actually the youngest player in England to make an apperance for a club is Aaron Lennon, now of Tottenham. Before that is was Owen, who got beat by Rooney, who got beat by Milner, who then got beat by his Leeds teammate Lennon. But in Europe I don't know.

I think this is a great selection if correct, especially as our local newspaper in Stoke-on-Trent has been lobbying for Phil Taylor's nomination!\n\nI can't think of a British footballer who would merit a nomination this year given England's appalling performance in the World Cup and British club's lack of success in Europe last season.\n\nYes I think footballers are over-rated in comparison to other sports, but they usually dominate these kind of awards because of the huge media exposure given to football.\n\nThe cause of the demise in the game can be traced directly to the amount of money now awash in the game, which has led to a "win at all costs" attitude, and also players who, to put it bluntly, have more money than sense.\n\nThe awards are not devalued for me in any way by no footballer making the final shortlist: it's great that Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe have been recognised, along with Phil Taylor who is undisputably the best ever at his profession.  Credit also to Beth Tweddle as she has something no-one can ever take away from her - Britain's first ever world champion in her sport.  Top marks also to Nicole Cooke for overcoming horrendous injuries when she was knocked off her bike whilst training and going on to win the year-long World Cup.  My two quibbles would be Jensen Button (only won one Grand Prix) and Zara Phillips - like Formula 1 it doesn't matter how good the driver/rider is if the car/horse isn't good enough.  Ms Phillips was lucky enough to be given an excellent horse by its owners.

If you mean FIFA's World Footballer of the Year, the answer is George Weah, Liberia, Ac Milan (1995). You could also mention Zinedine Zidane,France, Real Madrid (2000), because he was actually born in Algeria.\n \nThe African Footballer of the Year 2005 was Samuel Eto'o, of Cameroon and FC Barcelona

The best English player in England is in my opinion: Wayne Rooney.\n\nThe best player in the English Premier League is Thierry Henry who plays for France (although he didn't play too well yesterday.

Please, give me the names of one top class english player. They have a very well balanced team and very disciplined, but that's all. And that could be enough.

It's hard to say. Saudi Arabia defender Hamad Al Montashari was named Asian Player of the Year this past year. The Al Ittihad star beat off the challenge of Uzbekistan's Dynamo Kiev striker Maksim Shatskikh for a title diminished by the exclusion of most of Asia's best players because they could not travel to Malaysia for the ceremony.\n\nAn Asian Football Confederation (AFC) dictate that a player must attend the ceremony to be eligible for the award ruled out Manchester United star Park Ji-Sung and his South Korean teammate Lee Young-Pyo of Tottenham Hotspur. It also excluded the Japanese pair of Shunsuke Nakamura and Hidetoshi Nakata and last year's winner Ali Karimi of Bayern Munich.\n\nMy choice would be Park Ji-Sung from South Korea. I think he has been an important part of Manchester United's run this year.
