Nevertheless it's a bit of a coincidence I've been visiting this site for a year and never knew we had played for the same club lol.

Hasn't almost every player's, in about the last 10 years, career gone down hill almost directly after they won that award? there's a very good chance I'm wrong but if I'm not I'd take the Fifa award. why do I have this memory of reading somewhere the Ballon d’Or was kind of cursed or something?

I played a season for Bullets and wore those same yellow and blue kits. Dudley Wood was our home pitch, near the speedway. 99% sure it was around 1996, and we finished second in the league before disbanding. What year Mooon?

Those winners include Zidane (98 only), Rivaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Cannavaro, Kaka and CR7. And Messi is likely to win both this year.
