UEFA has announced 32 players who are vying to become the best European football player of the year.
The nominees were selected by journalists from all UEFA member countries after listing the names of five players. Interestingly, this time on the list next to such superstars as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi is the little-known Les Davies.
The 27-year-old forward represents the semi-professional club "Bangor City" in Wales. Since all players who were mentioned at least once were included in the list, Davies also received the honor.
"I couldn't even dream about it," Davies himself marveled.
Contenders for the best European football player award:
Sergio Aguero (“Man City”), Xabi Alonso (“Real”), Mario Balotelli (“Man City”), Jakub Blaszczykowski (“Borussia”), Gianluigi Buffon (“Juventus”), Iker Casillas (“Real”), Petr Cech (“Chelsea”), Fabio Coentrao (“Real”), Les Davies (“Bangor City”), Didier Drogba (“Shanghai Shenhua”), Cesc Fabregas (“Barcelona”), Radamel Falcao (“Atletico”), Joe Hart (“Man City”), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (“Milan”), Andres Iniesta (“Barcelona”), Shinji Kagawa (“Man Utd”), Vincent Kompany (“Man City”), Frank Lampard (“Chelsea”), Lionel Messi (“Barcelona”), Luka Modric (“Tottenham”), Mesut Ozil (“Real”), Pepe (“Real”), Andrea Pirlo (“Juventus”), Sergio Ramos (“Real”), Raul (“Al Sadd”), Cristiano Ronaldo (“Real”), Wayne Rooney (“Man Utd”), David Silva (“Man City”), Fernando Torres (“Chelsea”), Yaya Toure (“Man City”), Robin van Persie (“Arsenal”), Xavi (“Barcelona”);
