To win the European Footballer Of The Year awarded by France Football you have to be European. Di Stefano and Sivori, despite being born in Argentina were both nationalised by their respective European countries (Spain and Italy) and subsequently represented them.

I believe this used to be the case, but was changed to include all those playing in European leagues sometime around 1994. I believe Weah and Ronaldo have won the award since that change.

Just put down the whole Real Madrid roster, why doncha. It's simpler that way. LMAO!

Some great players there. I like the 1969 list. :D

Tsk, 1972 is much better...

[lanman]

I like 1960 myself.

[Gregoriak]

I don't know why I stopped in 1980. The period '80-'90 sure is interesting as well.

[ForeverRed]

Interesting to note, when Cruyff won, he won damn convincingly. Huge margin of points between him and second place.

Thanks Gregoriak.

[Pakalolo]

To win the European Footballer Of The Year awarded by France Football you have to be European. Di Stefano and Sivori, despite being born in Argentina were both nationalised by their respective European countries (Spain and Italy) and subsequently represented them.
they changed it, now you only have to play in Europe. Ronaldo, Rivaldo,...

From the early 90s they changed it, yes.

[lanman]

Thanks Gregoriak.

74 was pretty close between him and Beckenbauer, but 72 was beyond that - 2 points from 1st (Beckenbauer) to third and 6 more to 4th. 6 points got 6th place as well.
Di Stefano (57), Blokhin (75) and Rummenigge (80) look like the clearest winners.

[dor02]

Tsk, 1972 is much better...Why am I not surprised?

1960 does have an impressive list. Looking at the 1970 list, there's one of obvious reason on why Dzajic and Cryuff are lowly placed.

Even though that Dzajic was a star at Euro 68, I didn't expect the votes tally between Best, Charlton and him to be reasonably close.
