Every December, the finest football experts from around the world gather in the most boring country they can think of (normally Switzerland) to dish out predictable awards to the 'best' players on the planet, i.e. it's an excuse to applaud Lionel Messi even more than we already do. The award is known as the Balon D'or.
I have nothing against this, but it does get awfully boring when one player is so clearly dominant. But what about the world of football's worst performers? Surely there contributions are just as telling to results as those of the good players; an own goal is worth the same amount as a golazo, a wayward pass worth the same as an unbelievable dribble. And yet the James Perch's of this world get nowhere near the recognition that is awared to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo. This must change. This will change.
Starting next week, the (soon to be) world famous Âne D'or awards will seek to remedy this injustice and give football's worst performers the recognition they deserve.
