Welcome to 2010! It's the start of a new decade, but Goal.com
must first take a glance back to the first ten years of the 2000s.
To close off the decade we asked you, the readers, to vote for the top player of
the past ten years. The shortlist below was drawn from a series of polls asking
you to pick the best in each position - this accounts for the absence of, among
others, Ronaldinho.
That's how the final nine were chosen - but what about the top one?
The results are in, and the winner is Ronaldo.
The Brazilian legend had a close challenger in the form of Zinedine Zidane, but
in the end prevailed with almost half the vote.
Bringing up the rear were a host of players ranging from Sami Hyypia to Gigi
Buffon, but none could top the former Inter, Real Madrid, and AC Milan man. |
