consistent in usually picking
Ronaldo, Shearer and Weah in some order or another. I mean what does
someone from Iran know of the players who play in the Argentinian
league and vice versa? The whole thing is very obviously Euro centric
(most of the votes webt to players who play in a European league) but
how do we know that Ronaldo or Shearer or Weah are better than someone
who plays for a Brazilian team and that we never see except in
internationals?
Pretty meaningless if you ask me.

| 584.10 | What do they get anyway - ANOTHER trophy ?? | CHEFS::16.43.128.47::Mad | Open Fire, Number One !!! | Mon Jan 27 1997 12:37 | 11 |
| re prev.
I agree, but it's a good chance for a few over-paid football exec's to shake
hands with the people that they never were. I saw the highlights and there was
the 3 maestros (Ron/Al/George) surrounded by fat blokes in suits (not-gazza)
all grinning inanely and shaking each other by the hand.It is farsical. Mind
you the SKY award reminded me of a very sad Brit Awards a year or two
back......

| 584.11 | List the 3 footballer's names you've heard most. | EDSD05::WILCOCKSON | | Mon Jan 27 1997 14:18 | 8 |
| Worra load o'wank!
How can anybody be expected to know how good every footballer in the
WORLD plays?? How many games would you have to watch?
I agree entirely with the previous note, most managers simply voted
for the names they knew (says a lot about Berti Vogts eh?).
