THE WINNER: 3/09/2007 THE WINNER IS... DEL PIERO!
Alessandro Del Piero, the captain of Juventus FC, has won the 2007 GOLDEN FOOT award, the prestigious international career prize awarded by the fans voting on the www.goldenfoot.com web site. Del Piero took the lead since the poll opening (on 15th May last) and, even though his first position has been seriously threatened by Roberto Carlos, he has remained steadily the leader till the end of the poll showing that he is the football fans' favourite, and not only in Italy. The "Bianconeri" number 10, who won the 2006 World Cup with the Italian national selection, got 30,199 votes, Roberto Carlos, the Brazilian player of Fenerbahe SK, who, thanks to his Turkish fans' votes struggled with Del Piero for victory till the end and almost got it through an exceptional comeback, finished second (with 29,174 votes). Quite unexpectedly David Beckham finished third (with 24,121 votes), he, thanks to the votes of his American fans, could surpass AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini (with 20,700 votes).
Golden Foot 2007 Winner Alessandro Del Piero: "To win this prize is really nice. Golden Foot is a very important prize in the world of professional football. I'm proud to be in a list with champions like Maradona, Platini and Zico, who left their footprint on the Champions Promenade here in Monte-Carlo. For a football player is massive to remain in people's mind for what he does scoring or winning".
The Italian champions has left his footprints on the CHAMPIONS PROMENADE togheter with great football legends as Gerd Müller, Mario Kempes, Paolo Rossi, Romário de Souza Faria and Hristo Stoitchkov.
The poll to elect the 2007 Golden Foot winner has been a big success: this year 144,273 votes against the slightly more than 103,000 votes of the 2006 edition. Most votes came from the following countries in sequence: China, Italy, USA, Turkey, Argentina, Portugal and Brazil.
