I had to add in this quote from the BBC version of this story:
Quote:
....
But Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes striker Thierry Henry should have won the award
"Congratulations to Cannavaro if that is the case - but for me there is only one candidate this year and that is Thierry Henry," said Wenger.
"He was the top goalscorer in England, the best player in England, the second-highest goalscorer in Europe behind Luca Toni.
"He played in the Champions League final and he played in the World Cup final."

Wenger's logic is brilliant. If those are the criteria Wenger judges players on then surely Toni has a better shout for the award? He was top scorer in Italy, top scorer in Europe, he played in the WC final too , the difference being he got a winners medal.
